WARNING: Spoilers Ahead
 

In Part 1 of this episode, Grace dissects one of the acclaimed 'greatest films ever made:' La Dolce Vita, directed by Federico Fellini. She discusses the recurring themes of the mockery of the sacred, the imitations of happiness, hypocrisy and futility, and the comparisons to Dante's Divine Comedy.


As this is one of the most complex and symbolic films of all time, she has decided to split this episode into two parts. The second part of this episode will be about Marcello's relationship with the women in this film, the projected feminine archetypes, and the biblical comparisons and interpretations.

In this episode, Grace discusses her take on the controversial writer and philosopher Ayn Rand’s philosophy of Objectivism and how it has been widely distorted and generalised. She discusses the virtue of selfishness and its misconception, what individualism means, free will, the selfish nature of love, and how all of these concepts have been hijacked, gentrified, and mass distributed by entitled, faux nihilistic yuppies.

Disclaimer: this is just my take and interpretation on the text and idea, obviously generalised because of condensing the time. No idea can or should be applied to everything, and definitely not in the extreme. I am merely clarifying and defending certain aspects of Ayn Rand’s philosophy. This is not the only way to see it, but this is what makes sense to me, and you are welcome to (and should) form your own opinion about it.

In this first episode, Grace analyses the 2014 film Whiplash by Damien Chazelle. Whiplash is about an ambitious young man, Andrew, who enrols in a music conservatory to become a drummer. But he is mentored by Terence Fletcher, whose unconventional training methods push him beyond the boundaries of reason and sensibility.

Grace mainly discusses the iconic finale scene where Andrew embarks on a 5-minute drum solo, and how it challenges identity, liberation, oneness, and the will to power.
