Wat zijn wij aan het doen?

En daar is de volgende (zelfde, maar andere kennis). Eerst las ik dit:

"Author: jayday from voorburg city, Holland

I saw Simon in the cinema and it was a fantastic experience. Simon is a summary of Dutch culture and especially the Amsterdam subculture. The actors are all standouts in this movie and have the performances of their careers. I agree with previous comments that Cees Geel's performance was Oscarworthy. I watch movies everyday and I must say Simon was the best I have seen in YEARS! First of all, Simon is about Holland. Holland was once famous for windmills, cheese, tulips and wooden shoes. These days we (the Dutch) are famous for gay marriage, euthanasia, legalized prostitution, legalized marihuana use and islamofascist murders. In other countries themes like these give people the feeling of a modern Sodom & Gomorra.

This movie sets the right mood from the start. It is a commercial for modern, Western liberal countries where everyone can be their full self. Simon is a drug dealing, swearing, unemployed guy, who sheets on his girlfriend. Yet, you cannot dislike him! He is charismatic, funny, good at heart and completely original. His friendship with Camiel is somehow weird, as he is a gay, shy dentist student. Their friendship suffers a setback and they meet back after 14 years. Camiel and Simon team up with their entire group of friends and offspring to give Simon the best last days of his life.

This movie is important, because it reflects exactly what people in the '90s wanted Holland to be. I can cry at what my country has become of these days, but I can also smile at the warm intentions of what it once inspired to be. People all over the world, watch this movie! It will make you laugh, it will make you cry, but it will also make you think.

Eddy Terstall thank you for this fantastic achievement. This movie will be remembered someday and be seen as an international classic."

En toen keek ik dit, en toen vond ik dit:

"I can do no more but agree wholeheartedly with Jayday from Voorburg. Must paraphrase his comment because it may be hard to find (took me a while to refind it): "I cry at what my country has become, but I can also smile at the warm intentions of what it once aspired to be.". And I add. 'We hold these truths to be self-evident'. God bless the United States of America. But, first, he will damn well take the time to bless Holland. And it is not because I am from there. But because, given the choice, I would WANT to be from there, rather than from the only country in the world that really defends freedom - because, even now, Holland IS freedom. These are the Netherlands I WILL fight and die for. I hold these truths to be self-evident. Thank you, Simon. And thank you, Eddy Terstall."

Want ik had al eens eerder iets gezegd, over die Eddy. Ik vind dat nog steeds. Leve Paars. Weg met de Fortuyn-revolutie. Zowel de vermeende regenteskheid van Paars, als het 'monddood' maken van rechts voorafgaand aan die 'revolutie', benne ziekmakende leugens.

En als ik u dan verder nog een tip mag geven? Shooting dogs.
