Put the word in a search engine, and you turn up video clips of the scene, transcripts of Brennan's lines, and some comments about the idea he presents.Īs it turns out, the idea is a fairly ancient one. It turns out that the scene (early in the movie) where Walter Brennan's character explains his coined term 'heelots' is somewhat famous (or notorious, depending upon your point of view). P.S.: Beware of all those people who claim contempt for specious reasoning -starting from me. In conclusion, Doe's movement seems like a plausible alternative but its own inadequacy to the needs of the organized society render it brittle meaning that its lack of commitment to any particular agenda (lack of definition), its fundamentally ludic purpose (lack of sustainability) and, nonetheless, its dependence on media to strive (lack of speakers at the Doe's-Con), add up to a fast forgotten statement of goodwill, more or less what politics and religious scams are about to the vox populi. In sum, the reform of a society is beyond the reform of any part of its individuals since we can't determine how many of those are needed to make transcendent change, the only way to assert that a difference has been made is to impact on the whole of society, including its institutions and general attitude. The Moral Law and its subjects are therefore overruled by social regulations, unwritten convention, and ultimately, general convenience. In order to address necessity, if not correctly enough at least vigorously enough, we socialize. But on the long run this view falls short, since matters of necessity dictate the need for coordinated action, i.e.: teamwork. So to say, the possible solution points right away to the moral domain, for the citizen is its fundamental unit, i.e.: John Doe. Point be: how to face characters like that of Norton's (and all it depicts, e.g., party system, rigidity, but ultimately, corruption) from the personal sphere of action, and impose a real 'changing tread'?

On the other hand, a non-organized action (or notion) could not have noticeable influence on the state of affairs, being disperse and accidental.

No organized movement could be an alternative to any other organized movement, being only the next step of social evolution.

The whole idea of organized movement, though in itself commendable, inherently accounts for the enforcement of status quo, rather than its dissolution, or (on a broader scope) reform of social reality. Solid conception, good to great production though not consistent all the way down to the end, certainly a must watch -better if thought about.Ī specious review will only be redundant, nonetheless, I do have a point, a doubt to be more precise.
