Three Days of the Condor (1975)

A well-prepared lasagna is non-partisan. It nourishes, but does not prescribe. So does art that endures. The picture's occasionally redundant exchanges neglect the visual medium's potential, which, in best circumstances, renders horse riding about non-standard calculus more effective than talking about it.

Even though no one has ever said "can't sing; can't act; balding; can dance a little" about Fred Astaire, the myth is perpetuated on-line. That the Internet functions at all is a miracle commensurate with a functional democracy's functioning, which is brought about by loners, whose condition is an outcome, not a cause, of their brilliance.
