Made on the heels of the more successful Mildred Pierce and based upon a similar but, in this case, true life story of Virginia Hill and Bugsy Siegel, The Damned Don’t Cry may, in my opinion, completely mirror the foundations of the entire American Progressive Movement and its increasingly racketeering vision of a Marxist New World Order.
It’s hard to know which approach to concentrate on more: the underestimated prescience of The Damned Don’t Cry or its immediate relevance to what is now going on and visibly falling apart within the Obama Nation.
One will inevitably overlap into the other.
Life imitating an art form which was initially imitating life is a wonderfully dizzying theme to savor.
I suppose the well-known Warren Beatty film about Bugsy Siegel might be the first place to start.
Bugsy was the gangster drama in which the real Virginia Hill, portrayed this time by Annette Bening, ended up dangerously involved with Bugsy Siegel and the internecine warfare going on between rival personalities within the same crime syndicate.
Tinged with the memories of the Bonnie and Clyde film that Beatty apparently had a hand in writing, Bugsy harkened back to the glory days of Warren Beatty’s first, heavyweight appearance as star/auteur.
Clearly an attempt to revitalize not only his stardom but his obsession with almost anything that rattles the cages of the American bourgeoisie, now known as the Tea Partiers, Beatty’s gangster fascination replicates not only President Barack Obama’s more controversial associations in a notoriously corrupt Chicago, but fulfills the President’s well-known admiration for one of the greatest of gangster films, Godfather.
I suspect the fascination of a film star for gangsters cannot be far removed from the illusions of a “community organizer” about Chicago hoodlums, Bertolt Brechtian screenplays, intellectual daydreams that attain Barack Obama’s goal of living in the White House as the biggest Godfather of them all.
If we jump back to The Damned Don’t Cry and Joan Crawford’s version of Virginia Hill and that character’s deepening involvement with not only racketeers but cold-blooded killers as well … hmmm … one leaps even further, to the Chicago “connections” which the Kennedy family had through bootleg whiskey, and the possible repercussions such “associations” might have had upon JFK and his Presidency.
This is not a plot thickening.
It is American Progressive History!
The eternal question, of course, is “Just how long can these people think they can get away with murder?!”
The American People have been getting away with legalized infanticide for 37 years!
Roe v Wade was passed by a bipartisan Supreme Court packed mainly with Republicans?!
Obviously the Political Syndicate wanted to addict the American People to legalized murder, training them to turn a blind eye.
It has had the miraculous effect of creating the kind of Congress that passed a Health Care Bill against the will of the American People.
“We’ll pass it first! Then let you read it!”
After America’s passive acceptance of Roe v Wade, can you blame the Progressives for their contempt?!
With both the Presidential Clintons and the Presidential Obamas as major cheerleaders for the expansion of abortion worldwide, the question of “how long these people can get away with murder” gets increasingly relevant, don’t you think?
Meanwhile, back at The Damned Don’t Cry, Joan Crawford’s bottomless desire to “get ahead” regardless of any warning signs … well … doesn’t this mirror the Obama Nation’s entire foreign and domestic policy, both of which seem bent upon destroying what once was known as America?
And why?!
The New World Order Syndicate!
If anything stands in the way of the Progressive Movement and its dreams for fundamentally transforming America, it is the Constitution and the American Declaration of Independence.
However, with those two sacred documents in the hands of Progressive Mobsters, a Crime Inc. that we elected, why did we possibly expect the future to be other than it is tragically turning out to be?
Now we, the entire human race, are all “Damned” like the once innocent Virginia Hill, and there’s no use crying over spilled innocence.
The damned don’t cry because they can’t do other than they have done and they share no regrets for the very same reason.
We’ll possibly be at it until it kills us all.
World War III is as inevitable as the final death of the tall, wealthy, bad guy in The Damned Don’t Cry!
Similarly the Progressive Fat Cats won’t be sharing a victory lap either.
They don’t know that because they’re all fans of Mao Tse Tung.
That Bad Guy, if you’ll remember, died a winner.
That’s how the Progressive New World Order’s Board of Directors thinks it’ll end: as winners!
Big, Tall, Short or Small, they all think it’s a “gimme.”
So did Bugsy Siegel.
