Daily Dialogue — February 23, 2016

“Your Majesty, we leave you with your people.”

— King of Hearts (1966), scenario and dialogue by Daniel Boulanger, idea by Maurice Bessy

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Oblivious.

Trivia: Cited by lyrics author and poet Horacio Ferrer as a direct influence in his masterpiece “Balada para un loco”, co-written with the great musician Astor Piazzolla.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Two levels of oblivious here. First, Charles (Alan Bates) is unaware the ‘townspeople’ he meets are escapees from the local mental asylum. Second, as the people head back to their home, they are unaware of the reality of the bloodshed all around them.
