what's striking to me about the principles (both men and women) is how
utterly boring and pathetic they are--i'm thinking that was Pasolini's
point--they can't tell a joke, they can't sing/dance, and they have no
imagination, they're just as sterile as the stories they recite and
listen to.  the violence is only a cover--fascism in a nutshell
