Dialogue with Redpill [4]
Hi Tim,The Passport photo, infant looked both young and old at the same time. The expression seemed regretful and retrospective, looking up to recall. This led me to think of a funny little film called Little Big Man - It was considered at the time of its release as an anti-establishment film, depicting the American Indians sympathetically and portraying the US military in a villainous light. Which was read by many as a comment against the war in Vietnam and even as a nation guilty of genocide.
