jeśli twoje dziecko najbardziej na świecie kocha filmy, a ty najbardziej na świecie kochasz swoje dziecko, to kup mu cinema speculation - w świątyni, rozdział 09:

Greetings was a sixties film that played like hippie notes from the underground. As many of the critics at the time remarked, it achieved an authenticity of a film made not just for a subculture but by it. In many ways, what Ragni and Rado did for Broadway by making Hair, De Palma and Hirsch did for film with Greetings. (..) While Martin Scorsese’s Who’s That Knocking at My Door barely received any theatrical release, Greetings, for an underground independent film, was just short of a phenomenon, especially in New York. It was the first film to star Robert De Niro, and it established both Gerrit Graham and Allen Garfield as two powerhouses in De Palma’s stock company. It generated a sequel, Hi, Mom!, that brought back De Niro, Graham, and Garfield, and added Jennifer Salt to the mix. But one of the things that turned on its late sixties film-savvy audience is the cheeky way young De Palma took Godard’s experimentation of film grammar (with a tiny sprinkle of Richard Lester) and played it for laughs. De Palma even engages in a full-scale spoof of cultural icon Blow-Up in the service of lampooning the Kennedy assassination conspiracy.
