Yo Troops!
Got another for y'all. I posted it about it before, but I don't think anybody saw it THEN. So here goes:
CARNAL KNOWLEDGE
This movie came out in the early seventies. It stars Jack Nickolson and Art Garfunkel (yeah, that's not a typo...I said ART GARFUNKEL. lol). The movie is about two friends and their constant quest to find women and understand the nature of relationships. It starts with their college years and ends with them in their forties.
Art plays the nice guy/AFC. Jack plays (what else???) the jerk/DJ. The whole movies is about how they both fluctuate between the two extremes of being a nice guy, or being a jerk. And along the way, WE can see clearly how well either choice is working for each man. And the results are NOT as obvious as you may think...
In this movie, you see almost ALL the techniques of PUA/DJism at work. You'll see C & F, push/pull, alpha male projection, negative hits, teasing, eliciting values, secret society (people who enjoy casual sex), shiit tests, AMOGing, etc,---you name it.
It's ALL there folks. And there is a lengthy specch that Rita Moreno (a prostitute?) recites for Jack Nickolson's character in the end that is EASILY as powerful, but MORE direct than ANYTHING you've heard in FIGHT CLUB. (which I also think is at least a great food for male-thought movie as well).
In that speech, the prostitute spells out the differences between men and women. Then she comments on EXACTLY the type of man that it takes to TAME a woman like her, AND make her lust for him!!!
Troops, this is some pretty "in your face" type stuff going on in this movie. A little extreme in their categorizations of men and women, but very thought-provoking just the same.
Brace yourself before you watch it. If you're a burgeoning DJ or a recovering AFC, you will be shaking your head in recognition, surprise, AND DISGUST at how accurately the portrayal of nice guy versus jerk behavior is.
You'll LEARN a lot.
I can't recommend THIS movie strongly ENOUGH.
PLEASE GO OUT AND RENT THIS MOVIE.
I would be VERY interested to hear opinions on the depth and truthfulness of this movie.
Peace...one day.
