Review of Mitty (based on 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty') 2013 movie

Rae West - 21 September 2023

Strange, self-referential film on employment, Time & Life magazine building, and the vast number of employees driven to worthless work by Jewish money power. But it was advertised as "A wonderfully feel good film" and "Inspirational" by two Jewish media outlets.

'Iconic image' illustrative of the trash given to, and accepted by, dumb Americans

Ben Stiller appeared to have been a genre actor in comedy; no doubt he went to acting school and got adequate grades. It takes a lot of publicity to establish supposed comics, so a lot of work is put into it; it's a similar process to establishing people in the Jewish music industry.

The reason I'm reviewing it is that it looks at LIFE magazine, and mourns for it, rather than taking the robust view of being pleased that it went the way of all flesh. (I'm assuming the plot—shifting LIFE onto Internet—is roughly true. There are many scenes of foyers, Time-Life Building with its just-before-1960 date, men and women in suits walking as though they had their own purpose in life.) The Walter Mitty elements (Stiller perhaps goes catatonic while living through daydreams) is completely unlike older versions, though probably has psychological similarities, which might be examined by media students. The numerous credits give a Thurber short story as the base. I haven't attempted to trace the ownership & control aspects; the film says it is 20th Century Fox, and a Sam Goldwyn film (with a facsimile signature), and directed by Stiller, with some producers, the tame word for financiers with paper money.

The ending shows Stiller hand-in-hand with perhaps a shiksa—the scriptwriter of course avoids all realism. It also shows a final cover: final issue: dedicated to the people who made it . This is hard to square with the disclaimer: ... the events, characters and firms depicted in this photoplay are fictitious.

I may as well quote verbatim from the end of the film, not normally listed but included as name padding, which lists huge numbers of people, who, as with 'Life', could find nothing better to do than labour as propagandists, or whatever the Jewish word is, in these lie factories.

THE MAKING AND AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTION OF THIS FILM SUPPORTED OVER 15,000 JOBS AND INVOLVED HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF WORK HOURS (shown in about the final 5 seconds).

I'd guess by 2015 Time/Life took the opportunity to dump a lot of their 'workers'. I'd guess they were rejected like old 'veterans' after wars against other 'goyim', perhaps waiting for new Jewish schemes, in the way unemployed Americans in the 1930s queued up to do overtime to make weapons for Stalin.

Anyway, sad stuff, though I was amused by the few scenes of Stiller controlled by erasable wires as he pissed around with skateboards. There were a couple of placements: E-Harmony promoted, no doubt another Jew start-up. Nabisco was mentioned. There was a Greenland (or Iceland?) theme which I moved through, hoping they don't get f*cked by Jews.
