You could argue that a German presence is an uncomfortable but necessary reminder that it wasn't all Glenn Miller and nice hats. Nostalgia is selective and tends towards the positive, but sanitising the nastier elements of history can lead to dangerous sentimentality. "I do get a little bit cross with the rose‑tinting: 'it was the best time of our lives'," says Goodman. "I think it was pretty darn grim."
Nog even en Westworld (1973) wordt realiteit, het verlangen ernaar is in ieder geval uitgerold.
Westworld pas weer 'ns gezien. Wat gedateerd inmiddels, maar indrukwekkend visionair voor die tijd. En Yul Brynner blijft cool.
