Скачать или смотреть The Quiet American (2002 Remake)

Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg wrote his Rhodes Scholarship thesis on the influence of Puritanism on American foreign policy as reflected in “The Quiet American,” Graham Greene’s 1955 novel and its two movie adaptations (1958/2002).

Not sure if this constitutes “fair use” (quite stretch, I’ll admit) but the purpose of this infringement is genuinely educational in nature, with respect to providing insight into the underpinnings of Buttigieg’s views on U.S. foreign policy.

To help contextualize the movie for you, here’s an excellent review from NPR on the book’s “disquieting resonance” which opens wonderfully...

“An American comes into a foreign place full of ideas of democracy and how he will teach an ancient culture a better — in fact, an American — way of doing things. An Englishman awaits him there, protecting himself against such foolishness by claiming to care about nothing at all. And between them shimmers a young local woman who seems ready to listen to either suitor, and certain to get the better of both.”
