All this proceeds so naturally and effortlessly that one might misread the film as nothing more than minor light entertainment (although it certainly succeeds on that level).
But Tati is clearly after much more--a vision of spectacle, of dexterity versus awkwardness, of seeing versus being seen that carries the filmmaker's antielitism to the point of dissolving all distinctions between stars and stargazers, performers and spectators, accomplished acrobats and children at play.
It's a sign of this film's greatness that the enormous sadness that accompanies the final leave-taking of the circus interior is a good deal more than the conclusion of an unpretentious evening's entertainment; it's a sublime and awesome coda to the career of one of this century's greatest artists (1973).

Though there are important differences between the two books, Claussen's empirical discussion treats types of anti-intellectualism that can be traced directly to Hofstadter's work: religious antirationalism, populist antielitism, and unreflective instrumentalism, or the tendency to value thought only for its practical or material yield.
He finds antirationalism in the tendency of the media to play up the seeming "dangers"—such as loneliness, isolation, and depression—that await those students who engage in too much intellectual activity while at college.
Another major theme in media coverage of higher education is populist antielitism, which Claussen traces from the 1940s through today, a period in which colleges and universities experienced dramatic increases in the enrollment of nonelite students who were less prepared for college than their elite peers.

 PublicEye.org - The LaRouchite Secret Elite Synthesis
[1] Beginning in the 1970s, the LaRouchites combined populist antielitism with attacks on leftists, environmentalists, feminists, gay men and lesbians, and organized labor.
The LaRouchites set an example of how to package fascist ideology as maverick conservatism, progressive antielitism, or both.
In 1986, when LaRouche followers shocked the Illinois Democratic Party by winning the party primaries for lieutenant governor and secretary of state, other far rightists praised their efforts.

 "And These Are the Children of God": Fears of Homegrown Terrorism in Cold War America
Although the Klan declined drastically following scandals and internal battles, it revived intermittently in the following decades.
The editorial does not address cultural reasons for the Klans' persistence—historians have explored antielitism, fear of community domination by outside powers, and repugnance to modern, secularist morality as motivating factors in addition to white supremacy and nativism.
This is a portrait of the present and future generations of America’s would-be Master Race.

These situations have in America been the typical wellsprings of right-wing movements and, indeed, of right-wing extremism.
Conspiracy theories, as we have seen, need to feature an imagined high-powered intellectual core, capable of devious manipulation of the national mind.
The intellectuals were, after all (when they were not Jews, the elite, the college graduates--and even the Ivy College rather than the midwestern land grant college graduates--as distinct from the common man.

Tighter funding, changed attitudes--it's tough to run an arts organization these days.
Chicago-area arts administrators reflect on the new cultural climate: "There's a strong current of anti-intellectualism around these days, which becomes antielitism, and arts groups tend to be tarred with that charge unfairly.
There should be some recognition of the arts as a socializing force.

The radical-right theories were never synthesized more impressively than in Gary Allen's 1971 call to arms, None Dare Call It Conspiracy.
Mergiing nativist strains of anticommunism, antielitism, and "gold standard" conservatism, Allen argues that the Rockefeller-CFR-Establishment cabal - dubbed the "Insiders" - had toiled for decades to "abolish the United States" and establish an "all powerful world socialist super-state."
How did "the Rockefeller Foreign Office" keep unruly Moscow in line?
