And to have it also...Yes, that was powerful cinema. And to have it also coupled with her bewilderment - not knowing whether to go on hating him, or say thank you - that exchange of looks as she was led away. Shivers down my spine.Glenda Larkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10113271268122909969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22066416.post-1149286722546059842006-06-03T06:18:00.000+08:002006-06-03T06:18:00.000+08:00You didn't like the locksmith??

I would love to sit down and chat with you about the whole film...<BR/><BR/>I think one of the things I liked was the film's honesty - it didn't try to whitewash anything. The second thing I admired was the way nothing was black and white. There were no unflawed heroes; just ordinary people with a huge complex range of hang-ups, and just when you think you've got someone sorted out, wham, they show another side of their character.Glenda Larkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10113271268122909969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22066416.post-1149245128405080552006-06-02T18:45:00.000+08:002006-06-02T18:45:00.000+08:00I hope they listened!I remember the amazement of m...I hope they listened!<BR/><BR/>I remember the amazement of my daughter when she realised that the Yehudi she heard about in the school classrooms here were the same people as the Jews she heard about from me and read about in books such as "Anne Frank's Diary". Fortunately she managed to leave all that classroom crap behind her as she grew up.<BR/><BR/>Sadly the woman in the Tourist Bureau obviously did not.Glenda Larkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10113271268122909969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22066416.post-1149241071649295222006-06-02T17:37:00.000+08:002006-06-02T17:37:00.000+08:00will go see "crash" when i get the chance after yo...will go see "crash" when i get the chance after your recommendation<BR/><BR/>"naughty people"? i've met ignorance in my classrooms here - <BR/>one student when told about the holocaust actually said to me "what does is matter? they were only jews"<BR/><BR/>oh boy did i disabuse them of their prejudices!bibliobibulihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456636355933524132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22066416.post-1149197976241529942006-06-02T05:39:00.000+08:002006-06-02T05:39:00.000+08:00I must say I felt connected to many of the charact...I must say I felt connected to many of the characters - and worried incessantly about them throughout! They were so flawed and human. You mean to tell me you didn't care what happened to the locksmith and his daughter??<BR/><BR/>I don't think they show Due South here, although I could be wrong. And in Sabah we actually don't have a working TV in the apartment...Glenda Larkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10113271268122909969noreply@blogger.com
