Consider this...How far do you have to travel from LA to reach someplace
where the _OFFICIAL_ language is not English.  How far can you travel from
Berlin where the official language of that place does not change.

Now consider how badly most foriegn language films are translated, either in
the subtitles or re-dubbing.  (example:  The dubbing in La Femme Nikita)

Most educated Europeans have an understanding of at least one other language 
due to proximity of 'foriegn speaking' countries on thier borders.  Many
speak with a high degree of fluency, and therefore are able to get a great
deal more out of the film than if they did not have to 1) pay more attention
to the words on the screen than the action on the screen and 2) suffer
through the ommisions and poor syntactic and connotative representations
of the dialog in their native tounge.

The dual literacy rate of the USA is appallingly low in the mainstream in
part due to apathy and arrogance but more due to the less pressing need to
be multi-lingual.  

And because so much is lost in translation (again, La Femme Nikita is a 
good example of this...I saw this film subtitled with a native speaker
doing simultaneous traslation in my right ear.  The differences were
readily apparent and surprising in number) it is not so much that the
films lack merit as some of the merit is lost by not understanding all
of the shadings and idiomatic phrases.

I find that personally I would rather see Spanish cinema than French.  I 
may not have conversational command of the language, but I have to rely
somewhat less on the subtitles in the Spanish films and therefore can
spend more time watching the film, not just the words.

I heard somewhere that the fields were in Washington.


I'm sorry to hear the criticisms people have posted of this show.  I
was very pleased with it.  The 'battle' did get a little drawn out I
admit...but I found the rest of the movie very captivating.  I have
the soundtrack, and spotted Peter Gabriel's name buried in its credits.
Unlike many soundtracks, this one doesn't omit songs that were so 
great in the movie (a la Pump Up the Volume!).

I suspect that the same people who whined about Williams being so
restrained by his character in this movie would also whine about 
his character being another typical Robin Williams character if 
he *did* go all out.   (did that make sense? :)

When I go to a movie, I just wrap myself up in the story...I don't
take an imaginary notepad so I can remember what I *didn't* like. 
Then again, for the most part I have been able to avoid movies I
wouldn't like, because I've rarely been disappointed with my 
open-minded approach.

I felt the same way about "The Fisher King".  Actually, I thought it was a

I'm in a dilemma over 'Repossesed'. I hate to miss a Zucker movie, especially
one with a good rating. However, I can't take the Exorcist style movies. I
rented 'Dark Side of the Moon' a while back and had to turn it off as soon as

Yes, but "Kriemhilds Rache" is not a *numbered* sequel--it is not

Dolby Digital (or Dolby SR-D) is a 35mm sound process only. 
Dolby currently has no plans for 70mm digital prints. They are selling SR-D 
as 70mm quality sound on 35mm prints.

Cinema Digital Sound (CDS) started on 70mm and was used on 35mm prints after 
ORC worked the bugs out of the CDS system.

Why, Jean, I'm surprised at you.  Obviously women have been conditioned
by the media and social pressures to be subordinate in all things and to
sacrifice all to be cooperative and supportive and great communicators,
and men have been conditioned to be evil, sexist, authoritative, selfish,
brutish and competitive.  And the problem is that all the positive things
in men and the negative things in women are conditioned, while the negative
things in men and the positive things in women are innate.  At least that's
what my PC dictionary says.  That's why there are so many lecturers around
doing the charitable work of straightening men out and helping them "get
it" at absolutely no profit to themselves.  And there are lots of people
who suffer great pain all the time, but need other people to show them
how unhappy they really are, because they they have this weird delusion
that life and other people aren't really out to make their lives a living
hell and aren't all evil.

I personally have my head straight, and know the evil intentions of the
Great Conspiracy against me.  And if you disagree with anything I've said,
then I'll know you're Evil, too.

Hope this helps.

It is the second feature film by director Hal Hartley, the first being the
rather wonderful, "The Unbelievable Truth". "Trust" is similar in
style to that film, and stars the same lead actress (Adrienne
Shelley) but is less "light" and more cynical than its predecessor.
Mind you, I still love it. Hartley has a unique style that has to be
seen to be appreciated - it's hard to describe. His films (which he
also writes) have a fascination with wordplay that make the films
worth sitting through more than just the once.

I suggest you hire (if you can find it) "The Unbelievable Truth" first,
then "Trust". The latter is available on Republic Pictures Home Video.
It's also on laserdisc.

Hartley's new film, completed quite a while ago, is "Simple Men", which
should be showing in the US by now. 

Robert Burke, who stars in both "Unbelievable Truth" and "Simple Men",
took over from Peter Weller as Robocop in the forthcoming (still!) Robocop
III.


>Did it ever come out in the theaters?

It did here in Australia... :-)


Hope this info helps, and I hope you find and enjoy the movies.

Summary: What did the ending mean?
Keywords: Vague, uncertain, up-in-the-air

I just finished watching the movie Radio-Flyer.  Not only was this
movie not at all what I thought it was going to be, I was left feeling
cheated of a well resolved ending.  I can think of three ways to interpret
the end, listed below. What I would really like to know is what the 
author of the script meant for me to get from the ending.  If anyone
has any insight into the true intentions of the author, please let me know.

My thoughts:

1) There was only one child in the family! Mike and Bobby are one in the
same child, with Mike having assigned his treatment to a separate 
personality. This would explain Mike's freedom from abuse, Older-Mike
being the owner of Sampson the turtle and the symbolism of his having
his "brother" wear his jacket on his flight.

2) Bobby died and was never found in the crash.  To keep his promise to
Bobby to take care of their mother, Mike has sent postcards to his mother
ever since. Hence the burden of a promise.

3) The story teller is Bobby, masquerading as Mike these many years later.
That's why the story teller has Sampson the turtle that left with him
on the flight.
