Question bout alex's family

Rating: 7/10 (5 January 2005)

I love this film. It is on in the UK right now. I loved it when i was at university but it has always bothered me that the film never explained whether she had parents or not. Was she an orphan? It also seemed a bit odd that at 18 she was a welder.IT is a skilled job. How did she get that job as a girl at 18!! and 20 yrs ago!! And the rest of the male workers seemed to accept her .. which I find hard to believe. Their must have been a lot of male chauvanism in that environment. But then it is make believe and I should not be such a cynic! Plus who was the actress or dancer who did the amazing dance with the black mask on who seemed to be made of elastic and danced to "Manhunt'?
