[EX Q]: It's supposed to be funny - and it is! . Being Scottish, maybe I'm biased but this is a brilliant, laugh out loud funny , film. I looked at its reviews on the US Amazon site just to see what the Americans made of it - especially the accents. They're really not that "thick" as many reviewers state - I think even viewers from England understood them.  Also, Trainspotting is intentionally funny; our sense of humour is not the same as yours though. Don't even think of reading the book if you found the accents unintelligible - its full of colloquial Scots (not Scotch - thats the drink).Theres also many even more gruesome scenes in the book than in the film.
[EX A]: POS

[EX Q]: The Capriciousness of Life . Rarely has a film drawn me in so deeply that I remain affected days after I viewed it. "The Son's Room" is profound in its ability to create its moods especially in the latter half of the film. I feel that the director's presentation of this happy family, in the film's first half, is what allowed me to feel the result of an impending tragedy so personally. I kept thinking that I wanted everything to go back to the way it was before. I  shared their grief as if it was my own.   I also applaud the presentation of an Italian society which is unlike the comic opera Italian experience presented in American films over the past decades going back to the silent era.  The film may not affect you as deeply as it affected me, but I highly recommend the absorbing story that is presented.

[EX Q]: Kurosawa's modern crime drama . Crackerjack suspense yarn by Kurosawa based on the novel KING'S RANSOM by Ed McBain. Toshiro Mifune plays a rich industrialist distraught at his board of directors who want to make a shoddy product (shoes) for a bigger profit; he mortgages everything he owns to raise the money to buy the company and continue to make a top-quality shoe.     But then his son is kidnapped and a huge ransom demanded, only it turns out to be NOT his son who was kidnapped but the boy he was playing with at the time, his chauffeur's son. He's faced with a moral dilemma: should he pay the ransom anyway and be ruined financially, or not? He decides to pay and get the boy back; then the police go to work to catch the kidnapper.     At this point the movie becomes a fast-paced police procedural. The kidnapper's motive for committing the crime is not just for the money but to make the rich suffer. Mifune is ruined at the end, but public support is behind him. It's a great crime drama; only near the end when the chase takes the police into the seamy side of town does the pace lag a bit. What I found most fascinating was how differently the Japanese police handled the case from the way American police might - so much more compassionately. Definitely worth a watch
