I think you might be right regarding the parallels with Natural Born Killers, although the MBD is, I think, more dehumanizing... hard to believe. I think Tarantino should have his head examined. This world would be better without movie makers like him and Stone. We let our folks watch that crap and then we say we need education reform.I trust you the Teacher is good, and will keep an eye on it. But it is getting ridiculously hard to go see the movies. We are having the Phily Festival with 200 foreign films, and we are not going. Someone just has to patch the concrete and spread the mulch. We started watching the Ashes last night and felt too tired after 3 and 1/2 hours - and the Russian compaign has not even started yet. It is without a doubt the Polish War and Peace... as everything Polish it is smaller in scope. They speak 100 words per minute, and not just the beautiful Pola Raksa and Beata Tyszkiewicz, but the male characters too. Even worse, the subtitles are trying to catch every word, I can tell, as Polish is transparent in many places, and your eyes just can't keep up with images and that much text... quite frustrating. And many of the images are noteworthy, so it will be mandatory to watch it again some time soon. It is rough in places and shall not be considered among the best films ever made, but is interesting enough from many perspectives to warrant the viewing.
