It's actually that being hinted at that scares me. I can watch a horror movie without blinking because it's pure fantasy but as soon as there is a connection to reality, I break. But the movie has been sitting on my Netflix list for quite a while now and I made a vow to myself to watch it this year. Oh and I'm also quite 'imbued with Holocaust folklore', I'm afraid.
I would include Jaws rather than E.T.. Don't get wrong, ET is an exceptional film but Jaws wasn't a movie per se back in 1975....it was an event. It frightened people so much that they literally would not go in the ocean to swim. The only other movie I've seen that had that effect on people was Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho when people were scared to shower.
Great article, Eddie! You really added depth to what was an already emotional experience. The side stories are incredible -- I never knew Spielberg was in the film! And I know that Spielberg will get his wish -- E.T. and Schindler's are bound to be his most decorated and talked-about films!
If they are build in a manner similar to England's Dry Stone Walls, then the "mortar" is limestone chips and dust placed between the inner and outer walls. With almost constant moisture, it degraded over time and turned into something like mortar.
It is not that bad. The more horrendous parts of the Holocaust are only hinted at. Unless you are imbued with Holocaust folklore, you will miss quite a few of them.
Brother is a Latin scholar. He frequently has been asked to translate mottoes into Latin. Most of them turn out as well as North Carolina's. I forgive them.
Great article, Eddie!! Schindler's List is my favorite Steven Spielberg movie. It's so surreal. You feel you're right there and you can most definitely feel the fear and panic through the actors. I think the one actor who played his part to perfection was Ralph Fiennes. His portrayal of Amon Goeth was absolutely terrifying.
I watched Schindler's List about two weeks ago. It affects me so much that I can only watch it once, maybe twice a year. I always cry at the end when Schindler starts crying and apologizing for not "buying" more lives to save. Neeson does such a wonderful job. How he transcends Scindler from someone proud to be a member of the Nazi party to someone who shockingly discovers the truth and reality of the holocaust is outstanding.
Yeah, 'Why didn't he signal his lane change?'. This is obviously not happening in Toronto, where one badly-planned left turn can jam up an entire street for the whole morning, while the Emergency Workers diddle around, taking statements and eventually clearing the bent car. And... it reflects on the TTC driver's record, future raises and promotions, etc.
