Subject: RE: BS: Favourite films and why
Black Robe-Bleak, real, and portrays the arrogance of the church in trying to tamper with a culture every bit its equal.
Rob Roy-A great tale of Scots the way my mother would have me know them, except she's more sympathetic towards Robert the Bruce. Love the dead cattle beast scene.
Moulin Rouge-Stunning anachronisms, music arrangements, costumes, and Nicole...oh la la!
Last Of The Mohicans-Bastard white people fucking up relations with perfectly good cultures, great scenery, good acting except maybe DDL and even he rises to the occassion.
The Commitments-This band could have been any number of bands in my younger days except none were as good. Both bleak and hopeful, I especially like how they discover the requirement for "garage band solidarity" the hard way. Good tunes too.

I don't like going to the theatre much but it sure was fun to break with habit and see Farenheit 911 with a room full of people who apparently thought it was as surreal as anything ever shown.

Peace, Mooh.
