That onstage kiss was the sharpest bit of symbolic satire in the film. Both of them say in the post-interviews that they were caught up in "The theatricality of the moment." They actually said that. That kiss looked pretty real. (drool, drool.) The fact that they did it becasue it was expected showed just how exhibitionistic they both are, or were at that moment onstage. The pivotal moment, and a brilliant microcosm of what the film was saying.

There was lots of other stuff I liked, but it's late and I'm tired and I want to get back to my Atwood book.

MA, who finally saw it on Monday
