| favourite film and why? Posted: 11/5/2005 9:17:12 PM | | My favorite film is "Gone with the Wind" starring Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh. This film portrays the crumbling and ultimate demise of southern society in America 1861-1865. Fittingly, the star Vivien Leigh was British born and bred, in the movie she personifies a British aristocracy in America that has to fail. At this time period in America, the southern society was a type of a transplanted British aristocracy, the system had to fall because American society could not continue with a Declaration of Independence in place and a slave system in place also, the two entities could not co-exist. Leigh herself is the personification of southern society, she does indeed fall, as portrayed in the film by her failed marriages. Yet the question whether the south, as well as Leigh, are permanently destroyed is left unanswered. Leigh's dramatic vow, "As God is my witness, as God is my witness they're not going to lick me. I'm going to live through this and when it's all over, I'll never be hungry again. No, nor any of my folk. If I have to lie, steal, cheat or kill. As God is my witness, I'll never be hungry again." is one of cinemas all time greatest speeches, and is also prescient of the south's actual rise and return to greatness. The south did rise again out of the reconstruction era, southern culture today is a dominant force in American society. | |

| favourite film and why? Posted: 11/6/2005 1:06:02 PM | | I also liked Saving Private Ryan, Lovely X. However, there were alot of technical difficulties with this film. In reality, the military would not risk a unit behind enemy lines in order to pull a private out of harm's way, the idea was a little bit too far fetched. There were other errors also, paramount in my mind was when the unit medic was wounded and Tom Hanks troops were acting like they did not know how to patch up the medic's wounds. These guys were elite Rangers, most likely trained by British commandos, you can be sure the real ones sure as hell know how to patch a wound. Anyway, the film was good in its portrayal of the finality of sudden death in battle. I was trying to figure out what producer's Steven Spielberg's ultimate message in the film was, I think since Hanks in the end was killed by the same German he had earlier let go, Spielberg's message was simply that in war, "do unto others before they do unto you." | |

It was so well made. The action scenes were great. The dialogues were awesome. The story line was beyond this world.. the the Wachowski brothers had to ruin it all with two sequels that did not hold any water to the original one. | |
