er and me... :And mine too: : :> My tuppeny worth : :I thought the film was almost awful. I'm glad they cut it down. God only :knows why such a lumbering primary school plot originally required over two :and half hours.
i guess its due to the fact that this was pretty early in the history of films and so there is quite a lot of 'dead air' so the film could be considerably shortened b y simply editing it a lot tighter to be more like modern films. :The feeble grasp of Marxism (in the 1920s for God's sake!) :is bad enough, never mind the saccharine "love conquers all" resolution. i would agree the ending is a little naive but why should lang have to make a marxist film simply because it is the 20s? while the film is about workers it does not mean it has to be a marxist film (in fact the fact the workers uprising was essentially a failure would suggest this was not langs intent.) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
