I was wondering. Thanks. (Good thing you saw it alone!) Why alone, lol? Because I was the only one in the theater who laughed out loud when the guy slits his throat? That was one of the dumbest things I have ever seen. So did you see it, Chuck?

lol. Maybe I have to see this. What's it about? www.sonyclassics.com/cache/main.htmlRead the synopsis, but it makes it sound interesting. Basically it turns out that when he was six years old he was mean to an Algerian boy {hence the political message}, boo hoo, and it may or may not be the Algerian freak now in his fifties who is sending him the tapes and messages or maybe the Algerian's son, or maybe the French guy's own dumb ass son. The mystery is never solved. It's so.............mysterious. You decide. Everyone in the film acts in an improbable and dumb ass manor. It is idiotic left wing guilt drivel. Save your money and don't see it.

No, but this one really tries to ram home a political message in an unsubtle way. I mean what happens in the film makes no sense outside of being a political allegory so it made me particularly angry.

OKay, I had a long talk with a friend of mine about this film. I hate it and he likes it. Basically I can agree that the tension between the wife and the husband is well handled in a cinematic way....it is well directed. But nothing can save it from being a hopelessly improbable political allegory for me.
