"I think any movie that tells you that Lesbians deserve to die is sickening. What are they trying to tell?" It's SO clear that the movie is telling us that it's the society's view of homosexuality that is wrong, NOT the fact of being gay. You really think a lesbian would kill herself in 1961 if everyone around were okay with this? It's the bigotry of the society that is detrimental to itself, not the homosexuality of a percentage of its people. Republicans are working hard to bring the society back to this horrible state, but, fortunately, the world is (very slowly) evolving. How to not understand a movie in 4 easy steps... Just one, for fun : "The little girl just happened to spread the a lie / rumor that was actually true?" It wasn't true because Martha never had any sexual relations with Karen. Doesn't change the fact that Martha IS a lesbian, and is in love with Karen. Watch the movie again, she was a lesbian. The first real investigation about Abagnale exploit has been published rather recently. And, yeah, it's 98% bullshit. https://www.amazon.com/Greatest-Hoax-Earth-Catching-Truth/dp/1736197401 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Abagnale#Veracity_of_claims Yes. It's become clear since 2021 that Abagnale lied about his lies. Lied about his exploits. Lied about everything. Spielberg, Johnny Carson, and the rest of us have all been fooled. Funny, I thought that the first third was the weakest part. The last 85 minutes are a pure masterpiece. Verhoeven has been very clear that it was HIS choices for the character. Not EB's fault at all. It's considered by some as THE VERY BEST <i>film noir</i> of all-time... not too shabby! https://www.pastemagazine.com/movies/the-100-best-noirs-of-all-time/ Thank you, person posting on a another site, 8 years ago :) Fascism is inherently right-wing, so there's a problem with your "analysis". This scene was something else. Very surprising. Probably helped the Hays Code being finally enforced. 42nd Street, all the Busby Berkeley's, and all the Fred Astaire movies are real musicals. You're thinking of "integrated" musicals, which became fashionable after the success of Oklahoma!. "Wilkins observes all the customs and traditions" Lacing Halloween candies with cyanide is tradition? I don't think so. I just check with the subtitles file (.srt), not joking. Charley = 95 occurences This one? https://i.imgur.com/1pu1fXj.jpg Racism is an effect of ignorance and, often, plain stupidity. You are mad because the vast majority of black people is smarter than you. Go back to your Qanon friends. Yeah, ok... It's now becoming very clear to me that this site is populated with alt-right nuts. Qanon types. Maga freaks, etc. "We all know there has to be some truth to the rumors." lol, it's always the dumbest people that think that they know more than everyone. People all over the world, like me, laugh at what the USA has become since Trump made millions of them proud to be racist imbeciles. The world is evolving. Your kind is gonna die out eventually. It'd really like to have some examples of that, please. It's one of the weirdest scenes in any musical. "just a nice older man" lol, he was 33 years old
