Quote:</em></strong><hr>Is this not the sort of gleeful sneering I mentioned? Put a 'darling' in the middle and you have it exactly. It is a witty little thing to find that this film has the same legal disclaimer of every other film, I grant you.<br>
<br>
My point is that I can like this film without despising those who hate it. Though I disagree with Titus and Tim O'Neill, I can respect their opinions because it appears to be genuinely felt and well expressed. I think they are wrong, but I don't think they are idiots.<hr><br>
<br>
With all due respect, I disagree. I do not consider that one is "sneering" simply for recognising the unintentional humour in such a paradoxical situation. After so much grim and unrelentingly brutal action in a film, it would be almost a blessing to have something to laugh about.<br>
<br>
Why indeed should the very fact of such a simple, light hearted post, seem to suggest to you that the writer might not like the film? Or indeed, despise others, be an idiot or consider others to be so? Erudition and intellect can walk comfortably hand in hand with wit and lightheartedness - as well as emotion. One naturally can base a scholarly treatise on facts - I am no scholar; I cannot pretend to be - but I learn a great deal from members such as Tim, for whose opinion, clear, precise fact based writing and views I have an enormous amount of respect - but surely the emotions of the writer should be engaged as well in order to convey a point they feel passionately about - otherwise it would be deadly dull.<br>
<br>
I<br>
Incidentally, I'm curious - what SHOULD or DO they put at the end of a film which is based on "fact" other than that specific disclaimer? Perhaps someone can tell me.<br>
