Someone made me view this picture on DVD. But the enclosure told that the screenplay was of Tom Stoppard. I acutely froze. I had seen his picture "Parades End". In this picture he lets a man who lives in a nearby hell choose for his "redemption" a fearless suffragette. My youth learned me that people who know no anguish or fear are a terror to themselves and the society thy live in. So, I watched the movie and the only emotion that came to me was disgust, very strong. I am afraid that Tom Stoppard ranks with Oliver Stone and (yes!) even with Harold Pinter. The DVD opens with a preview of "Les Miserables". It closes with the sentence "Live has destroyed my dream". That reminded me of another picture in which a man with a great bottle of whiskey in his hand says: "Live does this to us". I am afraid that live does not do this and people who give this utterance are moved by only one drive: blood thirst.
Enjoy.
Enjoy.
