"You want the truth? You can't handle the truth!"
This is why Numb Nuts keeps changing the subject. He can't handle the
truth. "You want the truth? You can't handle the truth!" -- Jack Nicolson, A few Good Men, 1992. Excellent movie by the way. |

Excellent movie by the way. How can you use fiction, a screen writers script, as 'truth'? and expect it to be credible? It was the quote Paul, the quote. Have you seen A Few Good Men? Jack Nicolson's performance in it was outstanding. A cinema classic. |

Try Shakespea all of it is a stage writer's script (except for the Sonnets and an epic poem or two), yet his work is used to make, and accepted as making, millions of points on all sorts of human topics all the time. |

Ah yes... from The Tempest. Or perhaps from Coriolanus. |

I had to search for it and then checked out the review on IMDb. So I'm now pleased to report that I have a copy on its way. Thanks for the pointer! One I've watched recently is "Dust" A well made and clever movie imho. -- Nige Danton - Replace the obvious with g.m.a.i.l |

If you need another end of empire type film, there's "Battle of Algiers", of course. That too has a great performance by an actor apparently not known for playing military types. Jean Martin plays Colonel Mathieu, who is trying to put down the freedom fighters. Earlier he had played Lucky in the first French stage production of "Waiting for Godot."
