Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsTwo errors in Canadianisms: 1. Judges were (and still often are) addressed as "Your Worship" and not "Your Honour". 2. One cannot become Ambassador to the Bahamas if one comes from another Commonwealth Realm, like Canada. Canada would have had a High Commissioner in the Bahamas at the time. Presently, for budgetary and other reasons, it only has a Consulate, managed via Canada's Jamaican High Commission.

Featured review
After Hemingway received the Nobel Prize for "The Old Man and the Sea" he was asked about it's many metaphors and their validity. Hem answered in words to the effect that it was true those symbols represented many things depending on what the reader brought to the sitting.
Well friends, this jeweled marvel is very much like a woman or sea, capable of bestowing or witholding great treasures! I just discovered it and now the world seems just a little less desolate, a little more comforting.
And why are we affronted by and attack those things we don't understand? The very best professional critics are guilty of the same.
Ok so I'm laying it on pretty thick but I'm trying make a strong point to the hosers. All I ask is that you please at lease skim a Wiki page before lending this, my new favorite film a discouraging rating.
