I haven’t seen that making-of movie. So it’s good?

The studio wanted Edward G. Robinson instead of Brando for that role. Coppola had to fight for him.

When I was a kid in the US everyone read Great Expectations in school. They must have gone away from it.

I’m so shocked there isn’t more of a movement to unplug yourself from the internet for sanity’s sake. We are all so addicted.

Reply to comment by Jodorokes in Why don’t I, as a woman, like books with female protagonists? by out_cyder
Meh. As a white male I have only rarely read a book or seen a movie where I think that person is very much like me. Minorities seem to feel a lack when they consume media based on assumptions of how they think white people experience it. There are all kinds of anecdotes about people crying over a black superhero or whatever because they finally see themselves on the screen. The truth is (from my limited perspective) that white people rarely relate personally to the characters on screen or the page and that’s really not the goal for the reader or viewer. I would compare it to people who were adopted who feel they are missing out on something vital that every other child experiences and it’s just a false perception at its core.

Most counselors with no addiction history are worthless, so these are problems that just need to be dealt with.

Reply to In Return to Oz (1985) the nightmare fueled sequel to the Wizard of Oz, why do so many of the characters look completely different from the first film? by ilovemychickens
My guess is that the studio did not want anyone to think it was connected to ‘The Wiz’ made seven years earlier. That movie was a massive flop both critically and commercially.

That’s not true. There are separate listings for Amazon and Amazon Prime. Prime is always free.

It was released in 1958, but it really sounds like 1959. Way ahead of its time.

Read Greek and Roman literature. People are exactly the same as they have always been. Any differences are purely cosmetic.
