  Hum, certain?
  How do you do that?
  
  And yes cancer is all around, and curiously people just take it, without asking the question, why is it so?
  
  Life without love is a desert, but then why are most of us chasing money like mad.
  Sometime I really think the monkey is our parent.
  We are just some kind of animal..
  And in the end we really are.
  
  So now what film do you prefer among all the English films you ever saw...
  Two would be all right too......

    "Hum, certain?
    How do you do that?"
    
    You never can know, but if you've deteriorated over many months and the cancers are spreading, then I would have to weigh the chances of recovery against the loss of dignity and the increase in pain relief medication.
    
    
    "Life without love is a desert, but then why are most of us chasing money like mad."
    
    Love is something you can't chase Patrick, and it's impossible to have any control over whether you find love or not, so money is a far eaasier option to chase and those who have never loved can perhaps convince themselves that money brings happiness, security and respect.
    
    
    "So now what film do you prefer among all the English films you ever saw...

    David Lean's "Great Expectations".
    Monty Python's "The Life of Brian".
    
    Special mention also to 'Kes' and 'The English Patient'.
    
    
    
    Best Regards,
    Chris redmond.

      I meant " certain " about life after death, dear Chris...
      And NO " The English Patient " was a fake.
      After the second viewing I understood, the first time I thought like you.
      I had tears in my eyes....
      As for Lean I agree without any difficulties...
      
      Have you seen Hobson´s Choice ?

        > I meant " certain " about life after death, dear Chris... <
        
        I've only got personal, anecdotal evidence which will prove nothing to anyone, and although nothing is certain I'm convinced beyond reasonable doubt there is something else.
        
        If I'm right, death is nothing to fear, and if I'm wrong I won't be around wondering how I got it so wrong. :0)
        
        
        "After the second viewing I understood, the first time I thought like you."
        
        Some films were perhaps meant to be viewed once and the journey savoured, as once you know the destination there's no sense of anticipation.
        Then again, maybe it was a fake. :0)
        
        
        
        I saw Hobson's Choice many years ago but could do to see it again.
        The area where it's based, Salford, is only around 30 miles from where I live so I can relate to the accent, mannerisms and mentality.
        
        Yesterday it was announced that ten of David Lean's classic films have been restored to coincide with his centenery year so this could result in on or two finding their way into my home.
        
        
        
        Best Regards,
        Chris redmond.
