Thanks for the little "test", Big Boy, but I still have to disagree with you on certain fronts. Believe it or not, I have watched this movie more than once. I certainly don't think it is a literal interpretation of the book. IMO, the film deals with issues involving both sentiment and emotion, as well certain aspects of the Irish people (wryly observed by Huston the Irish-American). I am part Irish myself, and I love the Irish people but I have seen certain things with my own eyes. I have talked to Irishmen who feel the same way I do about this film. Finally, I have hard time understanding your use of English at times. Nevertheless, you often seem to talk as if you have already seen everything there is to see in a movie. If that is indeed what your are doing, then it is the epitome of "stupid".

" I like the film but I can't stand to watch it ". Now it is " More than once " is this duality pure masochism?

"Too Irish for my tastes ". Don�t you like yourself?

Now it is bad very bad to mix your aggressiveness with a good sense of criticism as far movies goes.

And no, I am no oyster, I am keeping alive to learn through others people eyes and mind.
Now when it come to more " intellectual " words in English I am in jeopardy, beside the fact that in any language the simpler the more intelligent it is.
That is the quintessence.
Think Flaubert.

  It's common logic: I would have to watch a film carefully before I would have the right to say, "I can't stand to watch it." Think 'Clockwork Orange'. Think "lidlocks". And, of course I hate myself - it's the Irish part of me that I will probably never shake off. And finally, remember me not as the aggressive guy but as the guy with the passion-based morality. Think D.H. Lawrence - who also seemed to dislike James Joyce. Good-bye!

    Nobody.
    
    It was a kind of pleasure.
    Take care.
