You can't skip that part.Quote from: jet on Sun 12/02/2006 10:13:22What they say is not necessarily a lie, but keep in mind that some other professor in some other Uni may have written a thesis on the same theme with different opinions. I don't know of any, but writing contradicting books and handing them to students as exam material happens all the time in the academic world and that's what keep thinking students interested. They compare and decide. Well, they write what they must at the exam, but they can still disagree...
Don't forget that my teachers and the 80 students they lecture must be crazy too. No, sometimes things are just like as Christy Burns, prof. Verhoeven and I say it is.

I wouldn't be the first.
Simply put. Everything in film noir that isn't white, middle class, hetrosexual, male is bad.
I could say that the butler who doesn't think much of the main character in sunset boulevoir is german, therefore the bad guy. (spot the bad guy)
However, his german blood is unimpotant in the movie. (He's 99% American)
Yet it does explain why he acts in an "un-american" way (from powerfull director to lapdog). (Shag a german and women will rule the world, therefore destroy the family structure I.E. family values. Keep things American, die like a man, don't live like a lapdog)
