Oops. Apparently you don't believe in your namesake's meaning 70 x 7! By the way, I still don't believe you, but that's not the same as saying you are lying. I think you just saw the ending and then said, "see I knew that it was it" now that you finally did know the ending. As for going to town for medicines in olden days, man are you weak with history. People in villages away from the cities frequently had to send away to the "towns" for medicines and doctors too!

Of course I do, but I'm not quite sure why you think it applies here. In some aspects of our exchanges I think you are in error, in others I know you are. I have tried to point those things out in my replies. I have also politely asked that you not substitute attacking me for refuting my points. You have not done so yet; at best you mix the two. I will not hold any grudge, but I will not continue this discussion much longer either. This is the last chance, not because I am angry at all, but simply because it is not profitable.

By the way, I still don't believe you, but that's not the same as saying you are lying. I think you just saw the ending and then said, "see I knew that it was it" now that you finally did know the ending.

Please stop mincing words. For your statement to be true I would either be lying or self deluded. I am neither. I even turned to my son early in the movie and commented to him about it. Believe what you want, but please stop attacking me in order to support weak arguments.

As for going to town for medicines in olden days, man are you weak with history. People in villages away from the cities frequently had to send away to the "towns" for medicines and doctors too!

Yes indeed they did, and white sugar, and windows, and nails, etc. but you conveniently forget that they HAD a doctor there. A doctor of that time period would have had the knowledge to concoct most all of the remedies needed to do what little was possible at the time (unless, of course, they had bigger leaches in town). It was their level of conviction that the "towns" had better medicines that made me suspicious and guess at the possibility they were in the present.

There are plenty of good solid exchanges from people who liked and disliked the movie (and lame posts too). Some posters, like Ichneumon and others, have caused me to reevaluate aspects of the film and consider its depth. They have not changed my overall opinion of the movie, but so be it. Your posts have not been of that quality and I have told you why. Please, either discuss the movie or just go away.
