great imagery

The better flicks have visual images that stick forever in your brain. This one has three:
1- the scene where Burt is fighting with his wife with the cigarette fumes flaming out of his nostrils
2-the crane shot when Burt is alone in the L.A. Colosseum.
3-the crane shot settling in on Burt after he kicks the football to the boys in the hood
also, at some point in our lives, don't we all have Charles Bickford narrating some individual triumph of ours??? I have nothing against Morgan Freeman, who is an excellent narrator, but I wish that Charley had lived long enough to do "March of the Penguins"
