The Tunnel (1935)
Story is about a construction project to build a tunnel under the Atlantic Ocean from England to America
I was 11 years old in 1935, and an avid movie goer. I was absolutely fascinated by the idea of digging a tunnel from England to America, no more unbelievable at that time, than building a tunnel under the Channel from England to France which was actually begun by Napoleon in 1802 and completed in the 1990's. It is now over 70 years since I saw the film and cannot remember much of the detail except that the lead actor was Richard Dix who if my memory serves me correctly was the chief engineer. I don't know why it is referred as science fiction as many movies over the years have to do with construction projects, and I saw it as a real happening. Perhaps towards the end of this century it may be accomplished.
Ma mère (2004)
I found the film rather disjointed and poorly edited and did not understand the end
Where does the action take place, in Spain, one of the Spanish islands, the South of France etc?? Why did he in a rage fire the housekeepers? I did not understand the end. Did he finally have sex with his mother, or did he murder her by stabbing her? If so, why? When they carried out a body, was it hers?. What was the significance of some one in the hospital(?) getting a wash? Was it a morgue? When he was caught masturbating by the body why did he say that he didn't wan't to die. My understanding of the film would be much clearer if these points could be cleared up. Many thanks I welcome responses from anyone who can enlighten me on these points. Sheridanaj@aol.com
