[speaker001:] so what movies have you seen lately
[speaker002:] well I saw um lately I've seen Soap Dish which was a uh that was a lot of fun it was kind of a silly little film about soap operas and things
[speaker001:] ah well see that's something I want to see that's on my list to see
[speaker002:] yeah yeah it was it was okay it was not um not a wonderful film but it was I mean it was it was cute but not the biggest laugh I've seen
[speaker001:] oh okay
[speaker002:] I saw Thelma and Louise
[speaker001:] oh did you
[speaker002:] a couple of days ago and really liked that actually I saw it twice because I liked it so much
[speaker001:] oh see that's also on my list
[speaker002:] and it's very it's really disturbing but a good movie
[speaker001:] a disturbing movie how do you mean
[speaker002:] well it was um let's see the um it's it's different it's kind of it's an action adventure kind of you know shoot them up kind of film but it's with women in it instead of men so that's kind of a
[speaker001:] right a switcheroo huh
[speaker002:] that's kind of a twist on the normal thing And it made me think a lot about you know you would applaud Bruce Willis in Die Hard if he was doing this but you might not be so
[speaker001:] right
[speaker002:] you know so encouraging of Susan Sarandon and Gena Davis when they do it
[speaker001:] when the shoe is on the other foot and see how it
[speaker002:] so that was kind of interesting I've but I really enjoyed it
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] so that was
[speaker001:] because that that just reminds me of you know like back in school and you know the girlfriends just taking off for a day or something just getting in trouble and probably not that much trouble but um yeah
[speaker002:] yeah that's kind of what it was right they had started out with that then they got into lots of trouble
[speaker001:] before we found the shopping malls that's what we did yeah well um I'll have to put that I'll have to keep that on my list then
[speaker002:] uh-huh yeah I also saw that Madonna movie
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] Truth and Dare and that was pretty scandalous
[speaker001:] scandalous
[speaker002:] yeah it was kind of yeah Madonna
[speaker001:] I can imagine
[speaker002:] she's pretty trashy so it was it was interesting
[speaker001:] I guess she does it for the social value of showing you what trash is huh
[speaker002:] right well I think she kept saying that uh they talked about her it it was a film of her concert um tour she had taken through all all around the world and they were all to her at the Vatican city and wouldn't let her perform in Rome and
[speaker001:] hm
[speaker002:] kept saying that her show was not garbage it had a social message to it and
[speaker001:] you just had to find it you had to wade through it and find it
[speaker002:] right we never quite believed that so
[speaker001:] you never quite got to
[speaker002:] I thought that was pushing it a little bit but she
[speaker001:] all I know about that woman is that she's an in incredible marketeer
[speaker002:] yeah she's rich
[speaker001:] yeah and she's rich and she you know so
[speaker002:] she's smart at what she does she knows how to do that
[speaker001:] she knows how to twist this around huh
[speaker002:] yeah so what did you think about Dances With Wolves
[speaker001:] well okay see we're getting back to last year that's probably the last movie I saw um Dances With Wolves I just adored it
[speaker002:] really
[speaker001:] how can I tell you um a couple years ago I guess well maybe ten years ago I I've read Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee and so you know just
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] the general theme of the whole movie was um pretty I mean I really liked it a lot I mean it was a real consciousness raiser I guess
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] um and I only bring up Wounded Knee because that was what ten years ago you read and and understood you know about the American pop Indian population and then everything went away for a couple years and now it's back again and you know it's
[speaker002:] right um-hum
[speaker001:] sort of a popular view of um what happened way back then of course no one will ever know really I don't know
[speaker002:] right I know I was I wondered if uh the tribes that they represented the tribe that was the the evil tribe if they were really as bad as they made them to be
[speaker001:] well who knows I mean it it it sort of showed like two different types of tribes like one was a warring tribe and the other one was uh vegetarian kind of you know feel good tribe you know sort of thing so there possibly were because you know you always have conflict in the world nobody can get along peacefully
[speaker002:] right um-hum yeah but I wonder I thought the because they made a big deal about how this this film was such a big leap for the the people who who were the ancestors of these this Indian tribe and that you know that was so wonderful that they done that and they uh I I wonder about how the ancestors of this warlike tribe if they were offended by the film if it
[speaker001:] oh I see yeah
[speaker002:] you know you didn't hear any press about that I thought it was a very interesting movie
[speaker001:] huh well I think so I um I have come to respect a little bit more the uh you know what went on here but but who knows how it's supposed to all end you know on the on the broad scope I mean
[speaker002:] right uh-huh right
[speaker001:] um like I said it it it had a much bigger thing I think meaning to me I think about you know just the meaning of um the freedom of this country and and what that really meant and that was taking over somebody else's freedoms and sort of trampling that and uh so
[speaker002:] right uh-huh
[speaker001:] you know it it meant something bigger I think but still it was a fantastic I loved the buffalo scene and and I thought Kevin Costner was just I got a little sick of his mug on the screen every three minutes but he's the director you know um but yeah I I just thought it was
[speaker002:] I know the
[speaker001:] a really interesting intense film intense I think is the word for it because three hours went by really fast
[speaker002:] well that's good that was that was it was it was good I looked at my watch only a few times which is a good thing but it put me in a really it put me in a really bad mood I don't know why yeah we did there were three of us who went we were just all grouchy really grouchy when it was over
[speaker001:] yeah ate a lot of popcorn did it really huh
[speaker002:] so we decided that may be the mark of a good film it made us think and so we were grouchy we felt guilty
[speaker001:] made you think maybe it well maybe that was um but there are no answers you know
[speaker002:] for being I know and we we had nothing to do with it we were not responsible but we still felt the thick blame for what had gone on we could have
[speaker001:] that that can make you crabby yes really that's true but it it's they sort of candy coated the western story for many years and um you know when the truth
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] oh well it always balances out one way or the other once you get the whole story but have you seen any other movies because you sound like you see a lot
[speaker002:] um-hum yeah well right I do I'm just out of school so I've seen a lot of
[speaker001:] oh okay
[speaker002:] I don't have a job so I shouldn't go see movies all th e time um I rented a good movie um called Cinema Paradeso which is an Italian movie
[speaker001:] oh there you go oh oh
[speaker002:] which is probably the best movie I've seen ever it was just wonderful it's a uh story about a little boy in a Italian a little Italian village and he um
[speaker001:] really
[speaker002:] owns a um or he works in a a movie theater and it it helps the projectionist there's a little oh an old man who's the projectionist and he befriends this old man and then it just tells about their friendship that lasts through all these years
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] and it's just I mean if you don't mind reading subtitles I thought I had to kind of get beyond that those little you know reading the little words at the bottom of the screen but um oh I just laughed and cried and
[speaker001:] oh I'll have to write that down
[speaker002:] I really loved it that was a a great one and other than that I
[speaker001:] wow have you have did you see Texasville are you into Larry McMurtry
[speaker002:] no I've had I hadn't I had read um The Last Picture Show and but that's out on video now and I haven't seen it but I was interested in reading Texasville before I saw the movie did you like it
[speaker001:] yeah um I I read a lot of Larry McMurtry books and Texasville is just like that it's like very peculiar circumstances and very peculiar
[speaker002:] right um-hum
[speaker001:] things that people do with each other it's it's you know and it's just sort of a
