A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.

Once again quoting people whose views, if uttered by anyone else on UP, you spew your lame 1920's buster keaton flames interspersed with swear words over? Are you trying to get into the guiness record book for laughable ignorance and hypocrisy?

Freddie Lee Cobb: You can't blame a nigger for being a nigger, no more than you can blame a dog for being a dog. But a whore like you, co-mingling with mongrels, betraying your own. That makes you worse than a nigger. I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll leave you tied up here naked. First, it'll just be bugs eating at ya. One day, maybe two. That sun's gonna be cooking you. And animals... they're gonna pick on your stink. They'll come looking for something to eat.

'Conan! What is best in life?

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women'

I prefer the original version of the quote.

â??The greatest happiness is to scatter your enemy, to drive him before you, to see his cities reduced to ashes, to see those who love him shrouded in tears, and to gather into your bosom his wives and daughters.â??

Genghis' version loses some of the humor though... and increases the creepiness
