and everyone laughed at the end when they hugged with romantic music
good times
Hmm...John lennon's "Imagine" wasn't really a romantic song. It was written as a protest against the Vietnam War. But yes, director Roland Joffe did comment that it was a "love" story...though they were not homosexuals or anything
shareObviously a perceptive bunch, who have the sensitivity of a water buffalo and the keen insight of a toadstool. If you want a REAL chuckle, rent "The Diary of Anne Frank" or "Schindler's List". Both are LAFF Riots! Nah! Bad idea. Just Stick to "Saw" and "Hostel".

Obviously a perceptive bunch, who have the sensitivity of a water buffalo and the keen insight of a toadstool.What do you expect if all they do is sit around watching movies in class instead of actually, you know, learning stuff?
On the "Caligula" board when I another poster and I challenged some of the history of the film, one GENIUS actually asked. "Like, how do YOU know what happened thousands of years ago?" I told him I read it in a comic book! Because, it was obvious that he couldn't buy, steal, or rent a clue!
hey i saw this in history class too just a few days ago! we laughed at the scene where pran finally reaches thailand and the camera does an awkward zoom in on his face. besides that, it was a great movie. i cried at the end!
shareWhen the kid died from the Mine....that was sad but it was a good movie...
LOL "Romantic music"
Seriously, I would have given this movie a 10/10 if it weren't for the ending. It was extremely cheesy and "feel-good" and, as much as I love "Imagine", it was a horribly inappropriate choice of song. Other than the ending, I thought it was brilliant- when I thought it couldn't get any better than the Cambodia scenes we are taken to an interlude and quickly plunged into a grim Orwellian reality. Chilling. I was just dissapointed with the ending (and I too watched it in a Social Studies class, by the way).
matus92, I couldn't disagree more, "Imagine" was a perfect choice of song if you ask me. I don't know exactly how much of it was true, but you can't exactly change the ending of a true story... but if you ask me Imagine was perfect, both just by the sound of it, and the content of the song itself.
shareObviously, you were a 14-year-old boy in that history class . . . and still are.
You probably should have paid more attention in English class, too.
