I realize your post is 7 years old, and you will most likely not read my response.
Hopefully someone reads it.
I think the ending is really beautiful and hopeful.
I think they are both insecure people who became unhappy as they grew frustrated with each other, and that frustration led to feeling like weren't accepted by the other person, which led to their insecurities increasing and unhappiness increasing in a vicious cycle.
Clementine says there's no point in getting back together because they will just repeat what they did before which led to their breakup. She says what the undesirable conditions will be: she'll be frustrated with Joel because, he's boring, and he'll be frustrated with her because she's too impulsive.
But instead of saying, "you're right, these are reasons we shouldn't be together. I find you unacceptable if you're too impulsive, and expect you'll leave me if you find me boring- this relationship is doomed" he says this "ok". Which in my mind is saying, "we'll be unhappy with each other sometimes, and I accept this. I love you, I accept you as you are, I know that you'll drive me crazy sometimes, but I accept all of that and still want to be with you. And I trust you feel the same way about me. I accept you and am willing to be accepted by you, even when we both know each other's faults."
And that to me is true love. No one is perfect. No one is a perfect spouse. If you love someone and can commit to them, then your marriage can survive anything.
As they restart their relationship, it will soon go the way they predicted. She's impulsive, he's boring. But as long as they accept each other, they will survive.
Source: married for 21 years, saw the movie in year 3 of marriage and changed my views on acceptance and commitment.
He lived in Utah and was a a Boy Scout.
Just sayin...
I thought this post would be about Indy's gunshot that he shrugged off for 30 minutes of runtime before they said it would kill him if he didn't get "medicine".
Peter never had a Walkman in the comics. I'm sure he got one after the movie came out, but that was something invented for the movie.
I guess it's just agree to disagree.
I've liked them all less than the previous one.
I loved 1. Liked but didn't love 2. And I left 3 feeling let down.
But I seem to be in the minority. You'll probably love it.
Floating is different.
Floating is a question of weight of a thing (roughly a 3D measurement) and the weight of the displaced water (definitely 3D). If the displaced water weighs more than the thing, it floats. 3D vs 3D- so it scales.
But pressure is different. As I explained above- pressure is force/area. And where force is a product of mass or weight, then it's 3D/2D. At a small size, like the one inch cube, the force is 1 "mass x gravity" / 1 square inch. Which equals a pressure of 1 mxg/in2. If we double the length of the cube, then it's 8 mxg / 4 square inches, or 2 mxg/in2- double the pressure. If we 10x the length, we 10x the pressure. That might sound like it scales, but it doesn't. Pressure is already a ratio, so if it scaled it would stay at 1x. Not only are the square inches getting 10x'd, but the pressure for each square inch is 10x'd.
All of this is admittedly silly on the Dune message board.
Complaining about the physics of the sandworms is similar to complaining about sound or explosions in space, or the way X-Wings fly. If you're going to do that, then movies are probably just not for you.
I wondered this too.
They moved to CA in 1964.
A generation of post war kids at high school, and he immediately ran into violent antisemites.
I grew up in the 80s (my grandpa fought in the war) and it was clear to me that the Nazis were both the bad guys and terrible antisemites. Antisemitism and Nazism were equivalent. Seems like that should have been even more clear to the kids of WW2 soldiers, but I certainly don't know.
There was no antisemitism in Phoenix but there was in CA? Why? Everyone was tall and golden in CA... cuz it was closer to the beach? And all of those Adonises made 5 foot nothing Fableman stick out more? I don't know.
Maybe...
The movie shows two raging antisemites and maybe it's not trying to say that was CA vs AZ... But I thought that was what it was trying to say.
Maybe it was actually just a more affluent area- people too rich and too tall and broad of shoulder to be nice?
I don't doubt that Spielberg experienced something like this in CA. I'm just trying to understand if he's saying it was a cultural difference between AZ and CA or not. Or just a few bad eggs that he had the misfortune to fall in with, and that happened to be in CA.
I was very uncomfortable.
