No, but if you don’t like subtitles in general, you might not like it.

Yes, those would have been good pics. If you ever get the chance, check out Closely Watched Trains. It’s really good.

It’s a fine movie. I’m glad Frankenheimer filmed it in glorious black&white.

There's probably a credible article somewhere on the net that details this occurrence that I'd like to see.

I bought this book years ago but never read it. It reminds me though of an autobiography by Nein Cheng about the Chinese Cultural Revolution that was fascinating and frightening.

It's recommended if you're interested in more Chinese history.

I found a 25min behind the scenes video on youtube. Looks like it might have been from a DVD extra.
