But the young man in flashback gave her the pocket watches. On the one watch is she, but who's on the other? If Mortimer, than why? I buy two watches for me and for my wife, than it's illogacial when her brother's portrait is in... If the boy, than they are Mortimer's children.
How did Mortimer know, what happened? He came home and found them dead, and one of the watches is missing.

The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada - it come to the hungarian cinemas only now. It's a great film. It has very much "intertextual" connects from Antigone to Alfredo Garcia. Acting is very good (I fell in love with Julio César Cedillo  ), the story is simple, but great. Hard, naturalistic, absurd, poetic and a story of honour. I liked it. We needed more films like this, and not film with stars, shootin', boom!, monstas and sematic stories. I feeled I was seeing somethin' that Bloody Sam would have been liked...

I think they both are masterpieces. - In Yojimbo, when the hero is leaving the city in a coffin, one of the bandits helps the old man...  - In Yojimbo there isn't an armor...  - Ramón is much, much better and more sexy than the japanese bandit with a gun.  - Well, Mifune is greater actor than Clint, but the charakter doesn't need so much acting...he's just cool. - Yojimbo is much satiric, bandtis are ridicolous figures, FOD is filled with good lines, but the bandits are not caricatured... - In Yojimbo we haven't the cemetery scene with the dead soldiers.

Well, it's good, but a little overrated. I think, when Kane had not survived, it has been more shocking and much better. He could have killed the bad guys, right, but he should die too. (I hope it's clear. I have problems with the past form of the conditional mood.)

When they are leaving Angel's village, and the people are giving them flowers, that was stolen by that fat son of a bitch Peter Jackson. When in RotK Faramir and his men are riding out of Minas Tirith to battle, that's the same. But Sam did it much, much better... I love that guys. They're dirty and cold-blood killers, but they have honour and they know how to die like a Spartan. (300 is a big Peckinpah-stealing with "killing in slow-motion"  )
