he said that is one way to interperate it.he did not flat out say it was a dream.even if he did u can always disagree with a director, though it is there vision. people do that all the time especially with paintings.(people say something contrary to what the artist says)
Pecisely, I like when things are opened, I don't like a locked interpretation. Many film lack this subtelty of ambiguity.
Can anyone answer me this. If Max becomes the U.S. Secretary of Commerce, how reasonable is it that neither Noodles nor Moe have any idea what the U.S. Secretary of Commerce looks like. I'm sure there are newspapers in Buffalo and in New York where Moe lives. There is no cable T.V., but there is network T.V. and nobody knows who Commissioner Bailey is.
True, you do have to stretch your imagination a little to see it as a dream. Of course Noodles couldn't know about The Beatles or Buicks. But I think SL was trying to show how part of American society developed and did it through this dream.Can anyone answer me this.

Do you know what the current US secretary of commerce looks like? If you do, you're in the minority, trust me
A month ago nobody would have heard of nor seen Scooter Libby, but since the scandal everyone knows who he is and what he looks like.
Sorry Hex, your #19 and my #20 were posted about the same time and we said basically the same thing.
Scooter Libby works (actually worked) for V.P. Dick Cheney. He's now under indictment by an independant prosecutor. He's involved in the "outting" of Valerie Plame, who was a spy for the CIA.
thank u for the news. not that i care much iam afraid to say. i dont watch the news ever. reality bores me.
Probably not the place to argue 'bout this but attitudes like this must be why the Bushs and Cheneys of this world keep getting power - 'cause we don't really care. Hex! Get up, get out!
