Although it has been said to be a terrible adaptation of the book, _Bonfire of the Vanities_ has a take on classism, among the many isms that it deals with. Hope this isn't redundant. Mattie Campbell ------------------------------------------------------------------- We too often think(still taking our model from the stage) when writing for film that we are primarily concerned with people speaking. But, as Wolf Rilia, a British writer/director points out, "Houses speak, trees speak: a gesture, an expression passing over a face, the visual texture of a shot: a cloudscape, a man sitting in a pool of lamp light, the sound of footsteps, a door creaking: a viewpoint, an angle of vision, the sensation of movement, stillness, immobility." Films speak a language called "Picture." Mattie Campbell <[log in to unmask]> -------------------------------------------------------------------
