>I'm hoping this was a typo. Are you accusing over 7 million people of >being psychotic, in other words, out of touch with reality? I have heard >other people accuse New Yorkers of being neurotic, but psychotic? Come on. Laurence, I meant "neurotic," I guess. Sorry for my poor psychology background. Are you disputing neurotic, too? My point is that, based on Woody Allen's movies alone, and I have seen almost all of them, this is what one may come to believe, barring other information. A fascinating community? Yes, I believe that, too. I don't see a contradiction here. If you want a much broader context for a discussion, this is it: Does film affect out perception of places and people of which we have little or no experience? I think, cinematography is all about make-believe. That was the secret of its success, from "Intolerance" (I believe the oldest film I have seen) to "Jurassic Park." Aris [log in to unmask]
