One of my favourite (favorite) movies of all time is called Miller's Crossing by the Coen brothers.

I have a huge amount of respect for the cinematographers and the directors.

The movie casts light on the deep questions of ethics whilst it's main character/s seem to come across as amoral. This brings to light one of my favourite and darkest aspect of the movie; the role of the anti-hero played by Gabriel Byrne.

In all it encompasses many of the negative aspects of humanity, greed, lust and envy to name a few. Unlike some movies of it's ilk, there are no real happy endings and no real redemption.

Things are just the way they are.

I've heard some great things about Miller's Crossing. I'll have to watch it one of these days.

The last film that really "wowed" me was "Downfall". Bruno Ganz was simply mesmerizing.

It's been a while since I saw Miller's Crossing.
Good flick, I need to rent it again.

0500? Are you nuts? There isn't nearly enough oxygen in the air then. I'll just stay in bed till 0830, thank you very much.

Miss Eerie, could you send a memo to Kim Yong Il that we'll start fighting tomorrow after oh-ten-hundred?
