ABCs at the Movies: The Doubles Round!

From the screenplay:

EXT. JUNGLE - DAY                     69M

   Still following the faint RINGING, Grant and Eric turn to find

   A SAIL

   moving through the low trees. We recognize it as the back of a
   spinosaurus. We might think it's any random spinosaurus,
   except for the RINGING coming from somewhere inside it.

   Grant and Eric press back against a tree, keep perfectly
   still as they hear the THOOOOMB, THOOOOMB, THOOOMB of the
   creature's footsteps reverberating. It's tail RUSTKES against
   the brush.

   It's moving behind them, and it's close.

   We hear the RINGING move from left to right as it passes. So
   far, its has no idea they're there.

   Looking across the clearing, Eric is startled to see

   PAUL AND AMANDA

   are no more than 20 yards away, also hiding. An involuntary
   reflex, Eric calls out...

            ERIC
      Mom! Dad!

   Grant immediately covers the boy’s mouth. But it's to late.
   The dinosaur has stopped. We still can't see it. We don't know how
   close it is.

   Paul and Amanda spot Eric with Grant. They're a thousand
   emotions at once: relieved, disbelieving, terrified, overjoyed.
   They want to run to him, to yell out to him, but the monster is
   close.

   Grant takes his hand off Eric's mouth. They both stay
   completely silent.

   All this time, the sat-phone is RINGING.

   Than it stops.

   And after an agonizing beat, the beast moves. At first we're
   not sure which direction it's headed, but finally we can tell
   its moving away.

   Once the sail is finally out of sight, Eric breaks from Grant's
   hold and dashes to his parents' arms. They coop him up. Hug
   him, kiss him, their affection unquenchable. He's crying.

From IMDB: "KISS" is an experiment in mood, a study in sensuality, and an erotic poem that captures the intimacy of three gay male couples as they kiss. Set to the stirring music of indi artist Marc Manning, 'KISS" is a simple, yet visceral short work that is a positive and moving expression of gay passion.

Is Kiss available on DVD ?

From www.filmsite.org:  In the third of MGM's popular and profitable Jeanette MacDonald/Nelson Eddy films, unrequited lovers Paul Allison (Nelson Eddy) and Marcia (Jeanette MacDonald) sang the film's magnificent "Will You Remember?" ("Sweetheart, Sweetheart, Sweetheart, Though our paths may sever, To life's last faint ember, we will remember, Springtime, love time, May") on a path showered with flower blossoms;they kissed after he confessed: "I love you. I always loved you. And I always will."

From www.filmsite.org:  In one of the most romantic performances ever filmed, in an extended scene of budding romance, the film captured the sensuous and electrifying romantic interplay between rich girl Angela (Elizabeth Taylor) and poor boy George (Montgomery Clift) at a dance; in a sensual series of full-face closeups as they danced together, George finally confessed his love to Angela... and breathlessly Angela began to confess her love for him in kind; on the balcony during powerfully erotic moments, their enormous, extreme closeups filled the screen as they revealed innermost, heightened emotions and inflamed passions and pledged themselves to each other. They closely embraced and kissed passionately, caught up in an all-consuming relationship over which they had no control.

Plot:   Over the years, a child's romantic ideals about death blossom into necrophilia, the study of embalming and the most profound relationship of her life.



==Comment==
A feel-good film featuring necrophilia!   It's actually a good adaptation of We so Seldom Look on Love, a short story by Barbara Gowdy,  easily my favourite Canadian writer, I just love her work.
