--- Quote from: jmmgallagher on January 29, 2008, 01:47:59 am ---Both My Beautiful Laundrette and A Room with a View opened weeks (if not days) apart in early 1986 in New York (View was in the Paris Theater across from the Plaza). Twenty-two years later, I cannot remember which one of the two films I saw first, but I do remember the 'O' I made with my mouth when, half-way through the second film, I suddenly figured out that the same actor playing 'Johnny' in Laundrette was also playing 'Cecil Vyse' in View.
O. M. Gawd, I thought, what an actor--
What's weirder (and sadder) is--those films were made in 1985, when Daniel Day-Lewis was--yes--28 years old.
Heath was 28.
(Both DDL and Heath were both born in April, too.)
I'm maundering. But you know what I mean, I think.

Like you said on the Broome Street thread, John, there are circles and circles.
I can't help but feel that Daniel Day-Lewis was seeing his younger self in Heath, glad to recognize another serious artist in the making. In a way, his grief over the loss of Heath at such a young age has echoes of a father losing his son---in this case his spiritual son. :(

I'd rather take my chances in a room full of rattlesnakes.
However, while I think I understand your desire to help them, Br. Patrick, I agree with Meryl. People need a reason to hate. Their reason, more than likely a good measure of homophobia blessed with more than a good amount of misguided ignorance mixed religious conviction, is one of the strongest kinds of venom (hate).
We can't change them with love any more than they can change us with hate.
But we can wisely accept them as they are, like accepting rattlesnakes. Most earthly creatures, except those that eat them, stay out of striking range and move quickly away without hesitation.
Aloysius J. Gleek:
Meryl. Yes. Exactly.
Gosh, I am so old.
I will be 54 years old--guess--in April.
Gah.
Nevermind.
(Can you imagine if the Phelps crew ever figures out that DD-L played a gay punk with leather jacket, chains and yellow dyed hair, who schtupped a Pakistani yuppy kid in Laundrette !?? And they become Lovers and Live Happily Ever After!?? Oh my--)

I've been searching in vain trying to find what, specifically, Cate Blanchett and Ryan Gosling did/said. I don't doubt it - I just like to read the tasteful and heartfelt tributes wherever I can find them. Thanks in advance.
