"E" is eXistenZ (1999)

I think that Walt Disney and David Cronenberg can pretty safely be described as polar opposites.  ;D



A psychological thriller about a virtual reality game that takes over the lives of two people so that they no longer know what is real and what is not.

"F" is Fidel (2001)

While EXISTENZ is a fantastical story about fictional people experiencing the unreal, FIDEL is a documentary purporting to show us the real life of an actual person.

Leslie, I think this is the most challenging & interesting round yet.

"G" is George Bush Goes to Heaven (2006)

While Fidel is a documentary about a repressive dictator, George Bush Goes to Heaven is a satire of a repressive dictator, um, shows the powers of free speech and the irrational fear of dissent.

"H" is Heaven Can Wait (1978)

Even though both movies have "Heaven" in the title and each features a character as an angel on the cover, I think it is safe to say that Warren Beatty and George W. Bush are polar opposites!

"I" is In Hell (2003)

If you find yourself in a place that is the polar opposite of Heaven, then you are probably...




Especially if you're sitting next to the Muscles from Brussels.

The opposite of Jean-Claude Van Damme in an action film In Hell is Roy Dupuis in a musical Jack Paradise.

"K" is Kurt & Courtney (1998)

A jazz pianist in Montreal is certainly the polar opposite of rocker Kurt Cobain from Seattle, who took his own life in 1994.

"L" is The Leader, His Driver and the Driver's Wife (1991)
« Reply #3138 on: March 20, 2008, 11:07:21 am »
Synopsis
An awardwinning documentary, first shown on Channel 4 TV's 'True Stories' programme which shows what happens when an apparently bumbling Nick Broomfield tries to make a film about the neo-Nazi Afrikaner Resistance Movement and its leader, Eugene Terreblanche. The result is both frightening and hilarious.



Although another documentary by Nick Broomfield the subject of this one is pretty much the polar opposite of the empathetic, sensitive and wonderfully creative Kurt Cobain.

The opposite of a neo-Nazi Afrikaaner must be a gender-bending Chinese opera star.
