I am finding fault with my post above, the one that contrasts the Brian pic with the mystery beer drinker from the 1973 Macca special.
Who am I to do facial typologies and relate it to races and families?
I could slap myself! I presumed on some stereotypical anthropological stuff that is half-baked and innappropriate.
I can't say with any certainty what peoples have what charactoristics; what I said does not hold up to scrutiny and what do such things matter anyway.
What is important is who Brian was and what he did for his friends and his employees. A nose is a nose. A chin is a chin; a lip is a lip. Whoopy.
My statement about the man in the picture having a "Hebrew nose" is not acceptable for a number of reasons.
Even so, I don't remember ever seeing Brian Epstein in the 60's. I have no memory of him from then at all. What do I know. I have no idea of what type of nose or anything else that Epstein may have possessed. I don't even know what I would be looking for. So the beer guy is likely just a bar patron
who got into some shots and they used them.
Beyond that, I am not even sure if there was a "Frian", anyway, as that theory has roots from another place.............that place where Don Knotts
gets all the glory.

Don't be so hard on yourself, Doc'. You meant well, and that's what matters. Ummm... I'm guessing you meant to post your ummm.. post on another thread. Did you take the test? And if so, what was your score?  |

 I was wondering if DOC posted his comment to see if anyone was paying attention that it was the wrong thread......? Doc likes to push our buttons.... I thought maybe that was part of the test..... ;D If you would have been part of the actual study, you would have been informed where you can get immediate attention to your problem  This has been a test of the Emergency DOC system.  THis was just a test....  A test....not a quiz, but a test.... to see, if you can read between the lines.... and find the hidden PWR clues.....  You know that somewhere between Frian and Don Knotts there is some secret DOC Code... More intense than Da Vinci...even though Doc will never have a movie about it starring Tom Hanks... Boo hooo, but maybe Tom Cruise will star in this one..... It was just a test....

It's controversial. It's getting support in some areas, and slammed in others. It's a blockbuster. It's Ron Howard. It's a screen adaptation.
I was profoundly moved. I thought it was a wonderful movie on many levels.
Philosophically, well there is a lot to think about. As a motion picture, I found it highly engaging and even satisfying.
I liked the score. I really loved the special effect visuals that were used to show flashbacks, historical tableau (one amazing scene showing Jerusalem in 1000AD during the Crusades), etc. Camera angles, cinemtography was exceptionally effective in heightening suspense, and revealing plot twists and turns. It should be seen.
Kudos to Ron Howard and his team of top drawer film craftsman for taking what could have been a dry, documentary like narrative and lifting it up to luxurious drama. The scene of "Teeping"(sp?) expositing the Grail legend to Sophie, done with nimble technical wizardry and the masterful acting of Ian McKellam, artfully avoided didactisicm. The directing eschewed hammy beats and artificial emotional ploys. Where the scenes are tender they are well advised; where the scenes are disturbing they serve well the story. Charactorizations are balanced. There are no excesses of acting or direction.
The through-line is well served, hitting every vital beat needed. It's a case where who-dunnit meets history lesson, profane meets the arcane, religion has a cup of tea with philosophy, and dogma and worship spar with issues long hidden under a chalice. It's not a cup for everyone, certainly, for reasons of creed as well as tradition. But as a cinema experience, it is a goblet poured to the brim with wine from a very aged, special reserve, uncorked in good season.
