I feel deeply sorry for your great aunt. I think if Dante had been writing his Inferno now, repeated viewings of "The Sound of Music" would be somewhere around the 7th circle. Or maybe a constant looping double bill where it plays with "Titanic" (with the action scenes cut out). Was Jim Cameron, King of the World, warning us all about the danger we are placing the Earth in? 'This is where we met!' 'Uh yes Rose that's nice, kind of busy here what with dying and trying to still look pretty.' Give me A Night To Remember any day.
Sorry, went on a tangent there.
spaceshaper, 5 points to you and a special prize for, as far as I can recollect, being the first person online to point out where my username (which I've had for about 7 years) comes from. The fact that you misquote the first line (it's 'I wander through each chartered street') suggests you quoted it from memory, which is doubly impressive. Either that or you left in an intentional mistake to make it look like you did, which is frankly just as impressive.

Thanks for an interesting if occasionally insane reading of the movie. re: the above post, I'm not sure "It's A Wonderful Life" can be said to be a 9 based purely on its ending, it's a pretty dark movie about suicide. I was slightly taken aback by a reading of it recently which said that there is no angel, that George kills himself, and the last act of the movie is an existential contemplation of why George's life is and was worth living. I'd also disagree with The Sound of Music, the only WW2 movie which makes me want the Nazis to win, but maybe that's just me. Singin' in the Rain might be a more pure 10.
No Country I think is open to all sorts of interpretations; not sure about the Moses thing because he was a leader, and I don't know who Moss is leading, other than his own interests. An intelligent and intriguing response though.
