Smile of the Day

A movie I've just seen, which I'll add to my list of favourites, is Elephant Walk with Elizabeth Taylor from 1953/54. Some points I like are that the lady threw all the free-loading drunks out of her house; she stood up to her husband when he was stuck in unhelpful views from the past; and she was there to see the "elephant people" break through the unreasonable barriers which had been placed in their path. An Englishman in Ceylon had built a large home directly across the trail which elephants used to go to their watering hole. He had reportedly said it was his privilege to place his home wherever he wanted to! I believe this house can represent discriminatory laws against gays; and, on the other hand, it can also represent gays who think they're entitled to get in the way of legitimate religious rights [it's been stated by some that gay rights need to overtake religious rights, and I don't believe that's true--see related posting below]. Another movie I like is The Man Who Knew Too Little, from 1997. [I have a copy at home; and Internet notes don't seem to do it justice. But it seems to be connected to an early film, "The Man Who Knew Too Much."]
