47th Academy Awards from 1975 ( giving awards to movies from 1974 ) was an interesting spectacle. Francis Ford Coppola's film The Conversation ( which was nominated for Best Picture ) lost to The Godfather Part II also by Francis Ford Coppola. In 1981 Brian De Palma, one of the people who hanged out with Francis at the time, decided to remake a 1966 Italian film Blowup, but doing it like Coppola's The Conversation. Where sound plays a critical role in the plot of the picture.

This movie is excellent and was when DePalma was in his prime.

Before you click on the blog, know this writer's review of Fifth Element contained a lengthy ramble of their personal defense of pedophilia, not simply contextualizing it within the movie. They are also a self-declared supporter of Richard Stallman, an advocate for the legalization of child pornography and pedophilia.

If anyone wants to know how to apply user tags (visible to you only). Comment here; I can describe for Voyager app users at least. It's handy for tagging users one doesn't want to accidentally give clicks to.
