It was interesting to see how some of the [now adult] children look back on the situation today. From a graphic designer's perspective, I also loved the opening titles.<BR/><BR/>I've recommended this film to my friends, and I'll definitely see it again!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30414727.post-66370365897458919582008-07-28T17:37:00.000-07:002008-07-28T17:37:00.000-07:00Fiona,I think you are correct that he was quite do...Fiona,<BR/><BR/>I think you are correct that he was quite dogmatic.

Not to be a downer or anything, but that's what I remember reading.
