summary here:  http://imdb.com/list

One Chinese-language film that I would recommend is _Bian Lian_, also
known as the _King of Masks_.  It was in theatrical release in 1996,
in Mandarin with English subtitles.  The movie is about a street
performer in 1930s China, specializing in rapid changes from one silk
mask to another.  His wife and son died years earlier, and he decides
to adopt a son to train as his successor.  The little boy he adopts
turns out to be a girl, but they come to love each other as father and
daughter.

That's not it. I'll check out Hero anyhow.

I know I would recognize the name of this film if I heard it again.

========================================
I loved Hero (made in 2002 or 2003), it is a beautiful movie.

He proved himseelf to be a sorry excuse for a human being long ago, hence
the reason he's in my killfile.

Not homophobic. I don't fear homosexuals, I avoid them. For moral
reasons, not fear reasons.

And with this post you've shown yourself to be a homo-phobic bit of
trash!

New Study Links Homophobia with Homosexual Arousal
Psychoanalytic theory holds that homophobia --the fear, anxiety, anger,
discomfort and aversion that some ostensibly heterosexual people hold for
gay individuals -- is the result of repressed homosexual urges that the
person is either unaware of or denies. A study appearing in the August issue
of the Journal of Abnormal Psychology, published by the American
Psychological Association (APA), provides new empirical evidence that is
consistent with that theory.

Researchers at the University of Georgia conducted an experiment involving
35 homophobic men and 29 non-homophobic men as measured by the Index of
Homophobia scale. All the participants selected for the study described
themselves as exclusively heterosexual both in terms of sexual arousal and
experience.

Each participant was exposed to sexually explicit erotic stimuli consisting
of heterosexual, male homosexual and lesbian videotapes (but not necessarily
in that order). Their degree of sexual arousal was measured by penile
plethysmography, which precisely measures and records male tumescence.

Men in both groups were aroused by about the same degree by the video
depicting heterosexual sexual behavior and by the video showing two women
engaged in sexual behavior. The only significant difference in degree of
arousal between the two groups occurred when they viewed the video depicting
male homosexual sex: "The homophobic men showed a significant increase in
penile circumference to the male homosexual video, but the control
[non-homophobic] men did not."

Broken down further, the measurements showed that while 66% of the
non-homophobic group showed no significant tumescence while watching the
male homosexual video, only 20% of the homophobic men showed little or no
evidence of arousal. Similarly, while 24% of the non-homophobic men showed
definite tumescence while watching the homosexual video, 54% of the
homophobic men did.

When asked to give their own subjective assessment of the degree to which
they were aroused by watching each of the three videos, men in both groups
gave answers that tracked fairly closely with the results of the objective
physiological measurement, with one exception: the homophobic men
significantly underestimated their degree of arousal by the male homosexual
video.

Do these findings mean, then, that homophobia in men is a reaction to
repressed homosexual urges, as psychoanalysis theorizes? While their
findings are consistent with that theory, the authors note that there is
another, competing theoretical explanation: anxiety. According to this
theory, viewing the male homosexual videotape may have caused negative
emotions (such as anxiety) in the homophobic men, but not in the
non-homophobic men. As the authors note, "anxiety has been shown to enhance
arousal and erection," and so it is also possible that "a response to
homosexual stimuli [in these men] is a function of the threat condition
rather than sexual arousal per se. These competing notions can and should be
evaluated by future research."

I KF'ed the creep a long time ago. I guess he's finally showing his
true colors.

I don't use the killfile a lot either, but I KF'd him way back when he
made his first homophobic remark. I'd never seen a message from him that
contributed to the newsgroup in any way, so it's no loss.

Sherry, this is the same guy who was denied adoption of a cat because of
cruelty issues - he's been posting here a long time, but since so many
people have him kill-filed he hasn't caused much stir lately.

So, you're a judgemental a.shole who jumps to jackass conclusions?

So you are the people hating freak I always suspected.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Jo

I think this goes for pretty near 100% of the rest of the group, too (if not
101%).

Courtesy returned. Guess you don't like people who stand for morals
and values.

Congratulations... you just earned your way back into my killfile. And
this time it won't have an expiry date.

What a sad state of America. We used to encourage families and
discourage perverts.

Ben watched Dreamer and said it was really good (I was biking so didn't get
to watch it before it had to be back to the rental store).  Memoirs of a
Geisha was *really* good (Ben didn't watch this one).

Now I want to see it again to find out why I enjoyed it so much back then!
