“To call it an anticlimax would be an insult not only to climaxes but to prefixes. It's a crummy secret, about one step up the ladder of narrative originality from It Was All a Dream. It's so witless, in fact, that when we do discover the secret, we want to rewind the film so we don't know the secret anymore. And then keep on rewinding, and rewinding, until we're back at the beginning, and can get up from our seats and walk backward out of the theater and go down the up escalator and watch the money spring from the cash register into our pockets.” KnowsWantFactsDreamWould BeFilmWalksSecretStepsWatchesSpringTheaterGet UpNarrativeSeatsInsultPocketsCashOriginalityLaddersRegisterStep UpClimaxEscalatorsRewind Book:Roger Ebert's Movie Yearbook 2006 Source: Roger Ebert's Movie Yearbook 2006

“To watch an American on a beach, or crowding into a subway, or buying a theatre ticket, or sitting at home with his radio on, tells you something about one aspect of the American character: the capacity to withstand a great deal of outside interference, so to speak; a willing acceptance of frenzy which, though it's never self-conscious, amounts to a willingness to let other people have and assert their own lively, and even offensive, character. They are a tough race in this.” PeopleSelfCharacterHomeSpeakDealsRaceWatchesAcceptanceWillingAmountConsciousSittingToughCapacityAspectTheaterRadioBeachBuyingWillingnessTicketsOffensiveSelf ConsciousLivelyInterferenceSubwayFrenzyAmerican Character Author:Alistair Cooke
