One of the reasons my posting schedule has gone from its former daily, frenetic pace to four or so per week is to give myself the freedom to watch things I'm interested in seeing without feeling the need to review them.<br /><br />As for <i>Mona Lisa</i>, I think that's a possible reading of it, but it's not one I'd choose. I think the events are real, and his relating the story to Thomas is his own rationalization of what happened.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-78816228260502642152013-12-19T09:58:46.075-06:002013-12-19T09:58:46.075-06:00I love this movie but it wasn't until the thir...I love this movie but it wasn't until the third time I watched it that I began to think that the whole thing was a story one guy told to another guy and not reality.

There's a shot at the very end that seems to indicate that.<br /><br />I know you are on your own quest but if you have time I would highly suggest Hoskins' performance in the BBC mini-series "Pennies from Heaven". It's on DVD and available ultra-cheap now on Amazon. That might be my favorite performance by Hoskins. It's very disturbing in a lot of ways but worth seeing.marie_dresslerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06334550550983418668noreply@blogger.com
