It's a beautifully constructed film with amazing performances. <br /><br />I also hated Children of a Lesser God and was completely baffled by the praise it garnered. I didn't love Crimes of the Heart but I didn't hate it either. I certainly enjoyed it more than Children. <br /><br />I like the suggestion for Aliens but both Stand by Me and A Room with a View would rank higher for me.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-63651880513867506452018-12-18T07:15:24.525-06:002018-12-18T07:15:24.525-06:00Yep--that's exactly it.Yep--that's exactly it.

I know there was an Alan Dean Foster novelization of the movie, but that was post hoc, if I'm not mistaken. Wikipedia says Cameron wrote the script for "Aliens" after getting word that people liked his script for "The Terminator" (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliens_(film)#Conception" rel="nofollow">here</a>). You sure this was an adapted screenplay? Maybe I'm missing something.Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.com
