I think in some cases, what is apparent to the writer and brilliant to the writer doesn't always translate when read out of context. The homage was a lovely thought. Perhaps part of the problem was that a) it didn't click in the MERPs head and/or 2) ( ) it's not something in the film that really sticks out. I'd forgotten about that occurrence in Walk the Line and wouldn't have understood it without your explanation. Hope that helps.
I got it straight away. Those scenes in the film surrounding the brother's death and the effect it had on Cash stand out for me. I wouldn't have got the Saving Private Ryan reference, though. For me it made sense because the closeness of the brothers was represented in a signifcant scene when they talk in bed. Also, it's a comment on the family's situation.
As someone who has posted about declines, and got some really useful input, I would recommend that way of getting advice on writing reviews. |

Answers are only forthcoming after spending a great deal of time contemplating the nature of the disembodied hands.
I like the My Left Foot suggestion.

I started a similar threa a while ago that went nowhere; I did get some constructive feedback, though, on why certain reviews of mine were probably declined. I am a lot more careful when I submit a review, and I pretty much always check other reviews first to save the "similar to another review" situation. Still, I'm pissed that "I was not entertained" for Gladiator was declined (No reason given). Ditto "Top Five Film. Not" for High Fidelity. I have no qualms about posting declined reviews in this or any other thread; I don't really give a shit if people think it's time-wasting or whining.
