Voltaire,

Sophies choice was the icer, heartbreaking and unforgettable . On a similar bent to Out of Africa but in an American context ' The Bridges of Madison County ' unleashed another powerhouse perfomance of love given and love lost .Another classic with a truly gut wrenching ending.

I must say Voltaire I am a sucker for a period or historical drama with a great plot ,great dialogue ,vast cinematic techniques ,and great acting . At the risk of sounding dated sadly I find the movies of today plainly lack the complexity to unveil a great plot and the actors of current note clearly lack the skills to deliver believable performances .The things my kids watch and seem to enjoy are excruciating in their ordinariness and basic appeal to the lowest common denominator.

I'm only 57 years old and considered rather radical by my younger compatriots surprisingly ,but the stuff served up as entertainment these days plain sucks ,so in that way I just don't get it
