".....one of the most unpleasant, contrived, artificial, cloying experiences I've had at the movies...I hated this movie. Hated hated hated hated hated this movie. Hated it. Hated every simpering stupid vacant audience-insulting moment of it. Hated the sensibility that thought anyone would like it. Hated the implied insult to the audience by its belief that anyone would be entertained by it." -ROGER EBERT

When I read the book, the biography famous,
And is this then (said I) what the author calls a man’s life?
And so will some one when I am dead and gone write my life?
(As if any man really knew aught of my life,
Why even I myself I often think know little or nothing of my real life,
Only a few hints, a few diffused faint clews and indirections
I seek for my own use to trace out here.)
Saboteur (1942)
This scene is set in a crowded movie theater in the middle of a screening. A man in the audience is shot and slumps over, but it takes a while for anyone to notice as the real gunshot has been covered (a similar incident occurs in The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956) when an assassination attempt at a symphony is planned so that the gunshot coincides with the crash of a cymbal).

Unknown photographer / Getty Images, 1947, Kon Tiki
The Kon Tiki was named after a legendary seafaring sun-king common to both the old Inca kingdom and the islands of Polynesia.
In this photograph, a lone figure, possibly Thor Heyerdahl, perches on the mast of the Kon Tiki. He sailed the balsa wood raft with five fellow adventurers from Peru to Polynesia in 1947, in an attempt to prove that prehistoric South American seafarers could have made the same journey.
