I was six. I don't feel scarred for life.

I went in thinking, yeah, this'll be all heartwarming and feel-good, but in the end it'll be like Denzel Washington's transformation in <i>Philadelphia</i> which I wanted but didn't quite believe...But then...the grocery store scene. Totally believed it, because I knew Woodroof wasn't doing it for Rayon. He was doing it for himself.<br /><br />Also not even slightly tangentially related but still funny: the show "Dallas" was very popular in Romania when Ceaucescu was in power. Ol' Nicolae had it shown on state TV to show people how decadent and corrupt Western capitalism was. Most Romanians instead thought wealthy Texans were the most awesome people in the world.
