Another comment about Back to the Future, did you notice that there was only one black with a speaking part, if not only one black in the movie, also the female roles in the film fell a little bit short of what one might call full human poetential. The comment about Spielberg involved films (I'll come back to goonies) is that they are suburban, the suburbs are white bread and mayo, but still there is space for some other representations that Harrison Ford or some variant of his younger brother. Goonies was an exception but in the case of a group instead of one against the world the mix seeemed appropriate, but they were not real people at least not for kids to identify with.... Things I hope are improving, but the occasional good interpratation of a role by somebody else is wanting, I mean all Latvians are represented on the screen by Gene Barry! Ta Ta Tinsel Town, signing off for now.... -- Mike Upmalis (mupmalis@watarts) ihnp4!watmath!watarts!mupmalis
