He doesn't have bells and whistles, he doesn't shoot missiles. He punches and kicks.

We can, on occasion, begin to accept a difficult situation's contribution to our wholeness while caught in the turmoil.

They didn't know what kind of films people wanted. The European films were making a huge impact because those films wanted real people in real situations.
