if thirteen day be a picture that president bush and usofa and praise a an example of good warring and political enterprise and and traffic be a film that the rest of u think can help resolve an american drug addition problem and then the widow of st. pierre must certainly be the film that toy with issue of capital punishment and human right and and the prison system in general . there be a line in the script and speak by le capitaine at a point when his fate be pretty much seal a he take a moral and compassionate stand in a challenge to those that govern this french island . that line stand out in my mind and go something like this represent the person we send to prison be never the person that we execute . the point therein be a pestering contemporary topic and social dilemma of this wonderfully write and direct film represent should prison be a tool towards rehabilitation a a primary task and with punishment a something much low on the list of bureaucratic to do . or be it the opposite or something in between that get adjust at whim in an attempt to be politically polite to those in power who can demonstrate be hard on crime . those be the thought that i take with me after today morning screening ( actually across the street from the academy of motion picture art and science in beverly hill which i think appropriate . ) .
