...viewer's emotions when he is there. This is the clue about how he must be regarded: foam rubber or not, it is wrong to call him a good trick. He is a good actor, quite capable of handling a drunk scene or of splashing about in a bathtub (though Spielberg, to his eventual regret, cut the bath scene).

Then Faith must sing it again--now translated into English--while alone in the bathtub, choked up by pain which is merely cheapened by rhyme. These banal songs are not merely the underpinnings of the sensibilities of these characters, but, sadly, the only form in which they can express themselves. Even when she's not singing. Faith utters profoundly empty phrases such as. "You helped...
