...That widespread portrayal is invention masquerading as history. You want certainty? You want religiosity? How about a people who overthrow the political order of the ages, go to war and occasion thousands of deaths in the name of self-evident truths and unalienable rights endowed by the Creator? That was 1776. The universality, the sacredness and the divine origin of freedom are enshrined in our founding document. The Founders, believers all, signed it. Thomas Jefferson wrote it.

...software, written a little bit at a time by hundreds of people around the world. Users of any given product, Cunningham knew, were like the proverbial blind men feeling an elephant. Their knowledge was far greater than the sum of its parts-greater than even the product's creator-if only you could piece it together in the right way.

(But her driver in the film, Hanna Laslo, won the Best Actress prize.) And when the creator of the most successful series in movie history says he'd like to show the final episode in Cannes, the festival gives him the key to its heart. The bustling pace and dazzle of Revenge of the Sith might make it an anomaly amid the no-tech, paint-drying minimalism...
