...dissent for Democrats to understand who was on their side. And the decision - decisions, really - were such a buzzing, conflicted horde that Gore didn't concede, and Bush didn't celebrate, because there was a lot of deciphering to do first.

...some other "voter identification code" would verify voters' identity just as picture identification currently does at most polling places.

...really great parts of the movie are when Johnny Depp enters the scene. His presence, facial expressions and self-confidence are unique, and each of his gestures and body language expresses complete mastery of the young, yet mature and inimitable artist. His penetrating glances and smile lights up the screen. One of the young children who spends time with Depp at the chocolate shop, Gati (Marion Haudecoeur) has huge eyes in her tiny, unforgettable face. Juliette Binoche is also as great and beautiful as usual...
