...Hindi uses Indian script, Devanagari, and Urdu uses a form of the Arabic. In my intro courses, I teach people both script systems, an unusual technique. Most schools teach them as separate languages. But I don't think that language instruction should become politicized...
...lawsuit details 12 instances in which inventions of Chase-Riboud have allegedly ended up in the shooting script. However, at least to a critic's eye, many of the examples appear to be trivial or forced.

What redeems the sketchy script just enough to make the film bearable is Figgis' jazzy direction and a nuanced performance by Snipes...
