Status: offline 		Just finished watching "Hysteria"... the true story of the invention of the "Personal Massage Device" i.e. VIBRATOR LOL

From a feminist perspective, it documents the medical diagnosis of "Hysteria" for women (and a rather interesting "treatment") which actually existed until 1952! I had no idea!

It's funny and a decent love story as well as being informative about gender discrimination at the dawn of the 20th Century.

No. It was just me trying to say that the movie We Were Soldiers might be the war movie I've seen the most. It could be tied with Gettysburg.

Hey No problem Orm, that film and the Big Red One always are the WW2 Movies I do not mind watching over and over again. And the funny thing is I rarely like WW2 film featuring American and British stories (nothing political here) because it is always written from the "winning side" and "made for the movies". I love anything WW2 made in Eastern Europe and Asia just to get a different point of view.

Actually now that I am thinking about it I am going to watch what I think is one of the best Russian WW2 films I have ever had the pleasure to watch. (not so much War but what it does to people and especially children. I am glad I bought a copy many years ago while traveling in Eastern Europe. Was a bugger to decode to play in North America though.

There was a Vandeleur (a Cavalry Officer) at Waterloo. Does anyone know if he is related to Irish Guards Vandeleur (played by Michael Caine in ABTF)

What an excellent film!

Inspired by this I watched it again yesterday.

While I agree it is a excellent film it feels like a sequel to me.
