I apologize for not remembering who does, and who does not, like subtitles. But I have to recommend Shadow Magic. This is a truly excellent work about a Westerner who brings the first motion pictures to China (Peking) in 1902. Please try to see it- if subtitles do not bother you too much. It's a marvelous film. And so cheerful, in comparison to most other Chinese films we get.

I'm grateful never to have been in a hail of bullets, too. Strange world. I heard on the radio that the reason the WTC building collapsed so suddenly and peculiarly symmetrically is that the structure was supported by the metal shell, which was not built to withstand temperatures of over 1500 degrees, which that burning plane, with its load of gasoline, generated. So when the outer shell a few floors from the top melted, the upper floors, too heavy to be supported by the structure under them, fell, flattening the lower floors one after the other with their accumulating weight.
