 VH>>> (After all, the Motion Picture Academy -- mostly liberals -- did

 TS>> Probably for its historical value.  Other than that, I cant guess.

 RY> Liberal or not, she was brilliant. LIke Sergei Eisenstien, who did

 RY> I've seen both works, when I was a film student, it's impressive.

I disagree.  The looks of adoration on the faces can't be faked, IMO.
MAybe some was staged, but I doubt it would have been necessary.
