I think part of it, for me, is also that she looks older than she is. Some of it is how many movies she made when she was older, and her face didn't change much. What I'm saying is it might have been different in the moment, but, even so, I'm saying (at least) 15 years between siblings without any in the mean time is a stretch.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Yes, and it bears remarking on, no? If I were a reporter (or, hey, two), I know I would remark on it.

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll be passing them on. I'm very tempted to stick a Kate Hepburn movie on the list just to see if he notices.
I have to say, you all have done a much better job than the people here at the law school, who can't seem to figure out that the movies they're giving me are about foreign law not international law. I suspect it's just because fun questions like this are seem so few and far between when the dark cloud of final exams gathers over the university.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Just saw your request, Sparky. Gentleman's Agreement comes to mind. If you want something off the wall like an Errol Flynn war movie, Objective Burma! could fit (one character is killed in what could only be called torture).

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I think Salvador would work, Sparky.
DS9 episode "Duet" is a great piece on torture. Also Death and the Maiden.

Also Death and the Maiden.
That's the one I was trying to think of! Very disturbing. Sigourney Weaver and Ben Kingsley are just amazing.

Yeah, it's still a little stagey, but the performances (as you would expect from those two) are so strong. As a writer, you can only hope to have people like Kingsley and Weaver enacting your words.
Or...Emma Thompson or Cate Blanchett or Daniel Day Lewis or Gary Oldham, or....

Continuing thanks... things like Death and the Maiden don't count, however, unless there's an international law element in it. If I remember correctly, that one, for example, takes place in an unnamed country with all domestic participants. So, there's no treaty to invoke, etc. Domestic torture? Meh.
The problem a lot of my law school suggestions had were that they were about people in a country not their own getting in trouble because of that country's domestic laws. Again, no real international law element.
We need war crimes tribunals, extraditions, treaties, etc... Agreements between nation states up for debate.
