Hi everyone :)

Does anyone know of any other forums about this film?.....I've already been to James spader meeting place but can't seem to find anything else that goes in depth about this film. Thanks in advance.

........also i've noticed in the film that graham always seems to be near a door frame or not entierly in the same room as ann (if i remember correctly when cynthia is there he walks around casually. I don't have the film with me right now, it's currently making it's rounds amongst my friends)and when he talks to ann both in the diner and when she first finds out about the tapes, the hand graham plays with himself is always in the shot. Graham also gestures with that hand when he's talking to her. Do you think all of this is intentional?

I think it's been carefully thought about by james spader himself because i've read he pays massive attention to detail..:)

Although it would be more of a coincidence about the hand if humans had 50 hands to choose from .... Just kidding, those are genuinely interesting points. Please, please, have a great time on this board, it is too quiet at present.

Sweet - yet bent on global domination!

oh.... i'm not blowing this board off, i am still making my way threw all the threads. :)

...and still waiting for people to post there interpretations of this film. It's amazing because everyone i know who has seen the film all have different views and pick up on different things, like the one i posted before. I personally think it's intentional because graham also does this when there having dinner....right when he says 'everything i own is in the car'. His right hand is on the table and his left hand is under the table and he's looks directly at ann....and we all know that his videotapes are in the trunk of the car.

Also, i said before that graham is near a door frame when ann is at his place. I didn't actually realise that that also could be carefully thought out until the film got to ann's 'interview' and he's sitting on the floor near the door frame, like he's reluctant.
