Authentic Monsters and Artificial Mothers: Maternal Frustration in Pedro Almodóvar's \All About My Mother\
Despite a firm grounding in both the cultural and political past of his homeland, Almodovar is also the successful creator of his own alternative world in which the accepted rules governing narrative development and gender roles are challenged.2 It is in the intersection between these two seemingly contradictory realities of fantasy and national commentary that the richness of All About My Mother and its criticism of women's roles can be appreciated. Distraught and lost, Manuela literally follows her son's heart by traveling to La Coruña and spying on his organ recipient.5 Isolina Ballesteros writes quite extensively on the prevalence of transplants and implants in Almodovar's work, and states that he \"extends the problematization of identity to the material body itself\" (92).

Paying for the Damage: The Quiet American Revisited
Pyle then ends the scene by lecturing on the amount of financial aid the United States has provided France, the Domino Theory, and the ironic claim that today's bombing will save lives. The celebration of the Chinese New Year was briefly interrupted at the Cholon Restaurant by a shabbily dressed, middle-aged Caucasian who appeared suddenly on the dance floor, unshaven, unwashed, and unwanted, and made a nuisance of himself by haranguing a young Vietnamese girl.

The spy who became a star
QUESTION Why was the [Joseph L. Mankiewicz] film about the spy Cicero, played by James Mason in 1952, called Five Fingers? FIVE Fingers was based on the true story of Elyesa Bazna, Albanian-born valet to Sir Hughe Knatchbull-Hugessen, the British ambassador to Turkey. Sensing an opportunity to make money, Bazna photographed secret British documents before approaching Ludwig Moyzisch, an attache at the German Embassy in Ankara. He became a paid German agent in 1943 and was given the codename Cicero. Mankiewicz came up with the title Five Fingers to reflect the leading character's greed. The original poster depicted an outstretched hand with the words 'lust', 'greed', 'passion', 'desire' and 'sin' on it.
