The films that do this, beginning and end (and perhaps elsewhere,
I forget) are produced deliberately with this. It is a point
where art and technology converge into a happy sublime marriage.
The elongation even added to the immensely romantic nature of
this film.
We need to compare notes, Boji, on a more pressing matter: how we
are respectively faring in BdeZ's kf? I am bearing up but am a
little stressed by the screams that are still emanating from the
lower chambers where you are. Are you ok? Try stretching
