Another movie that was difficult for me to get through. Taken individually, these film attributes–being in a foreign language with subtitles; being old (pre-1970s); being set in the past; being set in the countryside–are not guaranteed to make me dislike a movie, but when it’s all of them at once…

As with /Bucket of Blood/, the best part of this movie was seeing a favourite actor in their youth.

Thanks, Sarah. Perhaps the song in Coraline was making reference to those.

Cat Prickett: It’s from the playground verse,
I’m Popeye the sailor man
I live in a garbage can
I like to go swimmin’
With bowlegged women
I’m Popeye the sailor man (poop-poop!)

My favourite variation on this theme is
I’m Popeye the sailor man
I live in a caravan
I turned on the heater
And burned off my wiener
I’m Popeye the sailor man (poop-poop!)

There are many reasons why Esperanto never caught on and why it is at best a curiosity. The lack of a culture behind it is one of those reasons. You can find a lot of other reasons at RANTO: Learn (not) to Speak Esperanto. Or you could just watch this movie and have it explained in tedious detail. :D

I also noticed today another entirely Esperanto movie mentioned at WWW dot KURSO dot COM dot BR! (That’s BR for Brazil.) The announcement must be a couple of years old, as it was scheduled for release at the Esperanto World Congress in Yokohama and links to a defunct website.

La Patro (The Father), the newest movie from Joe Bazilio,
is to be realease in the Esperanto World Congress, in
Jokahama, Japan. The movie, entirely spoken in Esperanto
and with subtitles in many languages, is the second in the
career of the Brazilian director, …
