Heaven forfend that we should be allowed to understand what is going on in a ballet! I'm not sure that narrative is right, or subtitles. Clearly something is required: perhaps the printed programme should be sufficient, though dimmable electric lights make it hard to read.
The first time that Craig was expelled from Malkovich's brain he was deposited in a particular place, near the New Jersey Turnpike. How did he know that people would always land there until it happened for the second time?
Because Merkins don't understand titles. (The UK version was called "Sardonicus".) I think that he correctly signs his name just "Sardonicus" on the document near the end.
Perhaps the children are killed in order to "conceal the consequences of an irregular union" as the Revd. Malthus said in a slightly different context. (He of population control fame.) And is it not sometimes called a "fate worse than death"? (Oh dear, I seem to be justifying child murder.)
Probably not genuine, as noted. Anyway, if they'd shown the girls dancing they'd have to had shaved Janina Faye's pubes as she was 13 when she played the part. Only joking.
Never happened to me. I must have been an ugly kid. :-(
I've looked at it over and over and I can't see how the heads were changed over.
Also it's interesting that the character called The Mutant played by Peter Strudwick was born with no feet and deformed hands because his mother caught rubella. His deformities are clearly visible in the film.
Maybe it's mostly "therapy-induced". Maybe lots of mental conditions are.

There are lots of humanoids with funny heads which is what passes for aliens in most space SF.
Just FF the boring lovey-dovey stuff.
They're showing this version currently in the UK on Sky Arts. The best stage version I've seen so far. Liam Neeson plays the reporter on screen and as some kind of hologram. Marti Pellow does his singing on stage. Liam Neeson narrates, starting with the "No-one would believe in the last years of the nineteenth century..." speech (which is on the original book).
My money is on Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1964). Features a young Pia Zadora, painted green, playing a Martian child.
Yebbut the good German doctor sewed identical twins together which is a bit different.
This set of experiments wasn't all that much different from a good many psycho experiments. Remember the one where the subjects apparently gave electric shocks to people?
About the only objection is that the results were never published.
'Cause the original is really about a young girl saying and doing naughty things.
What a waste of two pretty ten-year-olds. No child behaves or gets away with behaving like they do. The adults aren't any more realistic. I know it's supposed to be a comedy. I know it's set in Canada. It's still bad.
Are you sure you aren't confusing it with a film called, um, Harlequin (1980) (Nothing to do with Dorian Gray)?
I expected the children to fly up in the air like in E.T. I feel cheated.
<blockquote>3) on two occasions he tells his young daughter to put her clothes on after she was seen nude outside. So, it turns out this is supposed to be comic relief, as became apparent when the daughter scolded her dad after by telling him to "wear clothes for dinner."</blockquote>It might not matter, but the child in question was a boy, Nai, played by Charlie Shotwell. (The two youngest are hard to distinguish or sex.)
Did they pay her less as she was shown in b/w?
I don't know whether Argentina was fascist or not, but, contrary to the description, none is shown in the film. Harsh uncaring orphanages are found in many types of regime.
