Then Hsiao-kang wakes up to find her asleep across him. As with everything Tsai, the swing operates slowly.visionhttp://vision.butanpressfight.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8035434747786768960.post-90571053063188615122010-06-13T06:47:27.556+01:002010-06-13T06:47:27.556+01:00Thank you, Sabrina.

But I'm sure I've seen many more striking uses of the swing. <br /><br />How about To Kill A Mockingbird? There was a nostalgic swing there, wasn't it? And wasn't there one in Renoir's Partie et Compagnie? Ray might have taken an inspiration from Renoir...Just Another Film Buffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17880550053788464732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8035434747786768960.post-91893350317713092152010-04-02T13:05:01.188+01:002010-04-02T13:05:01.188+01:00Thanks Coffee Messiah!

Sandra Oh jumping off the swings with a one-night stand in "Double Happiness" comes to mind, as does Richard Dreyfus' frustrated pleas to the skies in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" (I think that occurs at a swing-set).Bob Clarkhttp://www.designersdilemma.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
