for example?

That's right. Most french speaking students or colleagues I know,
whereever they come from, fall in love with Juillet Binoche. And this
phenomena is very similar to the one I know from Asia: most girls are
in love with Tom Cruise. I remember seeing at least in the offices of
two secretaries in AIT (Patpong, BKK) pictures of Tom Cruise from Top
Gun.

Thanh: I think if you dont like Rain man, it's your problem :-) There
are not so many films I saw which I felt the sense and the love of
humain as deep as in Rain Man. I just listened to the film theme in
Rain Man yesterday night. It was great (Composer: Zimmer). There is
something reminding me about the music from a vietnam mountainous
region: Ta^y nguyen.
