Almost single-handedly he pioneered features of socio-political import which had the look and feel of documentary, but made more accessible by including story and character. e.g. there would never have been Platoon, or Saving Private Ryan if Pontecorvo hadn't done his thing. Who'll fill Gillo's shoes? [/quote]    -  HTML is OFF | Forum Code is ON   Check here to include your profile signature.
