Christopher Reeve's best film, by Chris Prochownik

I never met Christopher Reeve, but always admired him and especially after his activist activities since his tragic accident.  Most knew him as Superman, and that he was!

However, a film that was by far his best actually did badly at the box office in 1980.  Somewhere in Time with co-star Jane Seymour suffered because of bad publicity and timing.  They did a general broad release and without publicity it failed and was quickly pulled from theaters.  A decade later, it developed a cult through the DVD release.

I first saw the film on HBO and loved it right off.  It became one of my top five films.  The story was very original, and he fit the character to the tee.  They picked the perfect setting for the film off in Lake Michigan where no motor cars allowed making the filming of the turn of last century more real.  Costumes were excellent and well researched.

A film that will last everywhere in time.

Christopher Walken and Other Film Villians

Christopher Walken is arguably a notorious evil villain as well as a quirky character of film.  His roles in The Deer Hunter, Pulp Fiction to name a few are well portrayed and show tremendous acting ability and range.

His parents had a home a block away from one of my childhood winter home.  I have met him on a few occasions and he is a very interesting person to talk with.  I had considered him for the lead role in the full feature film of Journey's End to play the commander.  He has a striking German resemblance and has the right character to pull it off.

If it were not for the large over budget and health problems, coupled with other minor problems, I would have gone on to make this project a reality.

Intelligence and Holocaust Deniers

I am not a Jew, nor are my best friends or relatives.  I have no benefit or hidden agenda one way or the other supporting/disproving the fact of the Holocaust.

I have completed extensive research (on Location), interviewed eye witnesses, both Jews and Gentiles.  I have interviewed Polish political prisoners, watched countless video interviews, talked with several civilians who remember what the German SS did here in Kraków and in Auschwitz.

I have read a few, very rude and ignorant comments on YouTube (by mostly Americans) that have never set foot outside their country, making statements based upon hate that the Holocaust didn't exist.  It makes me wonder why they bother to say such things with no credible support.  Ignoring the mound of forensic evidence in pictures, eye witness accounts in video and written reports, both from the SS, German military, Allied military, Russian military, civilians, non Jews and Jews.  To believe that thousands are/were  conspiring with thousands of Jews to falsely proclaim an injustice defies logic.  It puzzles me how these people can believe that so many people would make things up on such a grand scale as to what they saw happen and collaborate the same story line.

It is really sad that there is still so much hate and ignorance in the world.
