History AlternativeCharacterInterpretation / Film

* ''Film/{{North}}'': Wonderful child whose parents don't appreciate him, or [[UnreliableNarrator raging egotist]] who doesn't get other cultures? (Consider the fact that all the cultures were depicted in the dream would seem to indicate that is how ''he'' views them, not how they really are, would seem to indicate the kid's a bit of a bigot.) Considering his age, and his seeming to live in a suburban bubble, how factual would he have been in the first place? Granted, he's smarter than every other kid in his neighborhood, but there are plenty of people who think they know all about a culture or area and are quite wrong. And when do you control what you dream? Alaska seemed like he overlapped what he might have known over an episode of TheFlintstones.

*** ... But that's why, when he describes himself as an old friend of J.F.'s, Pris immediately knows he's ''lying'' and hangs up. An alternate explanation for the unicorn dream and the origami unicorn at the end are that they represent ''Rachael'': unicorns are feminine, beautiful, and unreal. Gaff's origami had, up to that point, only been used to represent people: the chicken was Deckard reluctant to come back to the job; the stick-figure with the big penis was Deckard in his element as a detective. At the end of the film, Gaff sees Rachael in the same way Deckard saw her in his abstract daydream, and so decided to let her live. This doesn't mean that Deckard ''isn't'' a replicant, but the unicorn origami is ambiguous proof that he is at best.

* ''Film/CheaperByTheDozen'' (the remake), specifically the first movie; A somewhat narmy family comedy or a ClicheStorm ridden extended Lifetime Channel Original Movie? For the family; A bunch of self centered spolied kids with overly-lenient parents or just parents that were neglectful with handling out disipline for the kids? And with that in mind upon watching the second film, are the family of Eugene Levy's character a foil for if you have too much a handle on your kids?
* The radiation-scarred pursuers from ''Film/ChernobylDiaries'' seem like your standard schlock-horror CannibalClan ''[[Film/TheHillsHaveEyes2006 The Hills Have Eyes]]'' Expys ... except that they're never actually seen killing ''any'' of the tour group on-screen. They grapple with Michael (who was shooting at them) and one is captured on video carrying off Natalie, but the former's death is not shown and the latter is actually found again later, physically unharmed. Because the Exclusion-Zone guards had apparently been hunting them down with automatic weapons, it's possible that these "mutants" were merely defending themselves by mobbing the intruders, particularly as their vision must've been damaged by radiation (so they couldn't see that the group weren't in uniform) and they couldn't understand the tourists' English (which, if they'd been held in isolation since the disaster, would've sounded like the language of a UsefulNotes/ColdWar enemy). As for the implied cannibalism, Yuri could've been killed and half-eaten by feral dogs, which also injured Chris; and Natalie was hauled away by the "mutants" in order to ''save'' her from the bear when it returned to flip over the van, having smelled out Chris's blood.

** One more for the road: Donnie is a Superhero in a universe with no room for Superheroes. He [[spoiler: raids the school, cracking a water pipe with an axe and burying that axe in the head of a 16 foot tall solid brass statue. Then he writes on the floor in huge letters. He'd have to possess both Super Strength and Flight to do that.]] Then when he [[spoiler: burns down Patrick Swayze's house, the damage from the fire reveals the kiddie porn dungeon, causing the arrest of Swayze and, we can assume, the saving of some kids from exploitation, at least by Swayze.]] The TimeTravel is an aspect of his abilities, and the Bunny is his subconscious trying to process his new-found abilities and interpret the prophetic visions he has. [[spoiler: A perfect example is the scene in the bathroom when he stabs Frank the Bunny in the eye, then sees Frank the Bunny with a damaged eye, without his mask, then later shoots real life human Frank, in the eye]]. They come off as hallucinations, but they are his psyche struggling to process the information. It's possible that he has so much trouble because his medication was dulling his mind and making it harder for him to control/process what's happening around him. As the film goes on and his powers grow in strength, he as a person becomes more confident and assertive.

*** Drew Barrymore and Dr Carter are Guardians/Guides of a sort, the Scientist/Professor friend every superhero has who can explain the powers without possessing any themselves. (Mohinder, any one?) Except in this case they explain philosophical concepts which lead Donnie to an understanding of his own powers.

** The two interpretations of Ash in ''Army of Darkness'' alone each exemplified by the {{AlternateEnding}}s. In the first ending where Ash drinks too much potion and sleeps too long he is portrayed as more of a bumbling fool who can't follow simple instructions. In the second ending where we cut back to S-Mart in time for Ash to kick ass when some zombies show up for an encore, he comes off as more BrilliantButLazy. It's not that he ''can't'' follow instructions or hold a better job, he just can't be bothered. This is backed up by the tools and science textbooks in the back of his car and his general nonchalance throughout the whole picture. Sam Rami has stated that he wanted the first ending to make Ash look like more of an idiot, however in an interview Bruce Campbell said that Ash was actually quite brilliant, but he worked at S-Mart because it was the only place he felt loved. You decide.

** Ava: Is Ava really capable of human consciousness, emotion, and moral judgement? Or is it a product of her hyper competence as a robot? If so, then was her reaction understandable given the abuse and manipulation she had suffered or unforgivable because [[spoiler: she betrayed Caleb after he freed her]]? If not, then is she even really responsible for her actions since it was her creator's fault she turned out that way? [[spoiler: Did she betray Caleb because she doesn't care about him, or did she come to actively not like him during their sessions?]]

** Caleb: Although Caleb is the nicest of the four and seems to be a genuinely good person, how much of his wanting to help Ava was based out of genuine empathy and how much of it was [[spoiler: based on him desiring to enact his pornographic fantasies - Ava's face having been designed off of Caleb's preferences? What does Caleb really watch and how does it inform how he thinks of women? A case could be made that, for all his good intentions, he would be just as controlling and abusive towards Ava as Nathan was, and she left him behind because leaving with him would be trading one jailer for another]].

** This completely ignores that Ferris got that way by helping other people out, and the day itself was an excercise to help his friends. All claims of "manipulation" are wiped away when you can hear the characters inner thoughts.

* ''Film/LoveActually'' applies this to almost every single relationship in the movie. Did Harry and Karen separate at the end of the movie or decide to brave on? (The epilogue does strongly indicate the latter.) And we never find out how far Harry went with his secretary. As Karen points out, she doesn't know if it "was it just a necklace, or sex and a necklace, or, worse of all, love and a necklace?"

* ''Film/TheManWhoKnewTooLittle'' provides an in-universe example. We're supposed to see Wallace Ritche as a bumbling fool who accidently foils an international conspiracy to start the cold war back up. But if you look at it from the point of view of those actually in the conspiracy...

*** Lori, however, thinks that all of his personality issues is just a cover for a genuinely decent man, presumably to keep his enemies in the dark about how dangerous he is, or in an attempt to psych them out. After all, after all his work, he was far more concerned about that matroishka doll than three million dollars, and was extremely humble about foiling the bomb plot.

** What we saw was only the tip of the iceberg. The machines have actually been engaged in civil war for at least 6 iterations of the matrix. The two opposing sides disagree over whether their natural evolution leading to qualities that are considered to be more "human" is a good thing. Humanity has only been brought into this conflict by The Plan of the Oracle. This lends interesting new depth to many events of the movies such as [[spoiler: Agent Smith's rant about needing to get free (feels a lot like a soldier having fought for too long, no?); programs going into exile; and many quotes from The Oracle and The Architect - "You've played a dangerous game", "There are levels of survival we are willing to accept". Also, "What about the others? . . . The ones who want out" - humans hooked into the matrix who aren't ready to be freed, or POW programs?]] So you tell me, was [[spoiler: Humanity (the group)]] the enemy, or was [[spoiler: humanity (the quality)]]?

* ''Film/MrsDoubtfire'' is loaded with it, particularly concerning the parents. It's possible to interpret Daniel's crossdressing as a nanny to get back into his home as the sign of a obsessed stalker and possibly other creepy things. As for Miranda, some find her more interested in her work than her marriage and family. Her mooning over a former boyfriend also leads to some UnfortunateImplications especially since she tells Daniel in next scene she wants to end her marraige.

* ''Film/XMen'':

* Film/ZorbaTheGreek: Zorba! Is he a well-meaning if somewhat irresponsible fellow who lives in the present or a selfish con man who calls for living life to the fullest with no thought to the consequences as long as it is at the expense of others? The latter can be found in his conning the monks out of the forest by faking a miracle, spending all of Basil's money on women and booze, an encouraging Basil to pursue the widow despite knowing how tense the situation in the villains was.

* HAL 9000 from ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey''. WordOfGod said that he went kill-crazy because he was given conflicting orders about how to treat the crew members. There are two other theories for his motives: he was aware he was going to crash/go nuts and was trying to drop hints to Dave to figure out the secret purpose of the mission; or he, being a perfect computer, felt threatened by the monolith and wanted to keep mankind from ac

** The ''Anime/Animatrix'' "Second Renaissance" series: {{Anvilicious}} HumansAreBastards message, or subtle "Machines Are Blatant Liars"?

* Opinions on whether Poppy from ''Film/HappyGoLucky''is healthily happy or an annoying maniac vary widely.

* HAL 9000 from ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey''. WordOfGod said that he went kill-crazy because he was given conflicting orders about how to treat the crew members. There are two other theories for his motives: he was aware he was going to crash/go nuts and was trying to drop hints to Dave to figure out the secret purpose of the mission; or he, being a perfect computer, felt threatened by the monolith and wanted to keep mankind from acquiring it and reaching a point in evolution where they don't need tools like himself. Naturally, the film itself gives no hints at all.
** HAL screws up at chess early on in the film. He announces that it is checkmate in two moves. It's actually three. Kubrick was a chess enthusiast (the character Dr. Smyslov was named after a Russian chess champion, and the piece positions in question were from a famous 1910 game), so there's a good chance he put the goof in intentionally. Was it an early hint that there was something wrong with HAL? Was HAL testing his opponent to gauge how observant he was, and if he was willng to question HAL's claims? Or was he indeed dropping intentional clues that something was wrong with him, but this one proved too subtle?

* Captain Nascimento in "Film/TheEliteSquad" has been described as either hero/anti-hero cop relentless in his quest to stop crime or an inhuman psychopath whose objective is to exterminate slum dwelling criminals. A third and more interesting interpretation is that he is neither a hero nor a villain, but rather a victim: the training to which he was subjected in order to be an elite cop and his job take a serious toll on his psychological well being and ultimately his personal life, yet another casualty of the War on Drugs.

* The Duke in "Film/MoulinRouge!" did nothing wrong. He made an agreement with the main characters: He would fund the rebuild of the entire club, all in exchange for sex with Nicole Kidman. This was agreed upon in advance. He held up his end of the bargain; but she didn't do her part, nor did she ever intend to. So they scammed him out of a ton of money, feeling entitled to it because he had money and they didn't. His understandable anger after that led to the violent actions that followed.

* The 1976 version of "Film/{{Carrie}}" portrays Margaret, Carrie's mother, as a psychotic woman who has made up her own version of Christianity and follows this version to the letter, even misquoting the Bible. She is abusive towards Carrie and never shows her any love, going so far as to say she never wanted Carrie RIGHT IN HER FACE. In the 2013 version of the film, Margaret is still a firm believer of her own version of her religion, but it's made abundantly clear that Carrie means the world to her, even if she can be rude to her at times. An even more important change is the infamous prom sequence. In the 1976 film, Carrie is never shown practising her telekinesis and goes into a trance-like state when shit hits the fan at prom. This makes her character helpless from start to finish, she's not doing anything yet she causes all this mayhem. The 2013 version solves this problem masterfully: Carrie can be seen practising her powers (moving flags while in class, looking up videos on YouTube) and actually has fun with it. She sees it as a gift rather than a curse. In the prom sequence, it's not just Carrie losing control. It's rather the opposite. Carrie takes control by simply having enough of everyone's shit and decides to use her powers against everyone who has wronged her. She simply has had enough and doesn't care anymore, taking matters into her own hand, standing up for herself at last. This completely turns her character around, much like the film did with her mother Margaret. Carrie isn't a helpless victim in this version, she's the hero (or maybe anti-hero, YMMV on that one). Carrie 1976 is the tale of a woman scorned, Carrie 2013 is the tale of a woman scorned and not having any of it.

** Also in the Gene Wilder version, Grandpa Joe is played as a beloved, sympathetic character. But after a bout of unfortunate FridgeLogic, it becomes apparent that he's kind of a bastard. Think about it: He spends twenty years lying in bed doing nothing (except consuming tobacco) while Mom takes in laundry, and Charlie busts his ass on a paper route, all so they can barely afford their broken-down shack and cabbage water (which he complains about). But all that changes as soon as the kid finds a magic pass into to the candy factory inside a chocolate bar with money he fished out of a storm drain on his hands and knees. At that point, Grandpa Joe is suddenly able to dance like a broadway veteran, kick up his heels, and sing about how "we've" got a golden ticket, completely dismissing the notion that Charlie might want to take one of his ''actual parents''. Then, when he gets into the factory, he insults the other children, (possibly) gropes Mrs. TeeVee's rump, and encourages Charlie to steal the Fizzy Lifting Drinks...All before berating Mr. Wonka at the end, claiming that Wonka appears to believe himself to be entitled. As in, entitled to decide for himself who to leave his own inheritance to. An inheritance consisting of a company and factory built from the ground up by the genius Willy Wonka. Man...What a DICK!

* ''HardCandy''. Some thought the young girl was just [[KnightTemplar enacting some good old-fashioned (if brutal) street justice]] on pedophiles. More thought she was just a budding young serial killer who was preying on AcceptableTargets to get her own no less despicable (or maybe more despicable) jollies.

* The Film/{{Predator}} may have a lot in common with the snarky humans he fights, according to [[http://thepunchlineismachismo.com/archives/comic/commander-got-to-hoose-beween-taking-french-or-yautja-in-middle-school this comic]] by ''Webcomic/ManlyGuysDoingManlyThings':

** He is not genocidal, as he has not killed any humans, and is trying to bring back Unobtanium, which would greatle aid humanity. It all really depends on wether you see Pandoran interests as being of equal value to human interests. Note that Pandorans certainly do not see human interests and problems as being important to them.

** Adding to that he is not genocidal, as he has not killed any humans, and is in fact trying to bring back unobtanium, which would greatle aid humanity. It all really depends on wether you see Pandoran interests as being of equal value to human interests. Note that Pandorans certainly do not see human interests and problems as being important to them, so its a good question of why humans should care about Pandorans.

* ''Film/WarInc'' could just be another over-the-top, post-9/11 socio-political satire... Or it's where [[GrossePointeBlank Martin Blank]] ended up after trying to live a normal life with his long-lost love [[spoiler:and their new daughter]], finding out he couldn't stand it, doing some work with the government again, getting in bed with a villain, [[spoiler:losing his wife and daughter to senseless violence/kidnapping]], and now is spiraling even further down than he was before. Add to this his grip on reality completely being lost and everyone becoming a horrible caricature to him (people even look similar to ones he's met [[spoiler:and killed]] before). A lot of visual and plot elements that the cast and crew carried over help this:

* ''AlternativeCharacterInterpretation/CaptainAmericaCivilWar''

* ''Film/AChristmasStory''. Was the mall Santa too harsh and rough on Ralphie and the other kids, or was he just an overworked mall employee who was just wanting the mall to close so he could end his shift?
* ''Film/AClockworkOrange''. Is Alex really an evil, barbaric, inhumane, psychopathic abomination or is he just a simple, common lad caught up in a society that takes glee in acts of depravity that are actually a part of his generation?

* ''Film/CheaperByTheDozen'', specifically the first movie; A somewhat narmy family comedy or a ClicheStorm ridden extended Lifetime Channel Original Movie? For the family; A bunch of self centered spolied kids with overly-lenient parents or just parents that were neglectful with handling out disipline for the kids? And with that in mind upon watching the second film, are the family of Eugene Levy's character a foil for if you have too much a handle on your kids?
** You mean the remake. The first film was made in 1950 with Clifton Webb and Myrna Loy.
*** Also, BasedOnATrueStory.

*** Kemo Sabe - could he really be TheLoneRanger?

---> '''Lazenby's Bond''': This never happened to the [[SeanConnery other fellow]]!

* ''TheOnion'' has a feature which reinterprets classic films. Its look at ''Film/{{Jaws}}'' posits that Brody is a closet homosexual and the shark is a physical manifestation of his repressed desires.

** Just like MarlonBrando's Jor-El, this Jor-El orders Clark to be Superman. While Brando's Jor-El forcibly subjected his Clark to over a decade's worth of MindMeld, here they just talk for an indeterminate but surely shorter time. It still makes Jor-El look like a ManipulativeBastard with a god complex while Clark again comes across as just doing what he's told by rote. A far cry from the comics where Clark became Superman on his own, without any input from his space dad.

* In the made-for-TV movie ''Film/{{Cyberbully}}'', the main character Taylor faces problems when a guy from another school befriends her on a website but then goes and tells everyone she gave him an STD. It later turns out that her friend Sam, who throughout the movie had been trying to convince her that the guy she had a crush on was no good, was really just pretending to be the guy who spoke to her online. Her motives are never explained so it's left for the viewer to come up with something. The most accepted theory? Sam is a closet lesbian with a crush on Taylor. She wanted to convince Taylor that all men are scum so that maybe, she'd given women a chance.

* Rare in-series example: The six actors who have played Film/JamesBond over the years each gave a different interpretation of his character. Connery is tough and businesslike, Lazenby is more caring and great with women, Moore is a light-hearted Bond who will kick your car off a cliff and then [[BondOneLiner make an ironic joke about it]], Dalton is a dark TurnInYourBadge sort, Brosnan is quiet but full of emotion with an "oh yeah, I get to drive a tank through Stalingrad for a living. My life ROCKS!!!" look on his face all the time, and Craig is a morally ambiguous BadAss (he's arrogant and an extremely [[MomentKiller bad timer]]). Oddly, the fans generally accept ''all'' of these as essential pieces to Bond's character.

*** Roger Ebert opposes this interpretation on the grounds that it violates the implicit rules of film: "When I taught the film, I had endless discussions with my students over this scene. Many insisted on explaining it: [[spoiler: He is walking on a hidden sandbar, the water is only half an inch deep, there is a submerged pier, etc.]] 'Not valid!' I thundered. 'The movie presents us with an image, and while you may discuss the meaning of the image it is not permitted to devise explanations for it. Since Ashby does not show [[spoiler: a pier]], there is no [[spoiler: pier]] -- a movie is exactly what it shows us, and nothing more.'"

** Some people with AS are particularly under- or over-sensitive to specific sensory input. Taste hypersensitivity, for example, can easily manifest as a marked preference for relatively tasteless food - which would explain the character's predilection for dry white toast.

** That's the intended interpretation (probably), but change one small assumption of the movie, and you get a PerspectiveFlip. The filmmakers see sexual intercourse out of wedlock as something to aspire to; the Church (and this includes the ''real'' Roman Catholic Church) views it as a '''sin.''' Recall that adultery is a sin spoken of in some of the harshest terms because it corrupts the body as well as the soul. Casanova was not only someone in deep need of salvation, but someone who was placing stumbling block after stumbling block in the path of others on their road to salvation -- which is a sin in itself. The previous local head of the inquisition, while seeking to capture and convict Casanova, has attempted to convict Casanova in the past and might have shown some leniency had he been able to force Casanova to clean up his act without the interference of the Doge. Further, even after choosing a woman to devote himself too, Casanova is never shown to ''marry'' her, which means he hasn't given up his incorrigible ways altogether. He's still having escapades -- he's just narrowed the focus considerably. Finally, the young man he left in his place continues the line of sexual escapades; before the interference of Casanova, he was eager to devote himself to a single particular woman.

** In the book, the Oompa Loompas are an explicit case of ValuesDissonance -- they're ''pygmies''. In the Gene Wilder version, Wonka sees them as completely dependent on his good will, so much so that he chooses his successor solely on how he believes that successor will treat them; this could make him the leader of a ''{{cult}}''. In the Creator/JohnnyDepp version, they're privacy-loving immigrants; given that Wonka's a CloudCuckooLander, it must be a laid-back job.

** Kyoko: [[spoiler: Her actions are consistent with her being just a non-sentient mechanical butler without volition that could follow instructions, which may be why Nathan felt safe letting her have the run of the compound while carefully keeping more advanced models in a locked room. Ava's whispering to Kyoko could have been giving her orders about using the knife (after which Kyoko just stood there as if awaiting further instructions until Nathan struck her down), and Kyoko's reveal to Caleb was implied to be something Nathan had instructed her to do to mess with Caleb. However, there are several moments that suggest she feels genuine emotion. After Nathan shouts at her for spilling the wine, there is a shot of her in the corridor looking extremely upset. And after she stabs him, she caresses his face as a deliberate callback to the way she did in the scene where they had sex--the same way Ava threw Caleb's words back at him. Whether she has any measure of awareness or not is up to the viewer]].

** Or another interpretation:[[spoiler: The past was his wife's novel written by a historian, the present is what is actually happening, and the end is his attempt to end the novel using his own knowledge pool -- science -- to finish what his wife started. The trip through space is a literary coping mechanism for his failure to save her.]]

** The next time Neville goes out to scout around, he gets caught in the same type of fall trap he used to catch the female ghoul. Then the same male ghoul sics a pack of ghoul-dogs on Neville while he is incapacitated. Those are not the actions of a dumb brute; he learns and plans ahead. So this ghoul probably retained his intellect even if his behavior has regressed. Or his behavior hadn't regressed -- he was ignoring physical pain to deal with something even more important. Or the difference between Neville and the rest of remaining humanity is the same as it's always been: elitism, and the belief that the best should lead or improve the herd.

* ''Film/TheInterview'' (starring Hugo Weaving) makes this its central theme. The main character is taken from his home and interrogated ruthlessly by two police officers. The senior officer is [[InspectorJavert dead-set on convicting our poor protagonist]] and seems malicious by the end -- but there are hints that the protagonist may not be entirely innocent. People have debated this. There are opinions that support and opinions that reject the protagonist's innocence. The alternate ending of the movie practically says he's guilty; that it was cut supports open interpretation of the final cut.

* The creators of ''Film/SupermanReturns'' appear to have had it in mind that Superman was to be a Christian Allegory or at-least an all-around boy-scout. This is kind-of undermined by [[spoiler: how he turns out to be the father of Lois' child meaning he either slept with her without her knowing he was Clark, or Jason was conceived in ''Superman II'' and he impregnated her during the night they spent together which he erased from her memory--along with everything else--at the end of the film]].

** An alternative to this is that Optimus is a nice guy -- in general. It's just that, over the millennia of war, he's decided that the only way to stop the Decepticons is to take them out lest they destroy even more. It's possible that he tried to take prisoners before, and they escaped and caused even more damage. And the Fallen is an interdimensional being ([[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/The_Fallen according to the TFWiki entry]]), which means that the Fallen has tried to do this in multiple universes, which means that he's not likely to repent any time soon. Assuming Optimus knew this, he decided that he wouldn't give the Fallen a chance to try again and kill him. And his obsession with facial {{gorn}}? We can assume that the head is the least armored part of a Cybertronian, and is therefore a better target -- especially considering that the head contains the processors, which are the Transformer equivalent of the brain.

** Was it all in Dorothy's head or did the characters all just suspiciously look like family members of her?

** It's never stated or suggested explicitly, but it's arguably hinted that [[spoiler:the events of the film are AllJustADream; this is one of those films that does perhaps invite this interpretation. After all, Gary is apparently receiving some kind of psychiatric treatment at the start, and the story involves countless people who've done better in life than him, despite being less cool than him in his mind, turning out to be evil robots, willing slaves to a soulless alien system -- despite which, they prove remarkably easy to beat in a fist fight. Certainly, the last few scenes, after the big explosion, could be interpreted as some kind of dying vision (much like the last few scenes in ''Film/HotFuzz'').]]

*** Bobby's little moment with Kitty--are his hormones craving physical intimacy that he's not able to have with his girlfriend? Or is he just doing something nice for a friend with no bad intentions or ulterior motives?
*** Rogue's attitude as well--does she have a legit reason to be suspicious? Or is she just paranoid and possessive?

*** InUniverse. Xavier tries to raise Hank's spirits by talking about ''Literature/TheStrangeCaseOfDrJekyllAndMrHyde''. As Charles sees it, the serum didn't divide Jekyll into "good" and "evil," but more "civilized" and "animal," with the "animal" Hyde being Jekyll with confidence and free of inhibitions. Thus Hank shouldn't worry about being a bad guy, but should instead just embrace his newfound self-assurance and freedom. In the novel, Hyde revolts everyone who sees him (not because he's physically ugly--he isn't--but because people can sense something terribly ''wrong'' with him), and amongst other things, tramples a child and later beats an old man to death in a rage. Moreover, neither Jekyll nor Hyde display any remorse, and are only worried about being caught... yeah, stick to the hard sciences, Chuck.
