I think the movie is great, and I think the Jamaican bobsled team rocks!\n\nBut my question is:\n\nWhat does your relationship with men have to do with the movie \nand/or bobsledding?

A Christian fish.  Its that little sorta fish looking symbol people have on their car bumpers.  It has to do with Jesus being a fisher of men.

I'm not sure if it's supposed to be significant but maybe it's supposed to symbolize change and movement.  You know, like life goes on, no matter what.  Earlier in the movie, he catches a feather and keeps it, so it's like he's letting it go free.

It's a documentary (narrated by Morgan Freeman) about emperor penguins and their yearly single-lined march across the harsh an inospitable Antarctica landscape until reach their breeding ground. I guess you accompany everything from courtship to the birth of baby penguins.\n\nDo you mean watching the movie to celebrate your birtday or getting a copy of the film as a birthday gift?\n\nEither way, if you're a fan of penguins, you're bound to like this movie. A friend of mine really liked it and he is only mildly interested in penguins.\n\nHope i can help, bye

The movie didn't have much popularity in main-stream showings but it was very popular as a "midnight movie" and in video rentals.  The viewers often saw the film many times rather than once.  And, as you mention, there are catch phrases exchanged by people who are "in the know".  This loyal legion of followers are refered to as a "cult".  (See dictionary definition on Yahoo: define cult).\n\nFor me, my favorites are "Shrimp Plate" and "Put it on a plate son".

It is a whale, I think it's a Blue Wheal. It is the largest and many times larger than an elephant, so just to move it's own weight it must me the strongest. It is a animal and not a fish.

The "stick sharpened at both ends" is a reference to what they did with the Lord of the Flies, impaling one end in the head and the other in the ground. This shows the brutality of what they planned to do to Ralph, who indeed felt like a pig being hunted by the savages. The fire set on the entire island shows the tribe's complete lack of foresight, as if they were not rescued, they would have no food or shelter. Ironically, the fire meant for evil started by Jack turned out to be what got the boys saved. The arrival of the Naval officer thus seems like a happy and ironic ending, but if one digs deeper it is just a continuation from one war to another. Once all the boys get on the Navy cruiser, they'll most likely just be subjected to more battle and fighting, this time on a worldwide level, due to the war taking place in the outside world.

It's a great book! I won't tell you but I'll give you some hints.\n\n1. It's one of the ten people on the island.\n2. Make sure you know what the term "red herring" means. (It's not just a fish!)\n3. Think about each character's profession and which one would have the most motivation to perform this scheme.\n4. Technically, the killer only kills 8 of the people on the island. Another character kills herself and one other person.\n5. If you read the play or watch the movie, it's the same person (although the name may be changed).

Santiago: Santiago is the protagonist of the novella. He is an old fisherman in Cuba who, when we meet him at the beginning of the book, has not caught anything for eighty-four days. The novella follows Santiago's quest for the great catch that will save his career. Santiago endures a great struggle with a uncommonly large and noble marlin only to lose the fish to rapacious sharks on his way back to land. Despite this loss, Santiago ends the novel with his spirit undefeated. Depending on your reading of the novel, Santiago represents Hemingway himself, searching for his next great book, an Everyman, heroic in the face of human tragedy, or the Oedipal male unconscious trying to slay his father, the marlin, in order to sexually possess his mother, the sea. \n\nManolin: Manolin is Santiago's only friend and companion. Santiago taught Manolin to fish, and the boy used to go out to sea with the old man until his parents objected to Santiago's bad luck. Manolin still helps Santiago pull in his boat in the evenings and provides the old man with food and bait when he needs it. Manolin is the reader's surrogate in the novel, appreciating Santiago's heroic spirit and skill despite his outward lack of success. \n\nSee the website for the rest:

I'm not going to be able to answer this in fullness at all but I'll let you know what I think about certain things.\n\nThe baseball cards - Simon gives the cards to Joe because they were his(Simon's) Favorite thing in the world.  He was trying to apologize for taking Joe's favorite thing in the world in the world...his mother.\n\nThe armadillo - After Simon gives Joe the cards, Joe realizes how upset and how bad Simon feels so he gives the armadillo to Simon, as a sign of forgiveness.\n\nThe deer - The deer was the instrument in showing everyone that Simon was here for a reason.  That he had survived for a reason.  His small stature and shrill voice gave him authority when it came to the smaller children and the small stature also allowed him to escape the bus when it slipped under water.  I'm not sure what the deer represents when it shows up the other 2 times though.\n\nJoe and Grandma - Definatley the part where we actually see the comforting loving side of her.  When she tells Joe that she won't be there forever and that she didn't know who his father was.\n\nJoe and Dad - It's sad to see Joe's reaction to finding out who his father was and denying it.  Joe's realization that it was true was when Simon confirmed it by finding the baseball, while searching for his cards.  I love the fact that Ben Goodrich adopts Joe in the end though.   During the movie I was hoping Ben was Joe's father, but I think the way they did it was better.\n\nI hope this helped in some way...maybe gave you a start.

The movie is nothing more than religious propaganda, and not as ineteresting as propaganda like "Passion of the Christ".  \n\nThe movie was pseudoscientific crap, full of deliberate lies and urban myths.\n\nThe scientists who appearded were all outraged at the way they were presented in that movie.\n\nBy all means watch it, but be aware that it is just a work of fiction intended to gain converts to a religion. Almost nothing they say is true or accurate.
