State and Main


    State and Main is a wonderful film created by David Mamet. It has many memorable scenes and great lines. The film addresses a situation when Hollywood film makers invade a sleepy, country American town. The results of this occupation makes for clever humour.
    One of my favourite moments is when the lead female actress, Claire [sometimes referred to as The Broad by the film crew],  tries and fails to articulate her thoughts when she is upset, "Don't- Don't-Because I want to tell you something and I think you know what I mean."
    I think I do know what she is trying to say.
