My mother and I watched Elia Kazan's On the Waterfront (1954) recently and I think our reaction to the film, as spoken to each other when the film ended, pretty much sums up our experience.
Mom: "Wow!"
Me: "Wow! Eso fue una buena pelicula!!!" (Wow! That was a great movie!)
Mom: "Raquel! Yo ni me dormi!!!" (Raquel! I didn't even fall asleep!)
