A ‘Crying’ Shame

I’m one of those movie fans who have been asking friends about “The Crying Game,” having found it fascinating and exciting that no one will reveal the “secret” in the film.

Usually some one will blow it, just to show some sort of arrogant attitude, as if to gain pleasure like someone jumping in and blurting out the punch line to a favorite joke. While reading Calendar I was shocked to learn the “Crying Game” secret and felt very betrayed. I was stunned that someone in the media would blab. A real cheap way to fill a paragraph.

I hope Jane Galbraith enjoyed the film’s “secret,” though she spoiled that moment for many readers.
