Indeed, but It was my mistake to post a memoriam of him I thought John Irving died......
I didn't like Rabbit that much, but I give the man a moderate respect for contributing to the art (as little as he may have done).
But I was talking about the film "Brazil" by Terry Gilliam a classic surreal dark-comedy greatly inspired by 1984.
