Description
I like the contrast between these two couples in the public garden near my home. One adds hand talking to words, the other is non-verbally communicating.
As I said yesterday, these conversations make me remember The Conversation. A film influenced by it was the successful, action packed movie Enemy of The State, which starred Hackman and Will Smith. Enemy of the State is a 1998 spy film directed by Tony Scott about a group of rogue NSA agents. A successful lawyer finds himself the target of a treacherous NSA official and his goons after receiving evidence to a politically motivated murder, the only man that can help him is a former government operative turned surveillance expert. As the movie opens, the legislature is close to passing legislation to expand surveillance powers of law enforcement agencies. Republican Congressman Phil Hammersly (Jason Robards, uncredited) is trying to stop the bill because he believes it is an invasion of privacy, while Thomas Reynolds (Jon Voight) is trying to push the bill through to confront growing terrorist threats against the U.S.--and advance his own career.
Here in Italy wiretapping is widespread and commonplace. It's also common to read the conversations on the papers, even the parts of those who have nothing to do with the investigation. Many decades ago people were paranoid about that, but now they look anesthetized. I remember some friends of mine who used to interrupt a phone conversation abruptly and state: 'Officer, don't listen to us, but worry about your wife who's cuckolding you', and then went on with the conversation. The first time one was shocked, but then it was fun, to act as if we were wiretapped.
Thank you for your kind comments.

Well caught. At least your investigators have the ability to track terrorists with more ease than ours do here in the USA.

Great contrast in communication! The nearest couple could be flirting, the second deep in emotion. Very nice Sandra, I remember that movie and yes wire tapping is a bane of our existence too:-)

Nicely captured sandra. My type of photo, people watching. Interesting comments on the films. People here in the US are overly concerned about their rights (in my opinion). But coming from Europe we were used to that!
