America on stage is sung by two different groups of Puerto Rican women, and the island is disparaged for a lot of it. For the movie,someone realized the Puerto Rican men had no song of their own, so they were given tye PR loving half of America as well as some truly biting lyrics

Finnegan became inpressed by Anthony Buzzard, never been way, which is the source of my comment. I am not aware of any other non-x-way connections with Finnegan. Buzzard's exposition against the Trinity put Wierwille's to shame. It also heavily influenced the One God/One Lord book by CES. Buzzard is likely responsible for Finnegan's eventual position that salvation can be recanted/revoked/lost or whatever you want to put as the word there. Buzzard's influence on me? The notion that The Word of God is not The Bible. Sharp fellow. I do not know if he still lives. He was a muckety muck with the Worldwide Church of God back when.

The overture lasts between four and five minutes. it features a screen that changes colors, with a pattern that, at the end, shows itself to be a representation of the southern tip of Manhattan. For those paying attention: that's not the West Side. West Side Story was directed by Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins, who shared the Best Director Oscar. Robbins never directed another movie. Wise went on to direct The Sound of Music, a musical about a woman named Maria. He also went on to direct Star Trek: The Motionless Picture, another movie in which long stretches of time pass with no actionor plot development. But I digress. George Chakiris and Natalie Wood, not Puerto Rican, were made up to look a little browner than mother nature granted them. Rita Moreno, who is Puerto Rican, was made up a shade or two to match them.

So in case ANYONE was wondering, the movie IS....?

my clues were FINE until you guessed the wrong musical!

i hate you

Neon is not a clue. Major neon sign only refers to how obvious the clue us. Four years after directing this movie, one of the directors went on to make The Sound of Music, which I did not identify by name. I identified it as A MUSICAL WHOSE LEAD FEMALE CHARACTER IS NAMED MARIA. Do You Need Flashcards?!?!

omg The name of the movie has been mentioned twice.

A black screen is incorrect, as noted. MUSIC IS CORRECT AND A MAJOR HINT. Four years later, one of the directors went on to direc A MUSICAL WHOSE LEAD FEMALE CHARACTER IS NAMED MARIA. Tha movie, correctly identified, is The Sound of Music. The clue is pointless if it is not a major neon sign hint. So what do we have: A movie whose opening minutes are nothing but a screen with a pattern, changing colors, with MUSIC in the background. Directed by a man who four years later DIRECTED A MUSICAL WHOSE LEAD FEMALE CHARACTER IS NAMED MARIA, which is The Sound of Music. (So what, unless... OH!!!!) And it features white actors 0laying characters who are non.... OH!!!! And the answer has already been given, once by Raf, which means... OH!!!! Duh!!!!!

Well, second time. I knew.

OMFG, will someone post the answer for a third time, realizing for the first time that it's the answer?

You guys are messing with me, right. I already gave you the answer! And I'm not the only one.

No. The facepalm when you figure it out is going to be epic. You already know the answer.

the screen is several colors -- one at a time -- for the first few minutes. It would be correct to call it the opening, but not the opening sequence. Because a sequence implies events. Nothing happens. There is a pattern on the screen during the opening, but you really cannot tell what it is until the title appears. Oddly enough, the pattern, once you realize what it is, has nothing to do with the title. By the way, I would give away the answer, but at this point that would be redundant.

Damn but he's so close. Never said the screen was black. And you misidentified the four-years-later musical. The musical from four years later was NOT West Side Story.

Is that your observation of the New York splinter? Because I see them opening their minds to people who left TWI before, people who left after, and people who have never been associated with New Knoxville. Conceivable we're both right in part, but I won't pretend to know what the totality of the circumstances would show.

When we left in 1989, the majority of NYers had a simple position: Changing the presidency of TWI would no longer be considered a solution because anyone who replaced LCM from within at that point would have been someone who bent the knee -- someone who chose LCM over JC. It's an interesting take that allowed us to exclude from serious consideration anyone who did not leave at the same time we did (Dubofsky, Lynn, Schoenheit, Graeser and others all left too soon. Everyone else, too late. My observation is that this temporary isolationism softened as the years passed. But at the time, it was an interesting dynamic

A one-dimensional approach (yours) to a multidimensional problem (actual errors in Genesis) does not get to be called complex by virtue of your declaration. There is nothing "three dimensional" about your approach, nor is there anything "two-dimensional" about the issues being raised here. One needs to look beyond the surface to recognize the inherent flaws in the absurd story told by Genesis. To pretend that your view is the one with depth is an insult to thinking people. Bolshevik: Sarah would have been in her 60s or 70s at the time of the incidents described. We haven't gotten there yet. But we will, assuming Conductor ThreadDerail doesn't insist on baffline us with more of his bulls hit as we progress down the tracks.

Gone With the Wind had one director. This movie had two.

one of my hints, by the way, is a great big neon sign giveaway hiding in plain sight.

Winner of 11 oscars. A great movie. But it is not this one.

To date, 3 movies have won more than 10 Oscars. 4 movies have won 9. This is the only movie to win exactly 10. Make up was used to get some of the actors to match the complexion of the ethnicity they were playing. And make up was used to get one actress to match the altered complexion of her co-stars, even though she actually WAS the ethnicity they were playing.

Incorrect. Think of a genre known for long openings where nothing happens ... NOT EVEN SCENERY. To be clear: No scenery, no dialogue, no credits... NO Characters Introduced. NOTHING!!! (Wait, one thing: The one thing missing from this list, which, once figured out, qualifies as a hint). Four years after he made this movie, one of the directors made another movie... a musical in which the lead female character was named Maria.

If you are suggesting the possibility that Adam and Eve actually existed in history because of quantum physics, I can't even finish that sentence. Come on. Quantum physics does not challenge what we know about history. That's not how it works. I suspect there was an element of comedy in your post, but considering the stupidity that some folks are actually trying to sell, it's hard to let a comment like that go.

TV broadcasts of this movie usually skip the first few minutes, which, to be honest, is no loss. The first few minutes feature no scenery, no dialogue, no credits... the movie's title doesn't even show up until several minutes in. That is where broadcasts typically start. The movie won for Best Direction at the Oscars. Two men shared the award. One never directed a movie before or since.
