I don`t think Mr Lean kill anything, the best support of an artist is, as I think, that he (or she) can explain his work. I always apreciate the artist who know what they want to do, the artist who have complete ideas, not only images or good taste.
I agree. the mystery of the caves remains, the darkness, the echo...what did Mrs Moore and Miss Quested meet in the caves? who knows...the unspeakable, as someone said below. the spell of India reveals itself to their rational souls, and something breaks inside them, to the point that Adela has an hallucination, and Mrs Moore dies some time after it. Forster himself gave different explanations about what the caves meant...
Of course explaining it somewhat destroys the magic, but Lean is such a charismatic orator it's a pleasure in itself to hear his meticulous dissection of the scene.
funny. Having it spelled out somehow kills the magic. The cave sequence is of course quite beyond words, mesmerisingly clever editing and cinematography. Touches on the unspeakable...the very unthinkable...
Agreed. Also, my all time favourite film= Ryans Daughter. But seeing the luvvies behind it, and the cliquey club of actors, directors, scriptwriters and their wives (who were lucky to be cast as.....leading ladies) spoils it a tad. Shouldn't-it stands alone as good and he is the man
My favorite film director of all time. What a great movie, film score and acting by the principles. Thanks for this!

brilliantly rationalized, and clear in its theory. Shines a more realistic and less mystical light on the book.
