Is this where the name of the Iron Maiden song came from?

[lirioevan]

@slickster1993 Yes, Iron Maiden, before being a heavy metal group, are cultivated :)

[codsniper06]

[MangoTie]

Navy SEALS and Army Rangers must not be real men.

real man dont run. real men lift weights

@MrAmericanrebel I'm not so sure I as a young woman would agree. I along with most of my friends find gym rats repulsive and ridiculous. Their attitude in the gym reflects personality. I'm in love with tall lean fit men who I can run with, hike with, bike with and much, much more in the ways of excellent cardio. I'm a 2 time marathoner and mountain trail runner and all the "meat heads" think it's so easy. I love taking the guys who think that out with me and see them die after 1 mile!

[MrAmericanrebel]

@somuchbeautyindirt3 Nice I'm training for a marathon myself

[somuchbeautyindirt3]

@MrAmericanrebel But I thought you said real men don't run? Regardless, best of luck to you! Keep a positive mind and just have fun with it! Where's about are you running the marathon? (If I may ask).

[bjrqiup]

That might be the worst form I've ever seen....hah

[nuwavghost]

The running sequence a bit reminiscent of the final running shots of Truffaut's Les Quatre Cents Coups.

[mattttttti]

@nuwavghost

not sure I fully agree as the context is rather different

but those are 2 amazing films on freedom and "childhood"

[ARDENTIZZY]

This was a great film . Thanks for posting the trailer ..

[miravesna]

Can anyone understand how much an other one can love this movie?

[lizclegg]

@miravesna I don't understand your message, and I haven't seen the full film, but I can say that I love Alan Sillitoe's novella very much

[miravesna]

@lizclegg

I mean - simply loneliness.

I love the book too -in my own way, by me own experience with loneliness - that make me respect some other´s one and also his own way of loving this movie-book due to his own experience.
