Brief revision of the major differences between Sommersby and Le Retour de Martin Guerre in order to make the former a great movie rather than something that respects reality.
Showing of scenes from Chinatown to explain how names are repeated multiple times in the original dialogue soundtrack but often cut out int he subtitles. Explaining that it is never too much to use names.
Subtext: "sex scene" in Chinatown is really an innocent case of a woman helping a man clean a wound on his nose.
Subtext: in Cape Fear the game of squash between the male protagonist and a "co-worker" is really the same as them having sex. (Or perhaps worse)
Explanation of linguistic avoidance: "freaking" in order not to say "fucking" -- in the end society understands that they are just the same.
