Watched a very good foreign language film last night that was really quite excellent, though I could truly have wish that I'd understood more of what was said in the movie.

The movie's title is "The Dish", which is about an Australian Radio Astronomy Dish near the town of Parkes out in the middle of sheep pastures. The story involves the dish's seminal roll, through various trials and tribulations, in receiving the faint signals from Apollo 11 thus allowing the televised broadcast of Man's first landing and setting foot on the Moon!

Unfortunately, much of the dialog was incomprehensible because it was mostly all in AUSTRALIAN!!!     ;c)
"Information is not knowledge, Knowledge is not wisdom, Wisdom is not truth, Truth is not beauty, Beauty is not love, Love is not music: Music is THE BEST...   
Wisdom is the domain of the Wis (which is extinct). Beauty is a French phonetic corruption of a short cloth neck ornament currently in resurgence..."
