There are people standing up in <br>front while the film is shown. And if that is what the Korea Film <br>Council has gotten, then it is *for sure* not a copy of the original <br>1901 film whatsoever, and not a FULL version of the 1901 plus the <br>1912 films either ... as I pointed out at the end of my last posting. <br>Also, some if the scenes were not from 1901 but from 1912 while other <br>scenes that we know must still exist (as they were copied into the <br>1922 movie) were not at all in that clip.<br><br>Best,<br>Frank<br><br>-- <br>--------------------------------------<br>Frank Hoffmann<br><a href="http://koreaweb.ws">http://koreaweb.ws</a><br><br></div></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
