Plot [link]
A small boy runs as fast as he can through a pitch-dark forest. Blinded by fear, the kid runs across a forest road without seeing the trailer truck coming. The truck misses the boy, with the driver starting to lose control of the vehicle. This triggers a chain reaction that leaves another boy without his family, who are killed when the trailer crashes into their car.
After his mother's death, KK (Kai Koss) returns to his hometown to settle her affairs. He has been away for 19 years, trying to escape and forget about his mother's cruel treatment of him. He soon realizes that he can't outrun his past. The film revolves around two boys, unknown to one another, yet a tragic accident brings them together.
The night of the accident was the night KK finally attempted to escape his mother's abuse and was running through the woods. At the same time, Peter's parents had pulled over to the side of the road for their young son to take a leak. While running from his mother, KK darts out onto a narrow road in front of an oncoming mack truck. The truck misses him but hits the car Peter's parents are in. After jumping out of the truck's way, KK is devastated, realizing he caused the accident. His eyes meet Peter's across the trees. Poor Peter stands there traumatized, as the flames eat away at his parents' bodies. KK then proceeds to escape his mother, who is chasing him.
Years later, he returns to deal with his mother's death and her deteriorating house. He had suppressed most of what happened that night. He finally remembers that when he jumped back into the woods out of the truck's way and stood there staring at Peter, he had witnessed his mother give up chasing him—only to grab Peter, as if to help him. KK now realizes that after his escape, his mother had another child to mentally & physically torment. She had thrown Peter's shoes by a huge waterfall to make the police think he ran off the cliff in the dark, then held young Peter captive for years. KK sees the shoes and realizes the shoestrings are tied exactly the way his mother had taught him to tie his shoes.
KK then remembers that in the forest, his evil mother had knelt down to help Peter tie his shoes while pretending to console him. The fact that KK caused the death of this missing boy's parents and ruined Peter's life was secondary to the fact that even worse: he kept his mouth shut about the missing boy's whereabouts and didn't even bother to go back to rescue Peter from his sick, abusive mother after all these years.
KK thought murdering Peter would be a better alternative than to let Peter suffer any longer in the state his evil mother left him in, nor would Peter have to pay for the monstrous crimes, with the police so close to realizing he still lives. With all this in play, it would also free KK from any guilt he suffered at having a hand, along with his mother, at ruining poor Peter's entire life.

Film (film)
Film is a 1965 film written by Samuel Beckett, his only screenplay. It was commissioned by Barney Rosset of Grove Press. Writing began on 5 April 1963 with a first draft completed within four days. A second draft was produced by 22 May and a forty-leaf shooting script followed thereafter. It was filmed in New York in July 1964.
Beckett’s original choice for the lead – referred to only as “O” – was Charlie Chaplin, but his script never reached him. Both Beckett and the director Alan Schneider were interested in Zero Mostel and Jack MacGowran. However, the former was unavailable and the latter, who accepted at first, became unavailable due to his role in a "Hollywood epic." Beckett then suggested Buster Keaton. Schneider promptly flew to Los Angeles and persuaded Keaton to accept the role along with "a handsome fee for less than three weeks' work."James Karen, who was to have a small part in the film, also encouraged Schneider to contact Keaton.
The filmed version differs from Beckett's original script but with his approval since he was on set all the time, this being his only visit to the United States. The script printed in Collected Shorter Plays of Samuel Beckett (Faber and Faber, 1984) states:
Lubrication theory
In fluid dynamics, lubrication theory describes the flow of fluids (liquids or gases) in a geometry in which one dimension is significantly smaller than the others. An example is the flow above air hockey tables, where the thickness of the air layer beneath the puck is much smaller than the dimensions of the puck itself.
Internal flows are those where the fluid is fully bounded. Internal flow lubrication theory has many industrial applications because of its role in the design of fluid bearings. Here a key goal of lubrication theory is to determine the pressure distribution in the fluid volume, and hence the forces on the bearing components. The working fluid in this case is often termed a lubricant.
Free film lubrication theory is concerned with the case in which one of the surfaces containing the fluid is a free surface. In that case the position of the free surface is itself unknown, and one goal of lubrication theory is then to determine this. Surface tension may then be significant, or even dominant. Issues of wetting and dewetting then arise. For very thin films (thickness less than one micrometre), additional intermolecular forces, such as Van der Waals forces or disjoining forces, may become significant.
List of film periodicals
Film periodicals combine discussion of individual films, genres and directors with in-depth considerations of the medium and the conditions of its production and reception. Their articles contrast with film reviewing in newspapers and magazines which principally serve as a consumer guide to movies.

Caché (film)
Caché [ka.ʃe], titled Hidden in the UK and Ireland, is a 2005 French psychological thriller written and directed by Michael Haneke. Starring Daniel Auteuil as Georges and Juliette Binoche as his wife Anne, the film follows an upper-class French couple who are terrorized by anonymous tapes that appear on their front porch and hint at childhood memories of the husband.
Caché opened to acclaim from film critics, who lauded Binoche's acting and Haneke's direction. The ambiguities of its plot continue to attract considerable discussion among scholars; many have commented on the film's themes of "bourgeois guilt" and collective memory, often drawing parallels between its narrative and the French government's decades-long denial of the 1961 Seine River massacre. Caché is today regarded as one of the greatest films of the 2000s.
Plot
The quiet life of a Paris family is disturbed when they receive a series of surveillance tapes of the exterior of their residence from an anonymous source. Georges Laurent is the successful host of a French literary television program, living with his wife Anne, a book publisher, and their 12-year-old son Pierrot. Unmarked videocassettes arrive on their doorstep, tapes that show extended observation of their home's exterior from a static street camera that is never noticed. At first passive and harmless, but later accompanied by crude, disturbing crayon drawings, the tapes lead to questions about Georges' early life that disrupt both his work and marriage. But because the tapes do not contain an open threat, the police refuse to help the family.
