yeah, i got my student self into this tonight with my
dictionaries and extremely little success in playing
with things euphonic.  considering i have actually
passed (and HIGH passed, at that), a german language
translation equivalency in a grad program, my german
is absolutely ATROCIOUS. 

however, i take the spirit of that most beautiful film
now: is there anything in the language indicating the
homophone (or word) "fraub" means anything?  as i
remember it, they pronounced it "frawb looker" instead
of the 'proper' "frau blucher."  am i going mad??  or
is it just one of the most beautiful movies ever made?

regardless, the horses' "neighs" are "foreshadowing,"
yes?  of imminent plot turns and doom, and, oh well, i
guess i'll just stop now.

sleepy,
