I have. Very good movie, though you do have to be a fan of Wim Wenders 
to like it-- I've noticed Wenders is one of those "love-him-or-hate-him" 
types of directors like David Lynch. Personally I think he does gorgeous 
work. Did you know that the movie "City of Angels" was based on a 
Wenders movie "Wings of Desire" ?

Anyway, I was quite impressed with MDH, with the beautiful film making 
and with Bono's screenplay. I head that Mel Gibson hated the movie, but 
that doesn't surprise me. I was also quite taken with the soundtrack-- 
the first song on it, 'The Ground Beneath Her Feet' is a U2-Salman 
Rushdie collaboration.

"The market is the reason our housing is so expensive. It is the reason 
our public transportation is lousy. It is the reason our cities sprawl 
idiotically all across the map. It is the reason our word processing 
programs stink and our prescription drugs cost more than anywhere else. 
In order that a fortunate few might enjoy a kind of prosperity unequaled 
in human history, the rest of us have had to abandon ourselves to a 
lifetime of casual employment, to unquestioning obedience within an 
ever-more arbitrary and despotic corporate regime, to medical care 
available on a maybe/maybe-not basis, to a housing market interested in 
catering only to the fortunate. "
