That's what film and music and books are all about. Finding someone or something you relate to. We review things based on how we ourselves, we the general public, we a generation relate to something.

tam, I don't know why. I didn't know that smart and beautiful women didn't exist. I certainly know many. Perhaps they are intimidating to men:)
