I believe this is the site on critical thinking I found 10 years ago but it was green...

(Edward M. Glaser, An Experiment in the Development of Critical Thinking, Teacher’s College, Columbia University, 1941)

Ford ~ Otto Rank...?

Ford, a self-identified Communist, used his films to "express social messages on the screen," as in his documentaries: the award-winning Legion ulicy, (The Street Legion, 1932), Children Must Laugh (1936) and the postwar Eighth Day of the Week (1958) rejected by the communist party censors during the Polish October. Ford continued making films in Poland until the 1968 Polish political crisis. Accused of antisocialist activity and expelled from the Communist Party, Ford emigrated to Israel where he lived for the next two years. He later moved to Denmark and eventually settled in the United States. Ford made two more feature films, both of which were commercial and critical failures. In 1973, he made a film adaptation of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's novel The First Circle, a Danish-Swedish production that recounted the horrors of the Soviet gulag. In 1975 he made The Martyr (de), an English language, Israeli-German co-production based on the heroic story of Dr. Janusz Korczak. Blacklisted by the Polish communist government as a political defector, Ford became a non-person in contemporary discussions and analysis of Polish filmmaking. Isolated, he committed suicide in a Florida hotel on 4 April 1980.[3]

Late model Ford Edge, black...

...I was walking across University Place parking lot from Southern Seasons and walked past this vehicle.  Before going to the mall I found this film and recognized some of the content.  After seeing the vehicle I wondered if the owner had been influenced in their choice of vehicle by this film...

Will he live?
I don't know.
- What are you doing?
- Putting him to sleep.
- Supposing he doesn't come out of it?
- Then let him die in peace.
Hammer, listen to me.
- Are you listening?
- This is a human being, Brogge.
I'll ask questions. You answer.
The skin has burned off his face.

Hammer, how did you get the arms?
He's going to sleep.
I could kill you for this.  This cost Kay Gibbs 6 months in jail.
Hammer, you've got to hold on.
