4. When the guy who played Beeks died, I wanted to call up Al Franken and ask him if the guy who was

raped by the gorilla in TRADING PLACES was okay now, and he would've had to say, ''No, he's dead.''

and I would say, ''Oh my GOD! The gorilla raped him to death!'' or something like that.

6. I wrote a paper about the subtest of this movie!

"Environmental factors carry far more weight than do biological traits, and individuals learn from and adapt to their environments. Valentine's (Murphy) story is that, when given the opportunity to live in an environment that fulfills basic needs while encouraging advancement and fostering development, people usually perform effectively. Winthrop's (Aykroyd) story, then, is the other side of the same coin. Placed in an environment that sees and treats one as less-than human, the individual learns to both think of himself or herself, as well as behave, accordingly."
