Noam Chomsky to Speak at University Noam Chomsky will present his lecture "Human Rights: Global Change and Continuity" on March 18, at 1 p.m. in the McLaren Complex.

Taking on more of a rock sensation, the Sadly, the rest of the movie is ruined by one ofthe weakest plots I've ever had the misfortune of sitting through. How­ ever, the writers must be given the ben­ efit ofthe doubt because ofthe terrible dubbing afflicting this movie. The translations don't even make an attempt to be coherent or engaging. And that is an especially bad thing when you con­ sider the lengths to which the story goes to find a deeper sense of originality. The opening sequence is set on a large, black dirigible in another world and time. Figures clad in gothic platemail take guard over a huge, incu­ bating beast (borrowed straight from Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind). A stunning battle ensues and we cut to a Japanese schoolgirl, lying on a rooftop in modernday Japan. She's depressed. Even her ambigiously lesbian school buddy, clad in a matching perky short skirt can't seem to cheer her up. Con­ fusion and impatience percolated in the audience around me. Her school buddy: "Why did you quit the track team? Did you have that dream again?" Audience: "How does this relate to the other guy? Let's see some more action!" Eventually, we learn that this disen­ chanted waif is the wing (or wind) god­ dess who is prophecised to go to the other world, awaken the incubating beast, called Escaflowne, and destroy it. Irrelevant plot twists and weak mo­ tivators abound. It seems like a new character is introduced every ten min­ utes, and we never stay long enough with any one of them to see any depth. At times characters or moments would captivate me, yet I look back over the movie and think: if only they could have taken that and gone further. Meanwhile, the main characters attempt to move the story along with bouts of Neon Genesis Evangelion-like brooding that do no justice to what they imitate. The dub­ bing tends to worsen things here, as ev­ ery attempt at a philosophical conver­ sation comes off like preachy anti-exis­ tentialism: "Destroying the world won't end your suffering!" And despite in­ stances of surreal torture and beautifully rendered fighting sequences that outdo the genre, the movie cops out and de­ livers a touchy-feely American ending complete with bad dialogue: "I'll always be with you."

After watching "Escaflowne," I felt like I had eaten a buffet of appetizers. There had been some promising morsels, but all together too much variety and mixed flavors to really make a coherent meal. My advice is to see it in the theatres for the breathtaking fighting and back­ grounds, or wait for it to come out on DVD and watch it subtitled. 16 San Francisco Foghorn oCENE March 7, 2002 The Richness of the B-Side
