Now why would I know that? How can I know that and not know who I am?

Gerard Depardieu does a lovely Cyrano, but you need subtitles if you don't know French.
I could see him in the role. But the subtitles would be a distraction for me. The only film version, not counting take-offs, that I've seen was Jose Ferrer's. Not bad, exactly. But not the same as seeing it in person.
If I remember right, we were even in the front row at the play and it was in a small, intimate theater. Actors came down the aisles to come on stage, including the first appearance of Cyrano. The baker's wife very nearly fell out of her dress. And one of the Gascon Cadets died almost at my feet. It was fun.
Haven't been to a play in too long.
I don't know enough French to be able to avoid the subtitles, but they did't bother me when I watched Depardieu's CYRANO. (I tend to use closed captioning whenever I watch tv--though, since I just got a hearing aid for the ear that has lost hearing, I may not need to use closed captioning in the future.)

But they're the best kind of liars.
The movie's definitely not for everyone, and I think it's gotten mixed reviews. I loved the flick because I read way too much into it: a treatise on American culture/values. I mean, the guy wants to be important, creating a biography that he thinks will impress people and espousing the virtues of doing the right thing when he's really just trying to get as much money as he can.
There's voice overs all through the movie, mostly having nothing to do with what's actually going on at the moment, until near the end of the movie a character asks him, "Why?" and, very softly, unlike the rest of the voice overs, "I don't know."
I think we "don't know" more often than not, and this was the cinematic version of this generation's, "Death of a Salesman".
But, again, I'm reading way too much into this flick, plus I've had one too many cocktails.

By the way, Alec Baldwin said everyone hated him during the making of that movie. During the reaction shots, Baldwin did the off-camera work (usually done by someone else, not the actor), and he said things that were NOT in the script. The scene where he's talking to Shelley (Jack Lemmon), and Shelley looks like he's going to cry, Baldwin said that he ad-libbed some nasty things to Lemmon. Baldwin also said that you could feel the violence in the air when he did the same with Ed Harris. Harris looked like he was ready to start throwing punches.
Good stuff.
