There’s an Italian film where the action takes place in a movie theater. They’re showing a gripping film about a murder. The main character fires a gun from the screen, and in the theater, a member of the audience dies. The scene repeats again, and again there’s a death in the theater. It’s shown a third time—and the same thing happens. And there are no traces of any real murderers! Finally, an investigator comes to a fantastic conclusion: evil is able to materialize itself. If the audience is under the influence of a threatening image, a bullet can come out of nowhere.
Language Liberalism Freethought Birds Verbing Weirds Language only if you're expecting it to work in a simple way. This is a special case of the more general truth that Language Weirds. Only when a republic's life is in danger should a man uphold his government when it is in the wrong. There is no other time. The church says Earth is flat; but I have seen its shadow on the moon, and I have more confidence in a shadow than the church. If we can't find Heaven, there are always bluejays.

Anyone recognize this movie?
I read this in a Russian columnist's writings last fall. I haven't had any luck figuring out what movie he's talking about... Anyone have an idea?
