		The dialog of the film is almost entirely in iambic pentameter and usually rhymes, a fact which enthralled some critics and enraged others.
		The film opens as an Irish-American microbiologist, never named and played by Joan Allen, discovers her British businessman husband Anthony (Sam Neill) is having an affair with their goddaughter's mother.

		Yes is possibly the most beautiful film I have ever seen.
		The impact of the previous day's events can be felt throughout the film as He and She try to make sense of their lives and discuss both the meaning of life and the world around them.

	Film Review: Yes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Until that point, Yes is immersed in the desperate passion of two people grasping the lifeline of erotic love as a placebo for much deeper emotional needs, and here Potter's flair for movement fully surfaces.
		Yes is written almost entirely in iambic pentameter (10 syllables to a line), delivered so fluidly and unaffectedly audiences may not even notice.
		The film portrays life from the particular to the universal, from dueling organisms in a petri dish to the enormity of war itself.

	"Yes"
		YES is his first leading role in the English language on film.
		YES is the story of a passionate love affair between an American woman (Joan Allen) and a Middle-Eastern man (Simon Abkarian) in which they confront some of the greatest conflicts of our generation - religious, political and sexual.
		The rhyming dialogue is wonderfully strange and engaging; it heightens the characters’ feelings and exchanges, and brings to the flow of the film a vital musical pulse, quickening the many witty asides, deepening the sorrows in a story that understands very well the pains of humiliation, loss, and death.

	Man, Verse, Woman: Sally Potter's "Yes"
		Until that point, "Yes" is immersed in the desperate passion of two people grasping the lifeline of erotic love as a placebo for much deeper emotional needs, and it's in this section of the film that Potter's flair for movement fully surfaces.
		Throughout, "Yes" portrays life from the particular to the universal, from duelling organisms in a petri dish (and sloughed cells on a bedsheet) to the enormity of war itself.
		Moving from London to Belfast to Beirut to Havana, "Yes" is an ambitious and lyrical argument for tolerance and self-awareness.

	Film Review: Yes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Yes is a love story quite unlike any other.
		For instance, there is a memorable scene in a Belfast hospital with She at the death bed of a beloved, leftie aunt, but the scene seems awkwardly tacked on.
		Visually the film is striking, with unusual camera angles emphasising the artfulness of the film.

	Yes Review (DVD Movie/Film)
		Yes is the story of a similarly luminous and unnamed woman (Allen), an Irish-American scientist living in London.
		Joan Allen is one of those actors, like Morgan Freeman, who brings class to any film and here she gets to run the gamut of emotions– unhappily brittle at first, like her character in the Ice Storm, she blossoms as a woman in love, fights for and then grieves for her marriage.
		In the light of recent events, the film seems almost prophetic, but it is cautiously optimistic; it seems to believe that east and west can learn to live together.

		At this point in her film career (the turgid "The Tango Lesson" and the remarkably mannered "The Man Who Cried"...a film even Johnny Depp, Cristina Ricci and Cate Blanchett couldn't save), "Orlando" is arguably her best film but that may have at least as much to do with Tilda Swinton than it does with Potter.
		YES is ostensibly the story of a romance between an unsatisfied married Western woman and an Islamic lover.
		Since Yes was written for the screen, layers of content are given visually; like the fact that the cleaning people, for the most part invisible to the primary cast as in real life, are the only characters to address the camera/audience directly.

	Yes: The Film
		"Yes" is the story of a passionate love affair between an American woman called "She" (Joan Allen) and a middle eastern man called "He" (Simon Abkarian) in which they confront not only the complexities of love and sexuality but also those of religion and politics.
		And this is the case with this film.
		I feel somehow useful because we present a reality that is never talked about, which is that it is possible to create a space of talk and intelligence in a relationship and forget the hatred clichés that we have.

		"Yes" is a movie about love, sex, class and religion, involving an elegant Irish-American woman (Joan Allen) and a Lebanese waiter and kitchen worker (Simon Abkarian).
		What the dialogue brings to the film is a certain unstated gravity; it elevates what is being said into a realm of grace and care.
		By the end of the film they are preparing to say yes to the bold overthrow of their lives up until then, and yes to the beginning of something hopeful and unknown.

	Yes Film Review - Time Out Film
		The recipe for Potter’s latest film is characteristically intriguing and original.
		‘Yes’ explores the racial, religious, cultural and sexual prejudice and conflict engendered in the somewhat unlikely love affair between the elegant Irish-American wife (Joan Allen) of a British politician (Sam Neill) and a charming but feisty Lebanese restaurant worker (Simon Abkarian), with all of the dialogue in rhyming couplets.
		The script is witty and made easy to follow by the performances, and the film is arguably her finest to date.

		And be prepared to feel this way more than once because the The House of Yes is a high-concept fl comedy, where the characters are not really characters and everything serves to propel the plot towards the conclusion which is simultaneously obvious and absurd.
		The House of Yes is a big and opulent mansion in an unspecified Washington, D.C. suburb.
		This leaves Jackie-O. Played by Parker Posey (winner of the special recognition award this year at Sundance Film Festival), she is a marvel.

	Yes Review - FilmFocus.Co.UK
		Yes is no different, a wonderful and awe-inspiring journey through one woman's affair with a man from the middle-east.
		Yes is Potter's response to the tragedy of 9/11, she began writing the film in the immediate aftermath of the attacks, and it's one of the best observed post-9/11 pieces.
		Potter crafts an almost-Shakespearian tale in Yes, the dialogue spoken entirely in verse and the story witnessed at every key moment by a mysterious group of cleaning staff, one of which both opens and closes the film with a soliloquy.

	Verse Film Pits Love Against the Clash of Cultures - New York Times (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		It is written in verse (iambic pentameter), one of the few films to use an unusual form of dialogue.
		The answer I found is "Yes," a tender, erotic love story played out against a backdrop of the clash of fundamentalisms, East and West.
		And precisely because the film ultimately is affirmative, and is joyful and is a celebration of love.

		Under the re-sealable lid is a thin plastic film that’s glued to the outer edge of the tub.

		Remove the film by putting a small knife (like a box cutter) in one of the slots at the bottom of the case then slide the knife through the film along the whole bottom of the case.

		As the convention petered out, the “Yes, Bush Can!” bus was still in the shop, and the Yes Men decided to go with their backup plan of proceeding to L.A., where they outfitted a van with a bare-bones set of agitprop tools and headed north for Seattle.
		The Yes Men, on their way to Medford when the announcement was made, had improvised a Healthy Forestry Award and appeared at Senator Smith’s office to make a presentation.
		But their enthusiastic outbursts taper off as the film winds down during the final episode in which the Yes Men travel to Sydney, where, as their alter egos, they announce the dissolution of the WTO because they finally recognized that they were hurting poor people instead of helping them.

	Yes - A film by Sally Potter
		The extraordinary cast of YES is headed by a luminous Joan Allen ('The Crucible', 'Ice Storm', 'Nixon', 'The Contender') and the charismatic Simon Abkarian (Molière prize-winning actor) who plays her lover.
		The first of Joan Allen's Academy nominations was in recognition of her portrayal of First Lady Pat Nixon in Oliver Stone's NIXON (1995).

		Current ownership of the Yes name is unclear: it became the property of Yes '97 LLC comprising Anderson, Squire, Howe and White, but it appears Wakeman also became a co-owner of the name too in 2003 and that there have been further changes since.
		The film is due to feature music by Yes: an earlier report (circa 2005) had that the film is intended to contain 8-12 classic tracks (a re-recorded "Close to the Edge" was mentioned in one rumour) and at least 4-5 new recordings.
		The film's soundtrack album is released 13 Jun in the US, on Hip-O Records, and includes a version of "Owner..." as sung by the character of Richard in the film (played by John Michael Higgins).

	The Yes Men (2004): Andy Bichlbaum, Mike Bonanno - PopMatters Film Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		That is, the Yes Men (sometimes also known as Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno) engage in prankster-style direct activism, revealing the illogical and hypocritical practices of institutions that habitually "put profits ahead of everything else." Their usual mode is face to face, as they attend a conference or address a group of people in suits.
		Not incidentally, the film includes Michael Moore's description: "The WTO was supposed to be a United Nations of Commerce," he says, established originally to "help countries who are developing, so that the world community could help raise them out of poverty...
		The only audience in the film who does notice something is unreasonable is a group of students at university in Plattsburgh, NY, where the Yes Men go to rehearse a performance, in which they advocate for recycled hamburgers, complete with colorful animation.

		Shooting "The Yes Men" was a little different than shooting a traditional documentary, in that the filmmakers were friends with the subjects, and were somewhat complicit in their scams.
		The film ends with one last scam, as the Yes Men attend a conference of conservative business leaders in Australia and announce that the WTO will dissolve, rededicating itself to promoting human rights and dignity.
		Much as the Yes Men use humor to get their message across, the filmmakers hope that audiences who are tickled by their film will look into its underlying message.

	Camera Equipment Forum: Use Digital to learn film?
		But yes, exposure should be the same wether you shoot ISO 100 with a digital camera or a film camera.
		The problem with trying to learn something about film exposure from a digital camera is that you cannot be sure that the labels used on the digital camera are accurate.
		Now, some digital cameras are more accurate than others but, because there are no 'standards' (as there are for film) the manufacturers feel free to fudge their ratings so that they are relative to each other but not necessarily equivalent to film ISO standards.

		The Yes Men, directed by Dan Ollman, Sara Price, and Chris Smith, is an autodocumentary in the same genre as Michael Moore's Roger and Me (1989).
		They begin the film by explaining how they started, as developers of the www.gwbush.com website in 1999, in which they debunk positions stated on www.georgewbush.com of his record as governor of Texas.
		The satire, whose tagline is "Changing the world one prank at a time," is at its best in focusing on all those who are uncritical of the way in which "freedom" is now defined by Democrats and Republicans as corporate greed without governmental regulation.

		This film directed by Byron Haskin, based on a script by Barre Lyndon, and produced by George Pal is one of the quintessential science fiction films of the 50's, otherwise known as the Golden Age of Science Fiction.
		So many scenes in this film are strong: the army fighting the Martian space ship while a man of God tries to make peace with the strangers, the old farmhouse, and the ending as the aliens attack Los Angelos.
		Pal knew how to put films like this together and was a driving force in the film's innovative and unique special effects.
