What an interesting idea Jon had to mention bfg ref in movies. My favorite
is in Like Water For Chocolate, a beautiful Mexican film that is now in
video. The heroine's sister has a baby and can't nurse because she is ill.
The heroine is in love with the baby's father (long story) so as she gazes
at the infant, she has a spontaneous let-down which darkens her shirt. She
secretely begins to nurse the infant, keeping it alive. She does this with
another child later in the film. A woman behind me in the theater snorted
and muttered "As if!" when this occured. I wanted to turn around and give
her a brief lecture on induced lactation, but you'll all be glad to know I
restrained myself. Anyway, its the most poignant scene...
