Packet 5: Tossup 9

After this film’s director was given a few extra months to edit his 200 hours of footage, he instead went to St. Lucia and got Derek Walcott to write some narration. This is the best-known (-5[1])film by a director who once ran a full-page ad in the Evening Standard calling himself “the greatest English director since Hitchcock” and spent 100 thousand dollars of his own money to run 35 ads badmouthing its producers. After the DGA denied a request by this film’s director to (15[1])credit it to Humpty (-5[1])Dumpty, he filed a 200-million dollar lawsuit against (*) New Line Cinema. At the end of this debut film by the director of Detachment, the protagonist quotes (10[1])Abraham (10[1])Lincoln (10[1])to end an essay. Tony Kaye (“kay”) lost his final (10[1])cut (10[1])privilege to this film’s (10[1])star, who plays a character (10[2])with a swastika (10[1])tattooed (10[1])on his chest. (10[1])For 10 points, (10[1])name this film starring Edward Norton (10[1])as a reformed (10[1])neo-Nazi. (10[1])■END■ (10[1])
