And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
One would think that with a film of such visual brilliance, the producers would have budgeted a little more for something better than a colored pencil rendition?
One of the movies/TV shows which popularized a particular piece of classical music:
2001: Sunrise from Also sprach Zarathustra. The Blue Danube was well known to the public before this movie. Ordinary People: Pachelbel's Canon The Lone Ranger: if you have to be told, you're hopeless. The Huntley–Brinkley Report: second movement of Beethoven's 9th Symphony.
I took my girlfriend to see the IMAX re-release a few years ago...I was captivated and spellbound by the film. She, on the other hand swore never to see another movie with me ever again...
A lot of countries insist on making their own movie posters “so the public can relate, culturally” this seems odd though, being in English. Look up the polish posters to see some wild examples.
Took my wife to see Alien in the late 70's?. Told me she would NEVER go to another movie with me again. Married 56 years and she still hasn't been to a movie with me. Guess I can count that a positive as I've never had to watch a chic flick. Bubbarust
Great film with excellent and realistic special effects. The sequel, 2010, was easier to understand but also excellent. It explains why HAL went rogue (it was the govt's fault).

ReplyDeleteLike the movie Fantasia, this movie is best seen on the big screen. A small television screen just doesn't do it justice, not even a 60-inch screen
ReplyDeleteBest seen when you’re high as a kite
