I just watched a you tube version of that song that has scenes from the movie along with some others.
All very beautiful. Especially the woman.

Did you see the one with that harras of horses running along a shore ? Spectacular moments.

[rogruth]

YES! That whole video is spectacular.

Last night on 13.3 I saw In Cold Blood, a true story and I feel the movie is true to what happened. A real good movie, at the end they show one of these guys getting hanged and I think it is authentic as to how they did it back then. It is dramatic to the witnesses but all over in a fraction of a second to the guy getting hanged. Therefore not cruel or unusual.
I also saw a place in the Sun recently, another real good movie, it won all kinds of awards. It has a young Liz Taylor, possibly her 1st movie and she is very pretty. Most of the time when I see pictures of her she is about 40 and OK but not super.

Some beautifully scurrilous choices ! Dark and brooding; plus quirky and wild. (Ex. God as a woman standing on her head in a front yard. Was that a tutu she had on?)

An enjoyable movie: "Scent of Woman," especially that Tango near the end. However, the real gift of the movie was that song, "Dance Me To The End of Love," as sung by Leonard Cohen. If you have ever loved or been loved by a woman, that song somehow sums it all up, along with that dance. IMHO. Murph

I totally agree with you Murph.

Leonard Cohen died November 10, 2016

I watched "The Revenant" (yes, I had to look the word up )a couple nights ago, amidst channel-surfing, so I came into it just after the bear-mauling , when his companions were trying to save his life. Basically, it kept my attention because I had nothing better to do, but it sure imparted a clear impression of what the life of a trapper must have been like back in those days. I enjoyed that realism very much. Except for not feeling the actual cold, at times, i felt like I was there, watching over somebody's shoulder. I kept expecting another bear to come out of the foliage at him again, along his way to return and revenge.

Leonardo Di Caprios' performance reminded me of a movie of his, from the birth of his career, "What's Eating Gilbert Grape." It was his performance in that movie which was the totally amazing part. That is, his portrayal of an intellectually-challenged boy was so real it seemed like they had hired such a person, not an actor. I know I was not alone in that impression or estimation of Di Caprio's acting in that drama. I believe it instantly established him as a superior actor. In fact, I had heard he had a challenge in proving to the next producers and directors that he was, in fact, acting, not merely presenting himself. If that were true, I think that is really cool.

P.S. And the bears and coyotes are still out there, and in there, wild boar, too, or so I've been warned, more than once before my hikes, by the farmers around Brake Hill Road, just outside Cortland, NY..

Shhh...

I wonder if Man in the Wilderness was influential at all on the Revenant?
IMHO Richard Harris gave one of his finest performances in that movie.
Must add Man in the Wilderness to my list.

I saw Picnic on TV recently, another good movie. I like love stories, I am jealous of charismatic, outgoing types
