My mom ...This movie is high on my Want To See list. My mom thinks the short story is one of the best pieces of literature in the past 50 years! I'll be borrowing it from her at some point.<BR/><BR/>Also, if you haven't seen it yet, do rent another wonderfu/beautiful/sad movie directed by Ang Lee: "The Ice Storm." Totally amazing.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10592935603508854536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8741885.post-1135127086951528422005-12-21T01:04:00.000+00:002005-12-21T01:04:00.000+00:00Oh, and can I share a baby panda with you?!?When a...Oh, and can I share a baby panda with you?!?<BR/><BR/>When are you guys gonna go see Tai-Shan?

Heath Ledger was amazing....I also loved this movie. Heath Ledger was amazing. I've always loved him as a hottie scamp, like in 10 Things I Hate About You, but I was really impressed with how much he was able to express in his stoicism. He was a little too mumbly at a few points, though, cuz sometimes he was hard to understand. Maybe trying to cover his hot Aussie accent? But yes, he and Jake were both great. Jake really conveyed a youthful, almost immature enthusiasm and idealism. <BR/><BR/>The cinematography was fantastic. I fell in love with the landscapes and I really thought the sheep-driving scenes were gorgeous. In fact, I got a little emotional just hearing the sheep. I haven't seen any close up since my days on the farm, and sometimes I do really miss them. I think we sold off our sheep when I was in early college, so it's been about 10 years.<BR/><BR/>The funniest part of the movie was when Anne Hathaway ripped open her shirt, and my friend Kevin sort of squeaked and said "oh, Princess!" We couldn't believe we were seeing her boobies, either.Stefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10024186205791001584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8741885.post-1134859632115123332005-12-17T22:47:00.000+00:002005-12-17T22:47:00.000+00:00I agree 100%.

I loved the music. It's just as simple and beautiful as the movie. The score is mostly guitar, in a classical style. I feel that it punctuated and underscored the moments of the movie exactly where it needs. <BR/><BR/>The original story is very good. It's short, about 14 pages, originally published in the New Yorker, another similiarity with CAPOTE. I have it on my 'puter and can send it to anyone who might like it. <BR/><BR/>There is one scene that I felt was a bit different from the story and a little distracting because I interpretted the story differently at that moment. <BR/><BR/>Regardless, it's an amazing movie, a tragic love story. And frankly, a little hot.ScottE.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02346813251871182513noreply@blogger.com
