I read your The New World post. Very informing. Don't mistaken me. I like the media's John Smith as in Disney's John Smith and Colin Farrell as John Smith <3 for entertainment purposes. I get the facts, and...I'm a history buff. I like to no more and more about Jamestown, John Smith, Pocahontas, the Powhatan, etc. You sound sophisticated (at least more than I ).

omgsh I couldn't agree with u more on both points. We're coming up to the Elizabethan/ Stuart era in class and I know I will be sharing my thoughts and facts about the settlement of Jamestown. Hope our teacher won't get too annoyed. Oh everyday and night I'm in my own little world of a different era. Wouldn't it be wonderful to live back then when there were horse drawn carriages and the girls always wore elegant dresses? 99% of my favorite movies are period films. I redid my room 2 summers ago in a Regency/Victorian theme. Right now I'm really into the late 1800's. I was definitely born in the wrong century!

Besides the rights of a woman, life would so grand in a different era. Have you seen Pride & Prejudice? I quite like the 2005 version. The dresses <3 YES. Life was elegant. Seen Atonement? Even the Early 1900's...UGH <3 Even the war. But I guess...I'm looking at the grand mansions and balls...It depends on what caste you're talking about. If your mother and father are servants, than that's practically what you're gonna be.

are you kidding? p&p (2005 version) is one of my all time favorite movies! i made a music video. here's the link [link]
anyways, that is like what I'm thinking since everyone even the gentleman were so proper and mannered and life was just so different with different standards and they prized the arts and etiquette so much more. Why can't buildings be made the way baroque or victorian architecture was back then? I actually haven't seen atonement but i want to! Keira is actually my favorite actress oh yes the mansions and balls. sometimes I'm in the mood for the lower or middle class lifestyle like "The Village" or "Little Women" (1994). Other times I'm in the mood for "Marie Antoinette" or "Gone With the Wind" or "Titanic" -more elaborate

YES See Atonement. Oh I love architectures like that...just cold stone pillars, columns...PHEW I was scared you didn't like the 2005 one. Something about leaving out stuff that fans of the other version don't like...Keira's probably my favorite but for sure one of my top favorites. It's incredible how we both like the same things I actually have Little Women waiting on my bookshelf. Did I ask about Jane Eyre? I'm reading that and the 2011 one not that bad. Yes there's bouncing back and forth between the years, probably a little confusing for people that are not familiar with the book. Have you seen Becoming Jane? Anne Hathaway plays Jane Austen and we see Austen's relationship between Lefroy in her younger years before she was famous for her books.

Ok I most certainly will! Oh yes you don't have ta worry about me liking the 2005 version! It's da best hands down!! I know! I'm so happy you know what I'm talking about and relate so much! ^_^ Oh it's so funny you mention Jane Eyre 'cause it's one of my top 3 favorite books! I read it the first time this summer and I couldn't put the book down. Oh I actually did love the movie a lot though they did leave a lot of stuff out and Mia could've been more emotional but overall they did pretty good for a two hour movie. I actually drew a pic of her I put on DA. I LOVE the soundtrack and location where they filmed ^ ^ Oh yes I have seen "Becoming Jane"! Not in a while, but I do remember I liked it most considerably! James MacAvoy is fantastic. Another good Austen movie is "Sense and Sensilbility" with Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet. Oh and you must have seen the timeless classic "Gone With the Wind" right? If not, you MUST

I MUST I MUST I MUST. I haven't got my hands on that movie, though I'm interested in watching it. I asked about some background facts from my mom, I'll try to see it soon. It IS a world famous classic. I like James McAvoy...He gets really good characters to play. I am a go for for soundtracks. Practically all 400+ songs on my iPod are soundtracks. Dario Marianelli wrote the scores for Jane Eyre, as well as Atonement and Pride & Prejudice.

Oh yes! You'd love it. Oh I know! Like 75% of the songs on my iPhone are from soundtracks! I'm obsessed! When I hear a soundtrack I like, I immediately buy it and try to learn it on the piano. Yes! Dario Marianelli's one of my favorites, along with John Williams, Hans Zimmer, James Newton Howard, James Horner, Thomas Newman and many many others! Have you heard James Newton Howard's "The Village" score? It's just beautiful and the violin is to die for. I love the violin for "Jane Eyre" and "Master and Commander" too. Period movies have the best soundtracks. I'm really into "The New World" one right now. I think it's Horner's best so far. During Christmas I always love listening to Newman's "Little Women" ST. So beautiful and emotional! Now my favorite ST of all is "Empire of the Sun" by John Williams, (as well as my absolute favorite movie of all time! I truly am obsessed with it. Have you seen it? Not a lot of people have, it's so sad

I've been obsessed with The New World since I discovered it. I REALLY wished that all of the pieces James Horner wrote for The New World were on the CD. I do like Mozart's Piano Concerto #23 Adagio that continuously plays along the movie in interactions between Smith and Pocahontas. You must be a Balehead, are you not? I've took your word and used what you said about Rolfe as I watched The New World last night (I watch the film whenever I can). Though I already thought in the beginning, Rolfe was a kind man, I just...realized it more(?).

Yes, we share probably an unpopular opinion. The New World is James Horner at his best. Beating Titanic and Avatar D Though those two are great soundtracks as well.
I absolutely love Hans Zimmer's "Time" in Inception. No, I haven't watched the movie. And then the other score writers you've mentioned I haven't heard of. Unfortunately, no, I haven't seen it, I've noticed you do a lot of art on that movie.

lordofthepirates In reply to chericherry [2011-10-03 02:24:11 +0000 UTC]

Oh yes, I wish so too. Ya I thought Mozart was a good choice and I especially like Wagner's Vorspiel at the very end.

OK, ya caught me! Big surprise from seeing the dozens of drawings I've done of him! ...my heart belongs to Christian Bale But I actually haven't joined the official DA "group". I mean, I know it seems like an obvious thing for me to do, but I don't like to be labeled, 'cause then I get lost in the sea of other "Baleheads" and people think I'm like everyone else in the group. My love extends beyond the boundaries of "fanclub" ^ ^ But who knows, I may in the future. I just like to feel separate from the usual stuff and autonomous I guess, but anywho, (that was a weird sentence), Oh I'm so glad you saw Rolfe in a new light like that! Yes, he absolutely is! Rolfe is such a good man, I love him so much ^ ^

Ya most people probably wouldn't agree that "The New World' is his best (probably because most have never seen it) though "Titanic" and "Braveheart" are my other two favorites of Horner's.
Oh ya "Time" is a really good one. The drone sound is cool. Have you heard Zimmer's and James Newton Howard's Batman Begins ST? (another top favorite Christian Bale movie) It sorta has that mood to it but even better!(in my opinion) Oh you should definitely check out those composers I mentioned. They are masters! If you like "Jane Eyre", you'd like "The Village" probably. What other composers do like? Oh Alan Menken!! I bet you like him! I love so many of his scores for Disney.

Oh "Empire of the Sun" to me, is the movie to see before you die. I can't express how much I love it. Not just 'cause Christian is in it, but it has such a deep meaning and is completely different from any other WWII movie out there. Ah yes, I am doing an "Empire of the Sun" series. I plan on drawing every scene of the movie ^ ^

chericherry In reply to lordofthepirates [2011-10-03 08:12:24 +0000 UTC]

Yep, Alan Menken is a music god. To many Disney fans, his pieces are perfection. I like the Pocahontas soundtrack, no surprise XD My favorite score by Menken would probably be "Farewell".

I haven't seen many Christian Bale movies. In fact, I've only seen him in The New World and in Pocahontas where he is the voice actor of Thomas. Yep, this I am lacking. I really need to find time to watch films, but school's all in my face, I can't even ignore one bit.

Rolfe is a good man. He let her go see Smith knowing that she won't be satisfied until she did. I just don't like Rolfe in the Disney sequel, that's where it began. But that was a little thing; an ignorant thing. Nevermind it now.

I'm scrolling through my songs list and....the of the composers are four that we've already mentioned; James Horner, Hans Zimmer, Dario Marianelli, Alan Menken. I MUST EXPLORE!

Ooo Braveheart, I've heard of that. Another movie I haven't seen. Starring Mel Gibson, huh? A lot of people once they discover that he was the voice actor for John Smith they said "my childhood is ruined." I don't think that, I think he did a wonderful job giving the voice of John Smith. Quite frankly, I'm ignorant of his reputation, that's probably the case.

I was falling for Colin Farrell so far after I first watched The New World. I watched Alexander, Ondine, In Bruges starring him as well as The Way Back and Horrible Bosses. Ondine....I didn't understand it, didn't really like it. Alexander was good I guess, I like Greek history. Still, The New World is still his best.

lordofthepirates In reply to chericherry [2011-10-04 01:01:44 +0000 UTC]

Yes, he absolutely is. "Newsies" just might be my favorite score of his. It's one of my top favorite movies as well (with Christian Bale!) funny how that happens It's a period musical set in 1899 in New York about the newsies strike against Pulitzer and Hearst. I'm so obsessed with it right now.

Isn't it amazing how Christian Bale is in two movies about Pocahontas? One he's the voice, the other he's actually in it. That would've been funny if he was the voice of John Rolfe Ya he really showed in "The New World" that he truly loved her and didn't want her to be unhappy. One of my favorite lines of hers is "You are the man I thought you were, and more."

I know what you mean about school being in your face. It's ridiculous the amount of work we have this year. Barely enough time for drawing/piano/reading/painting/watching movies and all my other favorite things to do but I do enjoy some of our classes like European History and Literature and Language. I'm much more of a language and humanities person than math and science. I do like anatomy though and since I'll need it for my art career.

Haha I thought so! For someone to have that many scores, those composers MUST be in there. Which soundtracks? Ya it doesn't matter to me at all that Mel Gibson is the voice of John Smith or Braveheart or in another favourite movie, Signs. I just see him as a great actor in a great movies and don't associate that at all with all the other hoity-toity going on in the media.

Colin Farrel. I don't have much to say about him except I know him from "The New World" and that's about it! He did do pretty good as Smith. Oh I've never seen Alexander. I should watch it! I love Gladiator and Troy so maybe I'll like it. Notice how our messages are getting longer! Teehee! That's what happens when I get exited about what I'm writing ^ ^

I've been wanting to see "The Duchess" very badly. I've been able to catch a little on tv but I want to see the whole thing. I'll ask my dad to put it on our Netflix queue

Oh YAY!!! I can still remember how uncontrollably joyful and giddy I was when I first bought my copy of "The New World". It was two Summers ago actually at Barnes & Noble (I could live there), and I snuck over to the DVD section so I could rummage through all the DVDs looking for "The New World" and any other CB movie I could find They were all on sale too! That was one of the best days ever. ^ ^

How wonderful!! Tell me when your birthday is or hide these messages or something so I can tell you happy birthday that day! If it was me, I'd ask for all the soundtracks and DVDs I've been wanting, or if you don't have a Mac laptop yet, I advise you get one immediately, or ask to go on a little trip somewhere!
