baz luhrmann is a genious

i just got back from watching "Australia." it was incredible. i haven't felt that deeply while watching a movie for so long. it makes the last few movies i have watched look like cheap commercials, you know the ones where they don't even dub the voices in and the person behind the camera is the one narrating...ok so maybe they haven't been that bad, but pretty close. There are very few movies that i get out of where i want to go back and watch it again. i would love to watch it another time just to take in the beauty of Australia, and then another time just to listen to the score. for me it was one of those amazing movies where the music blends so well you don't consciously notice it until it hits a crescendo and then you know that it has been beautiful and has fit perfectly with the scene. I love the "drover's ballad" at the end also. I always sit in the theater till the end of the credits, but rarely is it that rewarding. i enjoyed that in grand luhrmann style everything was big, and beautiful and breathtaking. his movies are so much about the connecting of people, and the pain, joy, and heartache that having a connection brings.

Everyone has a story, how will people tell yours?
