MOVIES --

speaking of the Last Wave [see previous: 050820.1a] - -


- A Favorite Director -

Peter Weir -
Weir's key films include Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975), Gallipoli (1981), The Year of Living Dangerously (1982), Witness (1985), Dead Poets Society (1989), The Truman Show (1998) and Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003).


- AND - Another Favorite Film -

Where The Green Ants Dream (Werner Herzog, 1984) - too bad its not readily available!

google "Where The Green Ants Dream"

- - here is a quote from amazon.com -

"Open Your Eyes to the Dreams of the Green Ants - Reviewer: "wytold" -

"There is amazing beauty in the stark outback of Australia where Herzog filmed this drama. It's the simple story of Aboriginals who are trying to save their reality from the onslaught of civilization.

"Herzog turns the story into pure poetry which opens your mind to other versions of reality. All the characters he introduces are amazingly rich and complex. The are no absolute good or bad characters. Instead there is a world full of people who must act within the rules of their own particular realities.

"I'm watched it multiple times and the film always shakes my belief in the "absolute truth" of my metaphysical system. Each time I realize that perhaps my version reality is not the only possibility. This is not a bad experience, rather it opens new worlds for me to explore.

"I recommend this video for those who have an open mind. The video quality is so - so, but that only adds to the charm of the movie."
