just saw the film this morning and thot it was amazing!!! an instant classic for me anyway!!! dont suppose u know the name of or who wrote the poem at the end?
shareIt's my fave film, I've been to the school where it was filmed. I have Ruaidrhi's script *genuine* the film in many languages and posters plus press pack and Metrodome Films tshirt advertising the release day! I am a mega fan of this film.
shareIt's Song of the Ungirt Runner by Charles Hamilton Sorley (1915):
We swing ungirded hips,
And lightened are our eyes,
The rain is on our lips,
We do not run for prize.
We know not whom we trust
Nor whitherward we fare,
But we run because we must
Through the great wide air.
____________________
The waters of the seas
Are troubled as by storm.
The tempest strips the trees
And does not leave them warm.
Does the tearing tempest pause?
Do the tree-tops ask it why?
So we run without a cause
'Neath the big bare sky.
_________________________
The rain is on our lips,
We do not run for prize.
But the storm the water whips
And the wave howls to the skies.
The winds arise and strike it
And scatter it like sand,
And we run because we like it
Through the broad bright land
A weirdly memorable piece, especially as delivered by Ruaridh Conroy in the film. Like Conrad, Sorley died young.
You're right it's a great film.
I've got it on VHS. I can't find this film on DVD.
