Oh, wow! That part being a dream sequence is something that I admittedly did not know about. Kent Clark and Lois Lane's love, however, was real, which inspired the dream sequence.
Since dreams often are indicative of people's hopes and inspirations, as well as hang-ups, it makes sense to believe that Kent Clark's love for Lois Lane was real, and inspired this dream.
A guy must really love a woman from the bottom of his heart to risk his limb and life by going to dangerous high mountainous areas to obtain some edelweiss for her!
Wow!! That I didn't know! That's interesting. Superman really did love Lois Lane with all his heart!
"Climb Every Mountain" is my all-time favorite song in "The Sound of Music", because it inspires me to continue to go after what I really want in life, and my dreams. "Edelweiss", too, is a beautiful song with meaning, but it is more political than "Climb Every Mountain".
I saw "The Sound of Music" at a long-since defunct movie theatre here in Boston, MA, late in the summer of 1965, when it first came out, and, while it admittedly doesn't hold the same place in my heart regarding movies as the old, original 1961 film version of West Side Story (which is admittedly my all-time favorite movie, hands down!), I was also impressed with "The Sound of Music", as well.
That's interesting! As much as I like "Waltzing Matilda", I had absolutely no idea that "Waltzing Matilda" was about a thief who decided to commit suicide when cornered by the cops, rather than get arrested. Now that I think about it, it's not at all surprising.
You're right, Popcorngal! You've made a very good point. Thank you. "Edelweiss" is one of my favorite songs in "Sound of Music". My all-time favorite song in "The Sound of Music", however, is "Climb Every Mountain", because it's so inspiring, if one gets the drift.
The Russians were the ones who invaded Ukraine, so, as much as I don't think that war is a good thing, it's not surprising that the Ukrainians are fighting back in order to defend themselves and their country. The Russians had no business invading Ukraine in the first place.
Hi there.
To be honest, I believe that the Alternate cut of "The Town" is a better, fuller, more developed movie, because it offers much more closure than either the original theatrical cut of "The Town", which has a lot of holes in it, or the Extended cut of "The Town", which also has some holes in it but not as many as the theatrical cut of this particular movie.
The only thing I didn't care for about the Alternate or Extended movie of "The Town" is the fact that the romance between Doug and Claire was somewhat overdeveloped, if one gets the drift.
Speak for yourself, Roguemail. Over and out.
That's total crap you're talking, Roguemail. I express different opinions than you and a lot of the other posters on here about Spielberg's reboot/remake of the film version of West Side Story--so what? I think you're the one with the problems, not me. Btw, I happen to be a woman.
Frankly, I could not care less what you and a lot of other people think, moviefanatic505! Just because I openly disagreed with other people's viewpoints and stated my opinion doesn't mean that they're not entitled to their points of view. I'm just as entitled to openly disagree with them, that's all.
Oh, come on now! Just because I have a different opinion and said what I thought doesn't mean that I think that other people aren't allowed to disagree with me. I said what I thought also, so don't get feeling too snotty--or virtuous. Also, unlike the original poster on this particular subject, I don't go calling people who disagree with my point(s) of view of Spielberg's reboot/remake of the film version of West Side Story "losers".
Oh, come on now! Those rave reviews that were given to the 2021 film version of West Side Story were more than likely bought and paid for. Sorry that YOU can't see that.
Ha ha ha! Those rave reviews that Spielberg's reboot/remake of the film version of West Side Story were more than likely bought and paid for, imho.
You've made a good point, jk90us. There was a ton of hypocrisy in Spielberg's reboot/remake of the film version of West Side Story. As I pointed out on a post on another thread on here, reboots/remakes of older classic films very seldom come out well, and the reboot/remake of the film version of West Side Story is no exception.
You're calling my opinion stupid just because it differs from yours, eh?!? Speak for yourself, Galactus03.
Frankly, Galactus03, I could not care less what you think of my opinions. I stand by everything that I've said on here.
In the first place, a lot of the Latino/Latina actors and actresses were not Puerto Rican. In the second place, many of them were born here in the United States, and many of them, including Rachel Zegler(who played Maria in the 2021 WSS film version), and Ariana DuBose, who played Anita in the new WSS film version, were born here in the United States, and they, too, spoke with false accents in the new WSS film.
David Alvarez, who plays Bernardo in the new WSS film version, was also born in Montreal, Canada.
You've made a point that's well taken, DMT. Ben Affleck got both in front of and behind the film scenes at the same time, and he ended up biting off more than he was able to really chew, as a result of taking on two difficult jobs at the same time, if one gets the drift.
That's true, Jes' Sayin', but Spielberg's reboot/remake of the 1961 film version of West Side Story, unlike the old, original 1961 film version of West Side Story, was way too heavy, and did not have lightness in addition to the heaviness, unlike the old, original 1961 film version of West Side Story.
Given the fact that West Side Story is a musical, it's also supposed to have some lightness to it, which Spielberg's reboot-remake of the film version of WSS did NOT have.
