(1998 Elizabeth also). <BR/><BR/>I've put the AG DVD in my pulling list, along with BJ DVD of course. And I will see Wilberforce again tomorrow! Can't wait!<BR/><BR/>But oh, I gotta finish my deadline first. Bummer!Ichahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201156394951497511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383949871470674121.post-92006377724420489282007-08-05T21:18:00.000+10:002007-08-05T21:18:00.000+10:00Hi Icha!

We're extremely lucky to have films of the calibre of Amazing Grace and Becoming Jane in such a close time span.<BR/><BR/>I agree with all your thoughts on the movie, every single one of them! I grew up learning about John Newton & Wilberforce (Christian home ;) and there is some amazing books out there that I'm certain you'll enjoy getting into (in your spare time, hehe).<BR/><BR/>It is the power and dedication and sacrifice in AG that I love - One man stood up and made a difference. Inspiring. And it's been the same throughout history - those how are truly good threaten evil corruption, and get turned on. In the case of those in AG, it was wonderful to see good finally triumph.<BR/><BR/>Good on you for taking your friends to see it, I've done the same. :) <BR/><BR/>Life-changing story filled with the creme of British acting, lovely cinematography, an excellent script (I think they handled the transitions very well thereby creating more 'punch'), and a beautiful soundtrack. <BR/><BR/>You can listen to samples here:<BR/><BR/>http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5664428<BR/><BR/>"Cheat the Law" and "Triumph" are amazing. Unfortunately the pipe band title song isn't on the CD. But, wasn't that a moment? The perfect was to end the film, paying tribute to those great men and women.<BR/><BR/>- MichelleMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17149333094566635594noreply@blogger.com
