This brilliant movie from Quebec Directed by Monsieur François Girard
asks I believe, the following question about those things that are
beautiful that we exit with - whether a violin (as in this case),
ideas we might hold as a peoples (generally speaking), the music we
listen to, the women we admire and love etc.

The question is this: do all minds on the planet equally recognize earn create
develop appreciate nurture and therefore deserve things of beauty equally?

Do all know the real thing from a fake? Do some have to steal from
others to attain things etc of beauty as described above from those
that have a more rightful claim to them? Could it be perhaps that some are
simply more deserving and deserve to appropriate from the planet whatever
they desire in order to meet needs they feel come before those of others
in consideration of what they might objectively or subjectively perhaps
too consider of merit? Have some simply had too much for too long in the
minds of others on the planet and now wish a turn?

Oh well, that my take on the movie. I think the star of the show
(Greta Scacchi) should be remembered when she was at her best as
seen I would say in the 1987 greatest movie offering "White Mischief"
(a 10MB H.264 clip from that movie is included for you to enjoy).
Its too bad she hasn't some of the luster she once had - but then she was
mainly ignored by Hollywood misfits who run things who have never so far seen
fit to release that greatest movie onto DVD or (now) blu-ray for us
in what is clearly an indefensible show of arrogance and lack of good
taste generally speaking I have to say perhaps too. Oh well, at least
the folks in Europe gave her some credit for her great beauty back then
as Germany had the good sense and taste to offer her movie in a dual
English-German DVD copy (which I do have posted here for you in a couple
of formats at least). (She is German Italian by birth by the way).

enjoy today's movie and please seed for the folks
thanks kindly
