Pete Poslethwaite is possibly the best actor I've ever seen, a tiny gesture or look and he can make a 10 minute scene his own. RIP Pete.

Steven Spielberg called Pete the best actor in the world. He was right. I saw him on stage doing a thing called The Seven Masks Of Scaramouche Jones. One man show. Utterly compelling. Best thing I've ever seen on a stage. No expectation of ever seeing it bettered. God bless Pete.

Well... if you know the story about Rodrigo creating this piece of art it is even more heartbreaking... his wife was hospitalised after giving birth a baby and both of them, mum and son were about to die... he based his composition in the heart beating of his son, and the whole piece is a conversation to God... he is the guitar and Hod is the whole orchestra. His son eventually died... and the last chords of the adagio is his son's soul going up to paradise...

The story behind the Aranjuez Concert: the blind Spanish composer - Joaquin Rodrigo - was inspired during his honeymoon in the gardens of the city of Aranjuez. The work was composed in Paris where the author took refuge during the Spanish civil war. Upon returning to Spain, the manuscript written in Braille was brought. The concert of Aranjuez continues being the classic Spanish work that more royalties reports every year. Loaded with enormous sensitivity and passion, both its original version for guitar and Orchestra and this one for brass are fabulous.

Easily the best of the three. Brassed Off and the Full Monty was the subject of a case study in a film course I did, where Miramax timidly opened Brassed Off on a few screens with minimal advertising. 20th Century Fox threw caution to the winds, opened The Full Monty on a couple of thousand screens with tens of millions in publicity. Brassed Off earned $2.5 million. Monty earned 100 x its cost, $258 million. Both were Channel 4 films. Miramax for their parsimony lost out big time.

@CarmenFuchs_vulpecula-art3 жыл бұрын
I'm not British, but when we had English lessons at school ages ago we of course were talking about this horrible time the movie is set up in. In my country miners experienced similar things. Although the closing of the mines wasn't as horrible as in the UK, the workers lost a lot of respect and reputation. Once every miner received a lot of respect by the society, but over the past decades people more and more started to look down on them, because they do a dirty job and don't have any university degree whatsoever. They are working men (and women). It's a pity, because the job you do doesn't say anything about what kind of person you are or if you talented in something or not. Everyone deserves respect, and especially those who do a hard and dangerous job should be treated well. Back in school I didn't know about our miners, nor did I know a lot about classical music, especially not about the Concierto d'Aranjuez, its composer and the role this piece plays in Spanish culture. I was mainly watching because of Ewan McGregor. But this scene stook in my head all those years, and every time I hear this piece Pete Postlewaite comes creeping up my memory conducting the most beautiful and touching piece of music I ever heard. Recently I emigrated to Spain and only over here I realised what meaning this piece of music actually has. For many Spanish people it's closely connected to the court in Aranjuez and the royalty in general. It's difficult to explain, but it makes the scene even more tragic. No-one in this world should ever have to experience such a thing as the miners did. But it's on us to decide every day what is going to happen to our fellow people. But who cares about the unknown folks in other professions, the next county or even on the other side of the world? This is why we all need to have our own Pete Postlewaite conducting us away from this kind of events. Music is life. This is why our hearts have beats. Keep your hearts open and beating for those who need help. If music is the key, let it be.
