[@GhostMFK-JHB]

Fun fact: CRY ME A RIVER was originally written for a movie called Pete Kelly's Blues, where it was to be sung by Ella Fitzgerald (originally sang by). However the producers of the movie objected to the line "told me love was too plebian", saying that a black woman wouldn't use a word like 'plebeian". The songwriter refused to change the lyrics, so they dropped the song. A year or two later, the song was used in another movie, The Girl Can't Help It", where it was sung by Julie London. It was the only Number One hit she ever had.

[@johnwatson2887]

How petty and stupid! Well, at least Ella did record the song...more than once, I think, WITH the word "plebian."

[@MrStevenrgarfinkel]

Long ago I was one of those young guys that had a great Jazz collection but we all wanted her albums because she was a great singer but her covers were artwork - early exotic portraits - emulated by so many later - her album covers are priceless. This may not be the best cover ever, but it is the most enduring - the one everyone refers to and remembers - plus - she was married to Jack Webb and they were the It Couple - he took her to many police functions and of course, she was the star. Then she had that long soap opera career on Emergency - gave up singing - again, she was the star -hard to take your eyes off her - and that husky voice - Dina Shore was the only person that got her to sing a few bars on her show -

[@minashortcakes5670]

In my head, V survives. He goes back to Evey but she's obviously pissed because she's been hurt and has already mourned losing him. "No more lies, you said. Yet you lied about dying, too!" So she shuts him off even though he tries to explain. V eventually comes home to the Shadow Gallery and plays a song in the Jukebox to distract himself. He doesn't look, and just presses a button. It plays this song, as if spitting out the unspoken bitter words of Evey. He doesn't believe in coincidences-- never had. So, determined not to give up, he does what he is best at doing. He plans of ways he can win her back, poring over strategically manipulating events that will bring them together (a broken elevator at her work, maybe? And-- oh, hello Evey! Fancy seeing you here. I was also about to attend a gathering here that absolutely no one has invited me to. How have you been doing?), and rehearsing the words he would say. He thought of using lines from books, but knows that being vague about his point may probably anger her more. It is in the middle of this that she catches him, coming to a stop at the entrance of the living room and staring at him as he is apologizing to his "fat metal friend". He notices her not too long after and wishes for the train's existence, hoping for it to hit him and take him away from this embarrassing predicament. "I heard all of that." She simply states while trying to maintain a straight face. She fails, the upward tilt of the corners of her mouth being a dead give-away, and V feels like now he REALLY wants to die. "Why don't we have some tea?" She commands more than suggests. All he could do was to follow her to his kitchen and set the kettle to boil while thinking with nervous apprehension that this is going to be a long night.

Το συγκεκριμένο τραγούδι ( εκπληκτικό κατά τη γνώμη μου ) είναι η μοναδική επιτυχία της Julie London στα βρετανικά ( 22 ) και αμερικανικά ( 9 ) charts ως single. Μάλιστα την έκανε σε ηλικία 40 ετών, όταν αποφάσισε να κάνει στροφή στην καριέρα της και να κάνει κύριο επάγγελμά της το τραγούδι αντί του κινηματογράφου. Σημαντικό ρόλο σ' αυτή της την απόφαση έπαιξε ο δεύτερος σύζυγός της Βοbby Troup, συνθέτης της κλασικής επιτυχίας Route 66, που μεταξύ άλλων διασκεύασαν και οι DEPECHE MODE στα τέλη της δεκαετιας του '80 ( αυτό σίγουρα το θυμάσαι! ). Το " Cry me a river " ακούστηκε το 1957 στην ταινία του Little Richard " The girl can't help it ". Καλή ακρόαση και πολλά φιλιά σε σένα και τον συνονόματό μου!!! ΧΑΧΧΑΧΧΑΧΑΧΑΧΑ!!!!

[@Bluestu100]

Here is what he says: Good evening, London. Allow me first to apologize for this interruption. I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of every day routine- the security of the familiar, the tranquility of repetition. I enjoy them as much as any bloke. But in the spirit of commemoration, thereby those important events of the past usually associated with someone's death or the end of some awful bloody struggle, a celebration of a nice holiday, I thought we could mark this November the 5th, a day that is sadly no longer remembered, by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat. There are of course those who do not want us to speak. I suspect even now, orders are being shouted into telephones, and men with guns will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the now high chancellor, Adam Sutler. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent. Last night I sought to end that silence. Last night I destroyed the Old Bailey, to remind this country of what it has forgotten. More than four hundred years ago a great citizen wished to embed the fifth of November forever in our memory. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice, and freedom are more than words, they are perspectives. So if you've seen nothing, if the crimes of this government remain unknown to you then I would suggest you allow the fifth of November to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, then I ask you to stand beside me one year from tonight, outside the gates of Parliament, and together we shall give them a fifth of November that shall never, ever be forgot The film itself centers around Eve (Natalie Portman) and the British terrorist V (Hugo Weaving) and how the corruption of the government needs to be ended. The futuristic world had been born through the rampage of an illness and plague that had devastated the modern world. The story unfolds to tell of Chancellor Sutler who rose to power (oddly similar to the way Hitler rose) and created a government that is oppressing the peoples liberty. V searches to start a revolution - with Eve at his side - to overthrow the oppression and create a new democracy. The specific scene I've chosen is one from the start of a movie where V hacks into the television network and broadcasts about the Fifth of November and how he sees the need for change. The scene itself displays the ideals of democracy and the necessity of people to be heard and recognized within their government. V specifically states to the people that "but if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as i seek, then I ask you to stand beside me" showing his values in that the government must change in order for progress to be made. He also recognizes the value of the fear that can cause a society to cower under their government and to allow their government to be allowed free reign. V says this: "Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the now high chancellor, Adam Sutler. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent." His two main values he displays create a scene and speech that can honestly be considered unforgettable. V uses his words to attempt to create a new community - to bring people together in order to make their voice be heard. He takes ideals and places them in the minds of people to create a sort of likeness within them in order to start the desired revolution. V seems to use this speech within the scene to create the truth that the government should serve the people - an ideal that's been around for quite a long time - and that if the government is unable to do so, a change should be instigated. V is explaining that the people in a nation should not sit idly by and let their government be in charge, but should work to be a part of their government and to have their voice be heard.
