My dad was a commando in WW2 (8th Army, 9 Commando) he saw active service in North Africa, Italy and Greece. When he retired my mum and dad moved to Exmouth in Devon. Close to CTCRM (Commando Training Centre Royal Marines) Limpstone. My dad was a very quiet, unassuming man who did not garner public adoration. But when he passed away I was very surprised to see probably around 30 serving Marines attend his funeral. They came to honour an old soldier who'd served over 50 years previously. Marines are in a league of their own.

I'm italian. Sometimes I think about what was the feeling and the thinkink of those young boys who are involved in the second world war. A great sacrifice. A fortune is to be safe and to get older after that period of crazyness. Thanks to your father and the others. Imagine like also me was at his funeral, I was with my heart 👋

[@maryleone2023]

It is sad that it did not get the recognition back then that it enjoys now. Ennio Morricone was a genius and ahead of his time. The Good, The Bad and the Ugly was not well received in the US when it first came out. Now it is a world wide cult film. Sergio Leone chose Morricone to score the films and let the music tell the story since there was little dialogue.

[@garfieldsmith332]

@@maryleone2023 Yes, it is very sad. The US could not accept a western done by others that was better than what they made. It was the movie going public that saw the genius of Morricone and Leone. In a different time films like GBU would have won Academy Awards. Morricone should have won at several Academy Awards prior to The Hateful Eight. The Mission, The Untouchables, Battle of Algiers, Once Upon A Time in the West, Bugsy. And there are several more that should have been nominated. A friend of mine has visited Europe many times and he said many cafes and restaurants have trios or piano players, or violinists who play Morricone music for people to listen to as they dine. He was a genius and we are fortunate they they still release his music today.

[@Noname-xi7xi]

@@garfieldsmith332 Yes, it was unaccetable that "Spaghetti Western" were actualy better than most films made by the "Yanks" and hence they were regarded as B-movies and held back until the audience realized what the truth was and finaly they started shinning as deserved; Ennio Morricone just spread that magic over those films and made them all eternal for us to enjoy.

Das beste und schönste was ich bisher in meinem Leben, in dem ich bereits 59 mal die Jahreszeiten erleben durfte, gehört habe. Es ist ergreifend vor allem der Gesang. Was ergreifende ist denkt ein jeder an etwas was ganz besonders für ihn ist... Die meisten Leute sagen man lebt nur einmal. Aber das ist nicht so richtig... denn man stirbt nur einmal und leben das tut man jeden Tag. Macht bitte alle das Beste daraus und denkt nicht nur an euch. Gerade jetzt in dieser Zeit mit Krieg nicht weit von uns entfernt ist das besondere wichtig.

[@helpstopanimalabuse8153]

I play in the The Bands of HM Royal Marines at the moment. Are you referring to our band. I know that we are a very high quality but i haven't heard being referred to best in the world before. When i joined it , it was called Her majestys Royal Marine band. We have members all over the world. I am based in Australia but we do a lot of travelling for band engagements. It was very, very, sad when the Queen passed away.

Marines are magnificent. My uncle stormed the beaches of Peleliu Island (Macarthur was taking back the Phillipines) losing an arm & awarded the purple heart. He was always grateful to have one arm left he said! 1st Division Marine Corp suffered 6,500 casualties but won the day. What utter guts! Think about that number & not giving in. When he died 60+ yrs later a full contingent arrived draping the coffin in the flag & carried him out. Marines never forget their fellow warriors. Fierce in battle but superb gentle men in peacetime. If your lucky enough to have one as a neighbour know that you are safe. Marines are the finest men God put on this earth. Balls of steel. Let`s hear it for the Marines.

Morricone: un regalo dall'Italia per tutti gli amanti della musica.

[@PietroColombo-em5mz]

L' Italia e chiunque altro, regalano nulla. Il talento di Morricone, appartiene a lui, non certo a me o altri.

[@federicomaderno512]

@@PietroColombo-em5mz Pensavo che il clima culturale, la tradizione artistica, gli antesignani, le esperienze estetiche di un Paese contribuissero a formare un musicista. e invece scopro che un Morricone avrebbe potuto nascere anche in Finlandia; ma guarda caso, così non è stato.

[@PietroColombo-em5mz]

@@federicomaderno512 Vero, ma persino in una piccola realta' come l' Islanda, un personaggio come Bjork, che non amo ma di cui non posso disconoscere il talento, ha saputo crearsi una reputazione eclettica e internazionale. Merito del paese? A mio modesto parere, no. E' un po' retorico e arbitrario, impossessarsi " culturalmente " come "nazione", dei successi dei cittadini. Dubito che la Germania del kaiser e, ancor piu' quella di Hitler, possano dire che Einstein, sia stato un dono del paese, agli amanti della scienza. Pure Fermi e i ragazzi di via Panisperma, avrebbero qualche obiezione, sul ruolo del "paese".

[@federicomaderno512]

@@PietroColombo-em5mz Certo che Einstein è stato un dono della cultura tedesca. Ovviamente di quella migliore, altrimenti, siccome in ogni Paese qualche folle è pur sempre nato, non ci sarebbero nemmeno esempi positivi. Credo che tutti gli scienziati, al di là delle proprie capacità personali, debbano molto al clima culturale del Paese dove sono nati, alle risorse accademiche, alla tradizione degli atenei dove hanno studiato. Un Volta e un Galvani, tanto per fare un esempio, sarebbero stati tali se non avessero avuto alle spalle l'Alma Mater di Bologna? E se Fermi fosse nato in un villaggio della Tanzania, cosa avrebbe fatto?
