it's a bountiful day in big heart land. all these gems! just discovered this one by accident, scoping out the new blogotheque videos. i know nothing about this band except that this song is awesome. that singer is wailing! rightfully so.
seriously though, whenever i feel confused about what my project is or what i am trying to do or what i am going to do, i watch amma. it just makes so much sense!
ok, so let's just get a few things out in the open:
1. the original star wars movies were AWESOME. especially for a six-year-old boy. 2. george lucas has since ruined star wars forever. 3. he even managed to ruin this ending when he re-made it in the late nineties.
that being said, this is a great beach party. who wouldn't want to party with ewoks?!?! ok ok, so it might be a little essentialist and colonialist, what with the indegenous, non-sensical, care-free ewoks, who play drums and dance in the woods, but they are cute as a button!
well friends, here is the second installment of my series on "beach party endings". i still can't watch the end of this movie without getting a little misty-eyed. it's so good!
A sampling of the amazing quotes found in this clip:
what is a beach party, you say? i'll tell you. a beach party is an ending of a film or play in which all characters rejoice and celebrate. everyone's happy, everyone's celebrating, the hero(ine)s have triumphed, all major characters involved feel better about life (maybe even the bad guys!), and good times prevail. actual beaches may or may not be involved. actual partying may or may not be involved. it could all be metaphorical or implied or....what am i saying, you know what i'm talking about! beach party!
so, fine friends, this is the first part of a series celebrating "the beach party ending". it happens way more often than you might think, and, coincidentally, i only love movies with beach party endings.
ok, first off, "The Phantom Tollbooth." i loved this movie and book so much growing up. it has a great beach party ending. in this final scene, the princesses of Rhyme and Reason are freed from their captivity in the castle in the air and return to a world that needs them. milo, the little boy who frees them, has just completed a wild and scary adventure....and now, it's beach party time!!!!
in love, ge
