We are back
online along with an incredible experience with the Elizabeth: The Golden Age. We
had never watched that movie until last week and it was absolutely amazing! Our
attention was mostly focused on the soundtrack, and if you allow me the expression,
it was one hell of a soundtrack! The way how the emotional charge was smoothly emphasized
by the soundtrack was absolutely astonishing!
If we, on
the one side, watch a scene in which Philip of Spain emerges, an outrageous
song takes our attention as if we instinctively knew that Philip was a
character that was not supposed to be trusted.
If we, on
the other side, watch a scene in which Queen Elizabeth is the main character
the soundtrack evolves into a whole new level and our mind is invaded by feelings
of hope, portraying the image of Queen Elizabeth as a savior.
It is worth watching that movie not only because of the main story but also because of the
brilliant soundtrack that accompanies it.
Just a small speech to enhance the magnificence oh this movie:
''Can you imagine what it is to cross on ocean? For weeks you see nothing but the horizon, perfect & empty.You living in the grip of fear. Fear of storm, fear of sickness on the board, fear of immensity.So you must drive the fear down deep into your belly, study your chart, watch your compass, pray for a fair wind & hope, pure, naked, fragile, hope...At first, it's no more than a haze on the horizon, so you watch, you watch, then it's a smudge, a shadow on the far water. For a day, for another day, the stain slowly spreads along the horizon taking form until on the third day, you let yourself believe. You dare to whisper the word: Land, land, life, resurrection. The true adventure coming out of the vast unknown, out of the immensity, into new life new world.''
Pedro Nunes
The soundtrack of Elizabeth, the Golden Age evinces the 'immensities' of an Era full of challenges, misteries and unsuspected possibilities. This is what film music is about. Not only should it be entertaining to listen to but it should also provoke originality and arouse endless emotions. Well done! Interesting post!
