And on an other note...

 I'm kinda into looking up stuff..

I heard a classical piece in a movie and forced myself to try to find it online.., i heard it once before on this particular piece of 'America's got talent' and it quite stuck in my head!


I heard it again in this film with arnold Swarzenegger.. (or how is this even spelled correctly?!)

"TRUE LIES.."

And then it hit me.. and I looked it up..

this piece is actually made by Carlos Gardel

And it even has lyrics! 


note to self.. beautiful lyrics in espanol! (and no.. i cannot translate these lyrics no more.. so 3 years of Spanish down the drain!)

Por una cabeza De un noble potrillo Que justo en la raya afloja al llegar Y que al regresar Parece decir "No olvides, hermano, vos sabés, no hay que dudar" Por una cabeza Metejon de un día De aquella coqueta y risueña mujer Que al jurar sonriendo el amor que está mintiendo Quema en una hoguera Todo mi querer Por una cabeza Todas las locuras Su boca que besa Borra la tristeza, calma la armargura Por una cabeza Si ella me olvida Qué importa perderme Mil veces la vida ¿Para qué vivir? Cuántos desengaños Por una cabeza Yo juré mil veces, no vuelvo a insistir Pero si un mirar me hiere al pasar Su boca de fuego Otra vez quiero besar Basta de carreras Se acabó la timba Un final reñido yo no vuelvo a ver Pero si algún pingo llega a ser fija el domingo Yo me juego entero, ¿Qué le voy a hacer? Por una cabeza Todas las locuras Su boca que besa Borra la tristeza, calma la amargura Por una cabeza Si ella me olvida Qué importa perderme Mil veces la vida ¿Para qué vivir?


But as an instrumental it works too =)


Oooh.. how i want my hubby to be a little bit like mr Colin Firth in this movieclip.. 'Easy virtue'..

WOW.. I would love to dance like this.. doing this dramatic tango could be just what we needed..

the melancholy, the tristesse.. this is just over the top! Beautiful!


greetings from me.

I'm starting to see a pattern here....

 


Why yes.. everything is pointing towards BC.. (British Columbia)

The postcrossing card I just send...

the NUMEROUS tv shows AND movies i've been watching all points to the same place.. (Once upon a time,..) and Siren.. (even filmed in the same streets!!)

It's kinda spooky..

But i'm noticing a pattern right there!

EVEN THE BOOKS(movie) I'm currently reading points me in the canada direction!


I'm trying to get through the big books 'the clan of the cavebear' from Jean M Auel (and it's really though).. and now I got the chance to watch the movie from Clan of the Cavebear (with Daryl Hannah of course) and whaddayaknow... it's filmed on location at VANCOUVER freakking ISLAND!! 

But i'm still stuck here.. *puts little grunt*

It must be.. the HOLY GRAIL of some sorts?? Who knows.. (only the residents of Vancouver Island probably) But still.. the people in film business tend to know where the good stuff is located :D

 I found at the end credits of the movie stated it was filmed on location at Cathedral and Macmillan provincial park:

-->where is it located?



-->A bit more info: (https://bcparks.ca/macmillan-park/) 

Cathedral Grove, located in MacMillan Park, is one of the most accessible stands of giant Douglas fir trees on Vancouver Island. The park protects and preserves an internationally significant representative example of Douglas fir old-growth forest within the Coastal Western Hemlock Biogeoclimatic Zone.

Here visitors can stroll through a network of trails under the shadow of towering ancient Douglas fir trees, majestic pillars untouched by the modern world, some more than 800 years old.

Trails on either side of the highway lead visitors through the mighty stands of this coastal forest. On the south side you will find the largest Douglas firs, one measuring more than 9 metres in circumference. On the northern side of the road you’ll find groves of ancient western red cedar standing sentry over nearby Cameron Lake.



and on the side...

Even star wars has used this particular site for filming...

George Lucas shot scenes from Star Wars VI: Return of the Jedi in Cathedral Grove, and we can see why. The Grove was used as the backdrop for Endor, which is the planet that the Ewoks live on.


greetings!!
