movie appreciation

watched this really fantastic movie on wednesday.. or rather, the ending of the fantastic movie =) hehe. while "Together With You" as a title sounded like a snore at first, it was really quite a moving film, which made me re-evaluate china's ability to make (good) films. i was told that taiwan played a part in this too. so i dunno, perhaps its some reunification thing through movies hehehe =)

well the highlight of the film is the rendition of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D Major (opus 35). the third movement, allegro assai, when played in the movie, really made me wanna dash out and immediately purchase a violin AND the score. but thankfully, the lack of money (not to mention the lack of freedom) prevented me from doing that. that said, i'll get a violin and cello soon enough, and i'll play that song, and others (albeit not so flawlessly hahaha). just you watch.

a quick check online revealed the story behind the concerto to be quite something. and being the lazy person that i am, im just gonna copy and paste the url so you interested people can go read for yourself. and those not interested wont have to exercise your eyes (and finger). heh

here you go -> Violin Concerto in D Major

on a totally unrelated note, my toe nail is falling off sigh. half of it is already detached =S not AGAIN! its such a pain waiting for it to regrow (not to mention extremely embarrassing) i should purchase steel-toed caterpillar boots next time :P toes are fragile things!
