    The happy highways where I went

    Nichalos Roeg died today.
    In 1971, I had my Mom drive me to the classic Art Deco Hackensack Fox theater to see "Walkabout" at age 11. My life was changed at that tender age by the beauty of the visually-rich drama. The film is full of gorgeous images, fascinating soundscapes, and quietly disturbing scenes that create an evocative and powerful piece of art and commentary. Walkabout is a rite of passage filled with upsetting series of events meant to comment on the contrasts between Western and traditional cultures, as well as the loss of innocence. I never looked at the world the same way again.
    Roeg, who mastered panoramic visuals that were somehow very intimate, filmic techniques that produced jarring contrasts through editing, sound recording, and narrative third person camera language that placed you in the center of the action.
    Certainly one of my all time favorite cinematic storytellers that has a film resume with some of the most revolutionary 70s movies ever made. "Dont Look Now", "Bad Timing" and of course possibly the greatest film of the 70s "The Man Who Fell To Earth"..
    A great loss. Gods Speed Mr. Roeg. Thank you for your art and masterful storytelling. We wont see your like again soon....

I understand that it is the greatest of all emotions; it teaches us the value of all things priceless. You don't see animals crying with tears.. only humans can understand the overwhelming beauty that all things lost, gone or unattainable inflicts upon us. As the old poem goes..
      "I Love & Hate. Why I do this perhaps you ask? I do not know. But I sense it happening & I am tortured".

      Nothing last forever I'm sorry to confess. However, John's art has survived so far, & shall more than likely outlive all alive today.
      If you like sad music & want to hear something a little more modern, you may (or may not!) allow Ólafur Arnalds to grow on you. I recommend 3 titles: Fök, This Place Was A Shelter, & For Now I Am Winter. Trust me, he is mixing Classical & Clandestine Synthesizers as John did. ;)

Many years later when he was suffering from Alzeimers I managed to find my real father, a kind, loving, gentle, intelligent man who I have now missed for 16 years. With tears streaming down my face,I would like to thank John Barry and if I may, dedicate this fantastic song to all you lovely people out there who have been misunderstood and to any child that is at present going through the traumas that I did. It does get better as time passes but I do wish I'd been hugged instead of beaten.

    What to add to the comments already made about this spectacularly heart wrenching piece of music?
    Everything you've all said. It still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up every time I hear it.

    Haunting, mesmerizing, beautiful... just some of the words to describe the power of this music. Alas, I lack the vocabulary to give full justice to John Barry's score.

    第一次看此片是上中学时,央视播出删减版。片尾那段诗歌念白时,父亲说这片子拍得真棒。我那时懵懂中也觉得这个电影很特别,有一些心灵上的触动。我长大后有了网络,我又结婚,离婚。北上广深最后回到家乡。无意间找到片源,下载重温,才真正看懂它的深意,从此收藏在电脑中。而今我的父亲年已古稀,罹患肺癌。今天不经意间翻看以往回复,又来到这里。当音乐响起,眼泪不争气的流下来。电影中的小男孩,其实就是导演的儿子。而我的父亲,也是一名默默无闻的电影工作者。人生就像一场电影,我有一位出家的师父,他曾对我说,我们每个人,都在一边演电影,一边看电影,我们各自创造者世界的一个小小角落,而当我们离去时,电影会继续。

    into my heart an air that kills from yon far country blows, what are those blue remembered hills, what farms, what spires are those, that is the land of lost content, i see it shining plain, the happy highways were i went, and cannot come again. A. E. Housman

    I first saw Walkaout on tv at random. I had previously never heard of it, and I was just mesmerized... by the music, photography... the poem... by Jenny. I saw it a few more times on tv, and it just completely continued to mesmerize me, and then I saw the uncut version on the big screen at a revival house. I just love this movie.
