I would also like to mention the huge success the guest authors were this month:
Mel Mann continued sharing some tips to have in mind when Buying a Digital Camera. You can take a look at Part 2.
Sanket Apte from Mumbai made his debut here in the blog and was kind enough to share some of his brilliant photographs in his posts Classics… and A Little bit of Uttaranchal..!!.
Oh, Canada; my home and native land. There are times when I loathe it and times when I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. These times are usually influenced by the weather, aka how much snow we get in winter and how long it stays for. I know, that’s so typically Canadian, but we get some pretty bad winters here in Saskatchewan. I guess some of the beautiful scenery makes up for it.
That’s the view from my house in spring. The trees are so green, the sky is a beautiful blue, the dandelions are growing to worsen my allergies and the farmer that rents our field hasn’t got his crops up yet. Our little boat, the Sherry Sue sits in the corner of this photo, like it always does until my father finds time to take the family fishing. Finding time to fish in the summer is hard for a beekeeper because summer is the only time we aren’t busy. But fall and winter are different stories. Continue reading »
What do you get when you put Tragedy, Adversity, Spirit and Heart together in the Form of Three Men And A Horse…
Seabiscuit.
I had only seen this Film Once maybe 4 or 5 years ago, and I hadn’t seen it in the Theater.
For the longest time I remember being so impressed by it, and surprised I hadn’t heard more about it.
Recently I made a point of watching it, and I Loved it even more.
Not only did it have Three of My Favorite Actors in it Tobey Maguire (Who I believe was injured in the making of this Film, which ended up causing a Delay in the Filming of Spiderman)…
Jeff Bridges who I think is Just Brilliant in general…
And Chris Cooper, who is just a Special Actor in General.
But I tell you, it was The Three of These Actors, and Characters Combined that Truly Made up The Heart of this Film…
The Three of These Characters come together with one Common Goal… To Take a Horse that’s been Taught to Lose…
And Defeat The Greatest Horse at that Time… Even though it had Better Breeding… And was Larger.
But it’s The Road That Leads Each of These Three Men Together, that Truly Defines Them… From The Worst Kind of Tragedy, To Being Beat Down by their Given Realities… Any of the Three of Them Could have just given up… But they didn’t.
No instead they Found Love in, and From One Another, which took the Form of a Beautiful, Spirited, Large Hearted Animal known as Seabiscuit.
I will say that this Film might feel a tad “Long” at times (I believe it’s 2 Hours 30 Mins Long), but I think that has to do with a Special Aspect of the Film that kind of Runs as a Line in and out throughout it, more than the actual length of the Film…
This Line is what I would call a “Dash” of “Documentary”… And when I say a Dash, I mean a Dash… Once in a while there will a Scene that shows Shots of Actual Footage from the time (As this is based on a True Story), which I find both “Charming”, and “Interesting”… If they were to leave these short “Splashes” of Reality from the Film, I think it would have made The Film something Less than it is… Which is a True Film of Fighting Against, and Through Great Adversity, and Coming Through on the Other Side, A Changed, Happier, Stronger and Better Human Being.
Watch it… Even if it takes you a couple nights to make it through it… It’s Worth it.
