Re: The Red Violin WAS Re: playing outdoors

Karen-

Hope things go well with the shoot. Sounds like it should be a fun
experience for your daughter!

I too, found The Red Violin an amusing and entertaining film. Possibly
some of the Pope scenes may be a bit racy for some young audiences.

You're right about the 'survivability' of the red violin throughout the
movie... about the only thing they didn't do with it was use it for a
canoe paddle. :)

I liked the opening scene with Bussotti smashing the work of his
apprentice. "Now, put your anger into your work!" was such a great
line.

I also often recall the scene where Poussin kept speeding up the
metronome, pushing Kaspar to play faster and faster. Reminded me of my
great uncle pushing me in my playing when I was a kid... faster!
...faster! :)
