jeffpugh Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 [quote name='kafka' post='1450240' date='Jan 24 2008, 06:05 PM']wow. I loved it. When it first came out (when I was in highschool) I didnt like it. But as time went by I grew in appreciation for the great bard, and I realized that Buz Luhrmann's vision is brilliant. It truly takes on the spirit of a Shakesperean play performed in England while he was alive. Its one of my favorite movies.[/quote] [quote name='Laudate_Dominum' post='1450637' date='Jan 25 2008, 02:01 PM']Mine is like this one. I also have a phat long bow.

It was a bit mature for grade 9s I think, but it was quite clever. The whole newscast thing for the beginning was crafty, and it's interesting how they made the shakespearean speech as something natural for these two "warring" corporations, families, w/e.

Laudate_Dominum Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 [quote name='Sacred Music Man' post='1450651' date='Jan 25 2008, 03:22 PM']Just for the fun of it, show the longbow, eh?[/quote] I don't have any pictures of it and I can't find one just like it but it is a classic wooden longbow. One picture that looked a lot like it but was only a clipped image had the caption "York Longbow" so maybe that's what it is. It is really old too, maybe a hundred years old, and it still works good as new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudate_Dominum Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 This is close in size and shape but mine is darker and doesn't have black tips. I suspect mine is made of nicer materials although it is hard to say without more detail.

Antarctica might be an exception but who cares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
