Bad hair day throughout for Sean Penn. Cameo role for a young Jack Black as one of Poncelet's brothers. Excellent final credits song by Bruce Springsteen.
An eye for an eye? IMDB 7.6/10
Rather liked the following parody, which I found while picture researching:
They hail me as one living, But don’t they know That I have died of late years, Untombed although? I am but a shape that stands here, A pulseless mould, A pale past picture, screening Ashes gone cold. Not at a minute’s warning, Not in a loud hour, For me ceased Time’s enchantments In hall and bower. There was no tragic transit, No catch of breath, When silent seasons inched me On to this death. . . . A Troubadour-youth I rambled With Life for lyre, The beats of being raging In me like a fire. But when I practised eyeing The goal of men, It iced me, and I perished A little then. When passed my friend, my kinsfolk Through the last Door, And left me standing bleakly, I died yet more; And when my Love’s heart kindled In hate of me, Wherefore I knew not, died I One more degree. And if when I died fully I cannot say, And changed into the corpse-thing I am to-day. Yet is it that, though whiling The time somehow In walking, talking, smiling, I live not now. |
