Wonderful, Typical Glass
I’ve long been a fan of Phillip Glass and his repetitive musical style, and find this CD to be a good example for people who don’t know his music. I believe that if you like this, you’ll like his other stuff. If not, then you probably won’t. I’m a big fan and have this music in my play list and find it a nice change from some of the other rock, jazz, folk, and world music i enjoy.

Amazing Creation
After seeing the Ballet, and hearing the music I had to own it so I could listen again. An artistic creation of the first rank.

Classical music of different kind…
Around 1980-Just when people thought it was impossible for anyone to compose “classical” music that was fresh, original and appealing, Philip Glass and his minimalist style came along. The idea is that the mood builds up in a repeatetive (trance-like) manner. On this CD, it is quite ineresting how Glass manages to create various moods, as well as, capture human emotions, in what may seem to be a very limiting framework. He makes very good use of orchestral colors through various instruments.

Other minimalist pieces that are also quite moving are “Nixon in China” by Adams and “Song of Sorrow” by Gorecki.

He works magic in film.
Perhaps it is true that the work of Phillip Glass has been of ambiguous nature; many different subconsciousness that would be drawn to his music and many alike would be pulled back in similiar impact or just simply stand in plain confusion. His music works perfect for the medium of film, not because there is another medium ‘filling up the void’ in his style, but it’s the commentary that it makes on the story while the film runs on its own. This music leaves much to the imagination of those filled with it, to tell their own story. It can handle almost anything one throws at it; irony, contradiction, pain, relief, comedic, anything, it will almost seem to work out well perfectly for certain individuals. Minimalism is a common label on this music, however it is precisely minimalism that leaves the mind to explore on its own. Classical greats like Bach, although in a similiar vein, still lay down the scenery in a more conspicuous manner than Glass. After all, this is contemporary art; and it will not work out well for those who do not have the audacity to create their own mental scenes but rather rely more on music for a more solid comprehension to come through.

Glassworks is an amazing album
Although I’d heard of Philip Glass I was quite unaware of his music until I attended a performance of The Upper Room by the Washington Ballet in October 2006. The music is by Philip Glass and the choreography by Twyla Tharp. It was one of the most memorable artistic experiences of my life. It was incredible.

I subsequently purchased Glassworks and find the music to be extremely powerful. I recommend this album absolutely. I find most of the pieces on the album to be profoundly moving. The last movement from “The Upper Room” is especially powerful and significant.

Hubby pleaser
Great flick. Easy for you to watch with the hubby while he appreciates the gift!!!

Soap Opera of Pre-civil War
North and South is about two friends, who attend and graduate from West Point. One friend is from the South and the other from the North. The Abolitionist were preaching about the evils of slavery, the brutality of the slave owners, and the inevitiblity of machines.

North and South is filled with action, carnage, tragedy, sorrow, joy, marriages, obligations, jealousy, true love, and passion. This is probably the best work for Patrick Swayze. Swayze acting and character were likely and complex, filled with emotion, anger, confidence, love, romance, and empathy.

“Gone with the wind” is a boring epic, in comparison too, “North and South”. North and South ranks among great Civil War movies, such as, “Gods and Generals” and “Gettysburg”.

South Carolina repulsion of Union law and confederacy too succeed from the Union sets the stage for the drama. The war with Mexico for Texas one campaign. The soap opera of family tradegy ends to the first Civil war battle.

Tradegy at Harpers Ferry is painful. Virgal’s prediction of blood happens as her husband is shot and killed. Billie and Brent marry. Whoredoms, backstabbing, betrayal, incest, abortion, infidelity, and adultery are source of embarrassment and degeneration of the chastity Mount Royal and Resolute Southern women. Pride hardens the heart of the Southern way of life - believing slaves were property and must be controlled by torture. Gentlemen rules reign supreme and honor maintained by dueling. Slave labour will endure because the North misunderstands - Uncle Toms cabin would end that. The machine would produce great wealth for Mount Royal but not free the slaves on the plantation even though one of the agreements was “no slaves”. The darkeness of slavery will not dispel immediately and hundreds of years of oppression can not be lifted with sacrifice. The destruction of the South seems speedily as they push five other states into succession. Brother against brother, friend against friend, and north against south.

Incredible, as good if not better than Gone With The Wind!
Incredible, as good if not better than Gone With The Wind! Stunning set design, incredible costumes and Oscar worthy acting, this stunning portrayal of the Civil War and the lives of the Hazzards and the Maines will take you in and capture your attention. You won’t want to leave until you have seen the entire trilogy! This hidden gem is a must see for most of the family (it’s a little racy and bloody for the under 16 crowd in my opinion). Men and women will love this movie, make a weekend of it!

Well made but not exactly Revisionist History
Plenty of talent on hand. Swazee comes off

best in here as Southern fighting for his

land (and later country), but badly stereo-

typed rest of cast (except for Leslie Ann

Down), especially Alley, Carradine and many

blacks (how about the Buckwheat meets Fred

Williamson act by Forrest Whitaker?!) hurts

overall production. Beautifully filmed and

edited like the sorry Broke Back Mountain,

but wastes too much time inputting the Pro-

ducer (especially Dave Wolper, I’m told…)

ideas. Yes, there are several redeeming

(white and black Southerns in here; especi-

ally Washington and Sally Reemus) but there

never was any guy named Bent who tried to

“off” CSA Pres. Jeff Davis, who is played

very well by Lloyd Bridges(, who comes off

much better than small-faced Hal Holbrook

as Lincoln). Also, where are the blacks that

fought for the Confederacy?! There where 100,

000 more than fought for the Yanks during the

war between the states. Also, no mention of

white or Indian indentured servants! Oh well,

that’s Hollyweird for ya, Y’all! Long live

the South! But go to atlanticbullionandcoin

dotcom for the real South, in DVDs and videos!

Nice soap opera
I liked the mini series. Acting is good. Scenery lovely. Costuming is superb. Gives the viewer a real feel for the place and time.

Unfortunately there are some things I don’t care for. Both sides, if there’s a character in one family there is another in the other just like that person. Some of the relationships are somewhat stale. The main villein is really two dimensional.

Both the southern main character and his northern counterpart fall in love with women socially unacceptable to their society. The northerner falls in love with and marries an irish catholic lass. The southerner falls in love with a girl who turns out to be the daughter of a harlot and an Octeroon (One african great grandparent). I would have prefurred something more open since history reveals there were quite a few gentle relationships between southern white men and women of african decent which would spare the audience this soap opera stuff.

Great scenerey. Wonderful scenes. Wonderful authentic costuming.

Just pathetic as sopa operas are.

Conditioned, frizz free hair
This is a great product for dry, frizzy hair with deep waves in some areas and coils in other areas. I comb this through my hair section by section while using a wide toothed-comb. It leaves my hair feeling silky and not too weighed down. I follow with a flat iron. Voila, smooth, silky hair!
