"Heave ho, thieves and beggars, never shall we die!"

[darnaguen]

Mmh. Should the worst case scenario I described in previous post happen (which I hope and believe will not), I am willing to forgive AWE a lot simply because it has such a stunning score.
Zimmer really outdid himself this time and the new main theme has quickly become my second favourite hair-risingly emotional movie theme after the theme of Gondor in LotR.
And Hoist the Colours. Gods, do I love Hoist the Colours? <3

"The King and his men
Stole the Queen from her bed
And bound her in her bones.

The seas be ours
And by the powers,
Where we will we'll roam.

Yo ho, haul together,
Hoist the colours high.
Heave ho, thieves and beggars,
Never shall we die!"

Oh, that reminded me: I finally managed to write something.
I was just taking a shower the other day when inspiration hit me (I think I've mentioned the magical inspirational power of taking a shower before). What also inspired me was the Blackmore's Night song Loreley and some clips and early script pieces of AWE I've seen and read.
I wrote it in ten minutes, ergo it's short and all over the place and I kinda dislike the first part but I guess it has to be there in order to understand the following two. Here it goes:

 ------

In Her Eyes of Gold

Her eyes blaze with that all-too-familiar, headstrong flame as she squeezes herself in between him and that accursed whelp of hers, tugs on his arm and says something to him in a demanding tone.
What it is exactly that she says goes unregistered by him, but it hardly matters as she's not exactly in a position to demand anything from him, now is she?
But even if her words have no effect whatsoever on him, he cannot just wave off the power of those tawny-golden eyes with a disregarding flourish of a hand. Annoying, that.
Bloody siren, he thinks as he suddenly recalls an old tune about the golden-eyed enchantress of the river Rhine.

~~~

His heart breaks a little at the sight of mad hope and enthusiasm setting her eyes alight.
How he wishes he could be indifferent to this personal tragedy and just walk away, leaving her to be comforted by her dearly beloved fiancée.
Instead, he reaches out a consoling hand to her shoulder and she spins around at the rail to grace him with a mirthful smile that nearly shatters his heart altogether.
"Elizabeth... We're not back yet."
My poor Loreley...

~~~

She's more than a river queen now, standing there with a regal poise, bearing only the tiniest hint of uncertainty. He doesn't know what kind of circumstances led to her standing there instead of Sao Feng, Captain Elizabeth Swann, but knowing them both he has a vague idea.
"Will you never forgive me?" his sea goddess snaps with an exasperated sigh. And as soon as he has uttered the adamant "NO," he knows he has spoken the truth:
No matter how hard he tries, he will never be able to not forgive this woman.
A distressing damsel indeed.

You know, I saw AWE this morning: I was appointed to show it to some gentlemen from the firm and SEOL, and you're quite right about some scenes and plot twists. Quite an adventure, you'll love it and you might also hate it.

[darnaguen.livejournal.com]

Hmm, ouch. :s
Well, okay, I already know probably 95% of the plot and know for sure I'll be at least very tempted to throw waffles at the screen and curse the whelp to the Locker where he bloody well belongs.
But I'll give it a chance as long as they don't compromise Elizabeth's character and Jack is happy in the end. 'Tis all I ask.

[lumenlaulu.livejournal.com]

Well there's plenty of Jack to go around in that movie and his father is quote a fellow, many stunning scenes and very, very beautiful cinematography. You know Jack, he'll survive as long as there is rum. ;)

*headdesk*
Oh fine, not that I wasn't warned about it... *sigh*

Now, now. Wait 'til you see it for yourself and BTW: everything in AWE is awfully confidential. I might get sued if I tell you the whole tale before premiere. And that's a fact.

[darnaguen.livejournal.com]

I know that. The strictness of the security is ridiculous.
And I'm not giving up hope, not yet.

[lumenlaulu.livejournal.com]

Ridiculous, yes, definitely. Sometimes pre-premiere screenings are held with a security man watching over the shoulder and the film copies always travel under codenames... But wait until Wednesday, I also won't make my final judgement of the film before that.
