Have you ever seen this movie "Thorn Birds"? This was shot in 1983. I never watched old movies and never into the good old classics. But this one is probably the best movie I have ever seen in my life. Such incredible powerful story. In 1990 when we were moving to Australia, I got lots of cards from my classmates in Wesley Girls high school. I remembered at the time a few of my friends wrote "you are so lucky to go to the country of that Thorn birds movie!" I didnt' know what they were talking about. 19 years later! I finanlly understand!!

I just happened to go to the libruary to get a Warren Buffet biogaphy to have a read. Then I saw this DVD. The background of this movie is in outback Australia. At first I have no idea what's about. I thought "Forbidden love between a priest and a young girl. Gee that's very erotic. I like that. Priests and monks are the two kinds of men that you can never get. I found that idea very exciting. I love what i can't get big time. So i just borrowed it. The story is way beyond that!! The whole movie lasts for 7 hours (so there goes my sunday afternoon). The story also covers three generations. On top of that the scenery and acting are  extraordinary. Love story is intense but the power of the movie is beyondhuman desire, religion and choices. It's incredible. A movie that lasts in your mind for a long time. You have to see this one.

There is this special feature of interview for actors to come back after 26 years. Gee they were so hot in the movie when they were young. So interesting to see what they are like now.
