So you are a Rand fan as well? You always sounded like timber to me!! ;-) Oh,maybe you should have a separate post on music...you have the audience for it. Listen to Rachmaninov's 1st and 2nd Symphonies....more emotional, heroic, and moving pieces I know not! Aha! So you are a Rand fan as well? You always sounded like timber to me!! ;-)

When I watch it, I'm not 'only' immersing myself into the situation the movie creates. I'm thinking of the script writer, the director, & the producer who had the courage to make this film in this real world. If you notice, all the examples I've cited are of those individuals who went against the cultural norm of their times and in the process, made the world more meaningful. They remind us that one needn't be bound by one's society's norms - One can always rise above it. That's why Kumar, Mozart, & so on... Shailesh: Well, it depends on your point-of-view.

I have got to plan that trip soon. By the way, you should listen to Ravel's Bolero. I like the build up and the climax. Also, Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, both the adagio and the presto agitato.
