HEATH LEDGER ~ THE FOUR FEATHERS ~ TRIBUTE TO FRIENDSHIP, COURAGE AND INTEGRITY ~ BROKEN ARROW Video

SUPPORT ARTISTS WHO DON'T BAN USE ON YOUTUBE

The Four Feathers is one of my favorite movies. I admire and adore Heath Ledger's acting. And I so very much like the story and the writing. In this video, I concentrate on Harry's (Heath's) special angel or spirit guide, Abou Fatma, played by the superb actor, Djimon Hounsou, Jack Durrance as played by the outstanding actor, Wes Bentley. And I also concentrate on his other friends that Harry tries so hard to help, while they serve in the Royal Cumbrians. And of course, I focus a lot on Heath's Harry. So this is about friendship, loyalty, integrity and the journey Harry courageously took. The writer Michael Schiffer says it is also about redemption. I suppose it is, as Harry feels he must redeem himself. But to my mind, he had no reason to need redemption for the reason that he didn't want to go to war.

Jacks speech at the end of the movie:

You may be lost... but you are not forgotten.
For those who have journeyed far to fight in foreign lands know that the soldier's greatest comfort is to have his friends close at hand
In the heat of battle it ceases to be an idea
for which we fight... or a flag.
Rather...we fight for the man on our left
and we fight for the man on our right

...and when armies have scattered
and when the empires fall away...
all that remains is the memory
of those precious moments we spent side by side.

Lyrics of Broken Arrow

Who else is gonna bring you a broken arrow
Who else is gonna bring you a bottle of rain
There he goes moving across the water
There he goes turning my whole world around

Do you feel what I feel
Can we make it so that's part of the deal
I gotta hold you in these arms of steel
Lay your heart on the line this time

I wanna breathe when you breathe
When you whisper like that hot summer breeze
Count the beads of sweat that cover me
Didn't you show me a sign this time

Chorus

Do you feel what I feel
Do you feel what I feel
Ah can you see what I see
Can you cut behind the mystery
I will meet you by the witness tree
Leave the whole world behind

I want to come when you call
I'll get to you, if I have to crawl
They cant hold me with these iron walls
We got mountains to climb, to climb

Chorus

jopicca: Dear Sandra, your video is absolutely pertect! - And with this song it is heartbreaking beautiful and very touching. Thank you for this!***** Johanna

ilovemylifesblog: Johanna, I have been wanting someone to comment. So fitting it's you!! Danke! This was a project of love...just like all of yours. But, I think you are way ahead of my learning curve. I am improving, though, I feel. The trickiest part was splicing the music in about 5 or 6 places and making it sound like it isn't spliced. I always have regrets after finishing. Guess it is part of the creative process and nature.

jopicca: Oh I know very well, what you mean about "regrets" - but I think it is normal. (And in my comment the word should be "perfect" -just saw it). And it is perfect! And it shows your love, that is essential.

stillmissheath2: after all of the beautiful comments I have just read,all I can feel fit to say is a simple Thank You. I hope this will suffice. 5 ***** I wish I could give 100, as this video certainly deserves it. :)

cryingforheath1: I forgot to comment on this, but I favorited it, posted it on FB, and it was so beautiful that it brought tears to my eyes. Your video definitely did this beautiful movie justice. Absolutely incredible!
