“Young Folks” is a surprisingly touching pop ballad duet. This song brought vividly to my mind the fragile and exhilarating moments at the start of a relationship where one discovers that someone else may in fact be willing to accept and love you.
These epic western novels from the screenwriter of Terms of Endearment and Brokeback Mountain are both high literature and great entertainment – a must read for anyone who enjoy humor, drama and the study of human nature.
Whatever you’ve seen or heard about this movie, don’t be fooled: this is not a romantic comedy. Instead Eternal Sunshine is a poignant trip inside someone else’s mind as his memories of a past relationship are slowly destroyed. Love suddenly takes on new meaning as its remembramce is being extinguished.
Through these two greatly entertaining novels, McMurtry chronicles the adventures of Gus McRay and Woodrow Call before the events described in Lonesome Dove. We follow their progression from their first hapless missions as junior Texas Rangers up to their retirement from rangering as seasoned and highly-effective veterans of a grueling series of Indian wars.
