I'm still not going to buy the DVD, though

I watched Restoration last night.  Not bad, not bad.  Not quite the epic it seemed to be reaching for, but a good straightforward story and some nice performances.  Silly wigs, but I suppose that's to be expected.  And the guy playing Charles II was clearly having a terrific time with the role. 

I might be moved to buy the soundtrack, if it's available.  The real question is, did anybody screencap that one?  Because boy howdy, some of the visuals...  *snerk*  I'm thinking of that red feather in particular, of course.  It'd make quite the icon...

You know, of course, that you're being a horrible tease to those of us who have never seen the movie. I'm getting all kinds of mental images about what type of scene with a red feather would intrigue you... :-P

*laughter* So WATCH it! I think you'd like it.

As for the scene...let's just say I had no idea one could put a feather there. Not and make it stick, anyway.

YouTube can be your friend ... if you know the right search terms ... and the feather was exactly where I thought it would be, if it was getting such a reaction out of you.

*snerk* Such a minor thing, but the sheer ridiculousness of it made it memorable. Did you watch the whole thing or just that clip?

I love this movie. Was it great? No. But it was good and beautiful in its own way. And my favorite theme of redemption ran through it beautifully.

Yes, it hung together very well. There weren't any false notes. I have to add, having attended a Friends school once upon a time, I was deeply amused by the Quakers. Gotta love 'em.
