It begins with a journey. You must cross an ocean.Can you imagine - can you feel - what it is to cross an ocean? For weeks you see nothing but the horizon. All round you. Perfect, and empty. Your ship is small - tiny - a speck in such immensity...Pure naked fragile hope, when all your senses scream at you, Lost! Lost! Imagine it. At first it's no more than a haze on the horizon...So you watch, you watch...You dare to whisper the word - land! Land. Life...That - that - is the New World.
i just love the wardrobe from this era, i swear it feels like I was there in a past life victorian style clothes and the style from the 50s on women is simply amazing and classic btw did i mention this soundtrack rocks!!!
In the movie, when Sir Walter Raleigh (played by Clive Owens) describes the experience of sighting the New World (his "immensities") it is just mesmerizing and this music fits the scene perfectly.
