I realized that there are many young people here who may not have seen this movie.
Wonderful movie with the great Tilda Swinton. The inspiring Quentin Crisp plays the Queen who makes Orlando promise never to grow old. So Orlando changes genders through the years.
Here is the trailer
Here is a bit from the very end, it doesn't really spoil anything but one of my favorite songs. Coming by Jimmy Somerville. The movie is in English btw.
Lyrics to the song
QuoteI am coming! I am coming!
I am coming through!
Coming across the divide to you
In this moment of unity
feeling an ecstacy
to be here, to be now
At last I am free
Yes at last, at last
to be free of the past
and the future that beckons me
I am coming! I am coming!
Here I am!
Neither a woman, nor a man
We are joined, we are one
With the human face
We are joined, we are one
With the human face
I am on earth
And I am in outer space
I'm being born and I am dying
I am on earth
And I am in outer space
I'm being born and I am dying
I am coming! I am coming!
I am coming through!
Coming across the divide to you
In this moment of unity
feeling an ecstacy
to be here, to be now
At last I am free!
Yes at last, at last
to be free of the past
and the future that beckons me
Yes at last, at last
to be free of the past
and the future that beckons me
I am coming! I am coming!
Here I am!
Neither a woman, nor a man
Oh we are joined, we are one
with the human face
Oh we are joined, we are one
with the human face
At last I am free!
At last I am free!
I am on earth
And I am in outer space
I'm being born and I am dying
I am on earth
And I am in outer space
I'm being born, I am dying
At last I am free!
At last I am free!!!
Yes at last, at last, at last I'm free!
Yes at last, at last, at last I'm free!
