  1. The opening Prelude to Bach's English Suite no 3 in G minor. A great example of Glenn Gould's technical wizardry. He keeps a consistent detached portamento touch from beginning to end at very rapid tempo. It's a great listen.

    Your opinion sucks and you should feel bad.  That was perfect casting for reasons EskimoHorn stated.  

    "He ain't never been to no West Point and the onliest reason he Colonel is cause his daddy arranged it fo him, ain't that right"

    Not buying, like some of his men didn't buy it....is supposed to be part of the deal.

    Yeah, but he played Ferris Bueller just a couple years earlier. In 1989, whenever I saw Broderick on screen I didn't see Matthew Broderick, I saw Ferris Bueller. It was like watching Ferris Bueller cast in a heavy weight dramatic role, the superior officer to Denzel and Morgan Freeman and leading a tragic suicidal charge at the end of the movie.

     If I saw it for the first time today I might feel differently, but back then it was laughable to me.

    What if I told you it was written that way? He was supposed to be a young sheltered New Englander that was leading for the first time. Who had a lot to prove and whose death prompted one of the best finales to a movie ever.

    I understand that. But I still didn't buy Matthew Broderick playing that role for a second. JMO
