THINGS YOU WON'T FIND HERE (I didn't forget them, I simply didn't want them in my video, I'm a woman who loves good movies and I'm very demanding about female characters):
· Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu as "Charlie's Whores"... I mean, Angels.
· Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft in "Tomb Raider", I think she kicks ass but I find the films pretty lame, forgettable.
· Demi Moore as "G.I. Jane", cause I don't like Demi and the film is disappointing (considering it was directed by R. Scott).
· Keira Knightley in "King Arthur", "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Domino", cause even I could kick her skinny ass.
· Kate Beckinsale in "Van Helsing" and "Underworld", cause I don't buy her as action woman, she should stick to romantic comedies.
· Natalie Portman in "The Attack of the Clones", cause she's not a heroine nor a politician, she's a manequin.
· "Aeon Flux", "Ultraviolet", "Elektra", "Tank Girl", "D.O.A. (Dead or Alive)", "Resident Evil: Apocalipse", "Bloodrayne" and "Catwoman", cause they're bad movies.
SPECIAL THANKS to Quentin Tarantino, James Cameron, Robert Rodriguez, Renny Harlin, Ang Lee, Zhang Yimou, Luc Besson, Kathryn Bigelow, Tim Burton, Zack Snyder, Curtis Hanson, Doug Liman and Ridley Scott, for giving us such great action women. タグ:actionwomencinemamoviesbest 投稿日: October 15, 2007, 6:00 pm 閲覧数: 204632 投票: 4.70(５点満点) 284 人の平均

Dejanira from "Hercules" (HWV 60)
Where shall I fly?
Where hide this guilty head?
O fatal error of misguided love!
O cruel Nessus, how art thou reveng'd!
Wretched I am! By me Alcides dies!
These impious hands have sent my injur'd lord
Untimely to the shades!
Let me be mad!
Chain me, ye furies, to your iron beds,
And lash my guilty ghost with whips of scorpions!
See, see, they come! Alecto with her snakes!
Megaera fell, and black Tisiphone!
See the dreadful sisters rise!
Their baneful presence taints the skies!
See the snaky whips they bear!
What yellings rend my tortur'd ear!
Hide me from their hated sight,
Friendly shades of blackest night!
Alas, no rest the guilty find
From the pursuing furies of the mind!
-------------
The despair and guilt over the death of her beloved Hercules drive Dejanira mad. Horrified that she has become the agent for Nessus' revenge, she has a vision of the furies (Alecto, Megaera, Tisiphone) rising to torment her guilty soul.
"Although as Rinaldo, Giulio Cesare or Amadig I had wonderful music to sing, it was the female figures in the mezzo-soprano range that had a great deal more flesh and bones as characters; they were marked by many more layers and colors, they were more daring and bolder, darker, more malicious, more passionate, more insane, etc. Most often they turned out to be the actual masterminds and principle figures in the respective operas."
[Swiss mezzo-soprano M.R. Wesseling]

If you like this, go buy the CD (it's definitely worth it!):
