I wonder if YouTube links are allowed on this thread now? It used to just post a url to the link but now it posts a full image with it.
Time has a way of blurring pre-laid lines.
I haven’t heard of that movie but I’ll look into it. I’d be up for a theme of horse movies after such a good start with Warhorse.
I’ll check out Seabiscuit. I’m also tempted to watch ‘National Velvet,’ which is also a horse movie and was Elizabeth Taylor’s breakout role when she was a child.
yes I’ve seen Taming of the Shrew it was on tv randomly one day and I started watching it out of curiousity for it being a Shakespeare movie and kept watching it because the acting was so good. It was only after I realised it was ET and RB because I didn’t know much about them at the time. It’s a role that suits them both well - ET with her fiery antics and RB with his baritone voice and Bard acting background.

I replied to my own https post with the large picture, and that shrank it down to pretty much just the song title and singing group. Then I removed the original post with the large picture by editing and Xing it out. I think it now qualifies well enough as "text only".
Yes Taming of the Shrew has very much outdated values, which was normal at the time. I kind of like to see writer’s, or people who I look up to in general, to think outside the box and so it would have been better to see Shakespeare be a bit more of a feminist. Although I think he wrote a lot of his plays with needing to be approved or appealing to the Royal family, so his plays would have had to have been typical of its time in order to be accepted.I found it funny and I agree the acting was good. They have made so many versions of that film with different actors but that’s the best film because I’m of them too. ET is firein it but then Richard b gives it some too. I love old movies. Yes, they can be outdated values but that was normal during the time the movie was made.
I don’t know what it is astrological wise, I could do with looking at themes on astrotheme, but there is a different kind of beauty to the old Hollywood stars. Unreal, jaw dropping kind of beauty. Even the makeup is so stunning compared to this day and age and that’s strange especially as there is more available in makeup nowadays. More advanced
What's the name of the song? I'll check it out. Oddly more than one person has said that Halsey's song "Colors" reminds them of me....I replied to my own https post with the large picture, and that shrank it down to pretty much just the song title and singing group.

In the song, it's an outlaw, singing to his horse as they ride through the night. Thought c.t. might like it.
The lyrics are by Woody Guthrie.

Yes I love the Hollywood beauty, I know Marilyn Monroe’s era had Neptune in Leo which describes the Golden Age of Hollywood well, although Elizabeth Taylor has Neptune in Virgo, but she has Neptune aspects and Pisces placements.
A lot of people think that the hourglass shape was more popular back then due to MM being famous for her curves but actually ‘thin has always been in,’ and MM in particular was slated by the press for being overweight. It was only in the 60’s due to medical/illness problems and surgeries, that MM lost weight and was even thinner than she was in her early 20s. She did look amazing.
As for Elizabeth Taylor, even though she was plump and her weight fluctuated a lot, she wasn’t slated as much. This was probably because MM was famous for being a sex symbol, whereas ET was a mother and had been an actress since she was a child, so she was more accepted by the industry, and the press was easier on her too, with regards to her weight anyway. Although during the beginning of her affair with Richard Burton, the press erupted and coined the affair ‘la scandalé’ and the affair was even condemned by the Vatican!
But anyway, for beauty standards, women have always had the pressure to be skinny. It’s probably because of its youthful connotations.
