Much better quality of video at Facebook than Youtube, but you have to go to Facebook, I guess, because here the quality seems comparable to me.

Broken Arrow
Composed and written by
Robbie Robertson
Who else is gonna bring you a broken arrow
Who else is gonna bring you a bottle of rain
There he goes moving across the water
There he goes turning my whole world around
Do you feel what I feel
Can we make it so that's part of the deal
I gotta hold you in these arms of steel
Lay your heart on the line this time
I wanna breathe when you breathe
When you whisper like that hot summer breeze
Count the beads of sweat that cover me
Didn't you show me a sign this time
Who else is gonna bring you a broken arrow
Who else is gonna bring you a bottle of rain
There he goes moving across the water
There he goes turning my whole world around, around
Do you feel what I feel
Do you feel what I feel
Ah can you see what I see
Can you cut behind the mystery
I will meet you by the witness tree
Leave the whole world behind
I want to come when you call
I'll get to you, if I have to crawl
They cant hold me with these iron walls
We got mountains to climb, to climb
Who else is gonna bring you a broken arrow
Who else is gonna bring you a bottle of rain
There he goes moving across the water
There he goes turning my whole world around
Turning my whole world around
Turning my whole world around
Turning my whole world around
This is the video I started days ago. By that, I mean, finding a song and movie the would get worldwide access on Youtube. Last night, as I stayed up to "watch" Rafa play in the Shanghai Final (I didn't really watch it with my usual concentration, although it was on another window on my MAC as I worked in iMovie). I was too interested in my video with Heath Ledger and Rafa, well, was a bit outplayed last night. Or should I say today, since it was Sunday in China.
Rafa lost to Nikolay Davydenko who played well.
Davydenko chose to receive first...something players all know about Rafa is that Rafa always has elected to receive when he has the choice. Most players, when they have the choice, elect to serve. So, I think players sometimes do this with Rafa to try to throw him into a discomfort zone.
Not that it made the difference. I am sure. Rafa never has an excuse.
Nikolay won in straight sets.
6-7(3), 3-6
Rafa had some great shots. Nikolay just played better, I think, in my limited viewing and listening to the sportscasters.
And now, about my video of Heath and The Four Feathers
Whatever glitches there are in this youtube, I apologize. Truly. However, it played smoothly at iMovie, as well as on Quick Time before I uploaded it at Youtube.
The Four Feathers is one of my favorite movies. I admire and adore Heath Ledger’s acting. And I so very much like the story and the writing. In this video, I concentrate on Harry’s (Heath's) special angel or spirit guide, Abou Fatma, played by the superb actor, Djimon Hounsou, Jack Durrance played by the outstanding actor, Wes Bentley. And I also concentrate on his other friends that Harry tries so hard to help, while they serve in the Royal Cumbrians. And of course, I focus a lot on Heath's Harry. So this is about friendship, loyalty, integrity and the journey Harry courageously took. The writer Michael Schiffer says it is also about redemption. I suppose it is, as Harry feels he must redeem himself. But to my mind, he had no need for redemption because of the reason that he didn’t want to go to war. Made sense to me.
When I made this video, I tested the song first by posting privately.
Then I tested The Four Feathers privately.
Both worked, then I proceeded. I learned my lesson previously with a Rod Stewart song which Warners Music Group rejected. I had Rod’s CD with Broken Arrow on it and selected the song, then went on the search to find an artist that doesn’t ban use on Youtube. I also learned a lesson with Brokeback Mountain - apparently watched over by NBC Universal.
Support artists and companies that don’t ban use on Youtube.

Transcript excerpt of The Four Feathers
Jack’s speech at the end of the movie:
You may be lost... but you are not forgotten.
For those who have journeyed far to fight in foreign lands know that the soldier's greatest comfort is to have his friends close at hand
In the heat of battle it ceases to be an idea for which we fight... or a flag.
Rather... we fight for the man on our left and we fight for the man on our right
...and when armies have scattered and when the empires fall away... all that remains is the memory of those precious moments we spent side by side.
