I was going through my dvd list and saw a movie that was a cult favourite of mine. It's called 'The Crow'. The movie was made in 1994 and was directed by Alex Proyas (whom also directed the film, Dark City).
Brandon Lee played a rock singer whom was murdered on Devil's Night (the night before Halloween) and came back from the dead (resurrected by a crow) to avenge his and his girlfriend's murder.
Below is my favourite part, it's when Brandon Lee (The Crow) saves his young friend Sarah (played by Rochelle Davis) from being hit by a car. He tries to hide his face so Sarah could not identify him but purposely gave himself away by saying 'It can't rain all the time', a saying that is familiar to Sarah. He was hiding from Sarah because Sarah knows that he is dead.
Well, a movie could not be a real movie without some kick ass music sountrack right..? Well, this movie have some cool music from Nine inch nails, Stone Temple Pilots and my personal favourite, Burn by the Cure. The sountrack from the movie reached no 1 on the Billboard Top 100 charts in 1994.
If you have not seen the movie, the video is a good synopsis of the movie.
Brandon Lee was accidently killed on set while filming a scene, he was shot by a squib bullet load (a normal bullet with the primer or gunpowder removed). So ends the life of Bruce Lee's son, Brandon. He was so promising as an actor.
On his tombstone, was inscribe a passage from Paul Bowles book, The Sheltering Sky.
Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. And yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, an afternoon that is so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four, or five times more? Perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless...
Rest in Peace, Brandon.
