~Gideon quoting Yeats Poem~
Far off, most secret, and inviolate Rose, Enfold me in my hour of hours; where those Who sought thee at the Holy Sepulchre, Or in the wine-vat, dwell beyond the stir And tumult of defeated dreams; and deep Among pale eyelids heavy with the sleep Men ha...( read more)

Great and sad movie that hardly anybody knows about. Check this one out for sure. Wish they would release it on DVD in the USA. Somebody from Italy said it was already released on DVD but that must be in Europe. I will hope for a USA release some day.

My Favorate Quote from Gideon!
You have a modest humor, Gideon. I appreciate that. So many men today are filled with their own self-importance. They wear their success and intellect for the world to see. But they are merely shields. A true man is not afraid to show himself... his inner self. He relies on who he is, rather than what he is. I have always thought that one should move through life accumulating silent victories. I believe that you are such a man, Gideon. One who walks the quiet road
