Far and Away

I enjoyed it, especially the way it took many wrong turns for the “happy ending” to unfold.  I wasn’t even bothered by Tom Cruise.
Farenelli: What happens to those vienna boys when they grow up without their hormones attached?  This is a story of one of them.  He’s loved for his voice, but has trouble being happy because… well… you know.  What a bum deal.  Anyway, the singing was done by two singers – a man and a woman who’s voices were “morphed” together.  The result is rather bizarre, but I think it fits the character.  Farenelli was bizarre. It doesn’t matter if the voice sounds fake, I think it fits even better because of it.
