¨The way we were¨. Película y canción, sencillamente fabulosas

¨The way we were¨, tenía varios años sin volver a ver esta película. No se si la han visto, si no, recomiendo verla, su lírica me fascina,  con la fabulosa interpretación de Robert Redford junto a Barbra Streisand, su primera película (ellos me fascinan), es que además toca acontecimientos políticos de EE.UU desde la época de los años 30 a los 60. 

Sobre la cacería de brujas  en Hollywood, la Guerra Civil española y Franco, el Partido Comunista Americano o la Segunda Guerra mundial, en una mezcla de drama donde lo que vamos dejando atrás sale a relucir, o sea, nuestras ilusiones aquellas, oh, muy personalmente me causa mucha tristeza, con un final  tan realista debe ser por lo intensa, tan increible que da para derramar lágrimas. Pero es que además, como para acompañar el sentimiento está la canción que llegó a ganarse el Oscar.

Ojalá te animen a verla. La considero una joya del cine. De esas películas para mí, como West Side Story, Love Story o The Sound of Music, y ésta, The way we were, dejan huella. Y la canción, de las grandes, sencillamente fabulosa.

The Way We Were

Barbra Streisand

Mem'ries light the corners of my mind

Misty water-colored mem'ries of the way we were

Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind

Smiles we gave to one another for the way we were

Can it be that it was all so simple then

Or has time rewritten every line

If we had the chance to do it all again, tell me, would we, could we

Mem'ries may be beautiful and yet

What's too painful to remember 

We simply choose to forget

So it's the laughter we will remember

Whenever we remember the way we were

The Way We Were

Barbra Streisand

Mem'ries light the corners of my mind

Misty water-colored mem'ries of the way we were

Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind

Smiles we gave to one another for the way we were

Can it be that it was all so simple then

Or has time rewritten every line

If we had the chance to do it all again, tell me, would we, could we

Mem'ries may be beautiful and yet

What's too painful to remember 

We simply choose to forget

So it's the laughter we will remember

Whenever we remember the way we were
