"Let It Go" Appreciation

[ever_maedhros]

More and more, I'm developing a fascination for listening to the same song in several languages. It's just so engrossing, gauging the different tone each language lends to a song. Pretty much goes without saying that anything in the Romance languages sounds especially wonderful.

Here's "Let It Go" in French (possibly my favorite):

And last, the language I'm really excited about, and can't wait until entire soundtrack is released, Japanese. I listen to a lot of Japanese music, especially rock, even though I know only five words or so. (Might be posting more about that later, if only to shake things up a bit.)

Can you tell I'm WAY too obsessed with this song? :)

In upcoming films there's this which I'm dying to see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwTU_-UpU9g

My absolute favorite is La Vita E Bella. It's in Italian with English subtitles, and it's a comedy-drama set during the 1940s-the Holocaust. it's absolutely gorgeous and completely heartbreaking and I can't recommend it enough. <3

Joyeux Noël is about 1/4 in English, I'd guess and the rest is subtitled German and French (it's French made) and it's SO beautiful even if it makes me cry every time. it's about the Christmas Truce during WWI so it's sort of a holiday movie but I watch it year round. (:

La Belle et la Bête (the 40s version, French) is quite interesting. A lot of things in Disney's Beauty and the Beast were taken from it instead of the original fairytale so it's fun to see how many later versions have been inspired by it.

Ladri di Biciclette (Italian) is an absolute classic and it's quite good. It was the first foreign film I saw.

Lancelot du Lac (French) is very..odd, shall we say? But it's really beautiful to look at and I love the way it portrays Lancelot and Guinevere's relationship.

That's off the top of my head but I know there's more than that. (:

Gah, all of these sound really good! Not sure if I'll be able to find all of them, but I'll certainly try! :)
