I would Greatly Wish To Meet Denzel Washington! I Admire him Greatly also because of his Very Down To Earth and Genuine Nature! He has always been and remains my Favorite Actor... Denzel is also a Very Spirtual, Compassionate and Humble Person... His Great Passion for Life and his Work are Truly Remarkable... His Genuine Spirit is revealed in the Soft Spoken Man Of God that he surely is ... Hollywood is Most Fortunate for this Blessed and Talented Actor to bring out the Best in all of his Great Films...Denzel I Love You My Brother! And I look forward to meeting you one day... You have always Moved and Inspired me with The Great Passion you Display in all of your Wonderful Performances... It would surely be a Great and Sincere Honor and Privilege for you to Star in a Screenplay Movie I have Written! May God continue to Bless You!.... Forrest Whitaker is yet Another Great Actor with a Big Heart! Along with also Being a Very Genuine, Humble Spirited and Down To Earth Gentleman as well! I hope to meet him someday also!... Slyvester Stallone has The Heart of a Lion!.. Sly has always took up for the Underdog in many of his Films. I remember seeing The Movie ROCKY for the first time when I was a kid...The Main Genre of this Great and Remarkable Film was that Practically everyone thought Rocky was a loser. Along with this, nobody took him too seriously despite the fact that he had great Potential in Boxing... Rocky however wasn't playing any Games Either! He meant Serious Business! And he Worked very Hard to Prove Wrong every skeptic who doubted him! And Surely he Did Just That..... I also always admired Stallone's work in The Rambo Films.I saw the Previews for Rambo II when it was just arriving in the Theatres towards the Summer of 1985. I remember this giant orange sun coming into view and then the next moment seeing Stallone Shouting angrily from a helicopter along with the rest of the Film Trailer! I said to myself this Movie is surely going to be a Box Office Ticket! And Right I Was! What Great times those days were! The Chicago Bears Were Super Bowl Champions, which I was very Happy about!....... I vividly remember being over at my Best Childhood Friend Joe's house during the Summer of 1978...Were also both Italian by the way. I am often asked if I am Greek or Spanish though... Anyway Rocky II was in the Production works at the time... Joe's older Brother Tony who himself has always been a Huge ROCKY Fan, would enjoy listening to Chuck Mangione's version of The ROCKY Theme....Tony himself was also a Great Trumpet Player in High School for that matter..... Be that as it may, Magione Beautifully Performed the Theme from ROCKY on Trumpet... I vividly Remember those humid afternoons being in that small house many times during that Summer while I was Preparing for the Upcoming Football Season in High School. I would eagerly ask Tony about the movie ROCKY... Tony would reply... " Well Kerr. Rocky was a nobody... Everyone thought he was a Dreamer and a Loser... Yet Rocky went on to Prove Everybody Wrong In The End!".... Joe would then respond in that Humble voice of his then. "See That Kerr"!.... I would curiously ask. "Why did People treat Rocky like that for anyway?"... Joe would Boldly go on to respond and say "Because they thought he was a Nothing And A Nobody! And he Showed And Proved To Everyone that he was a Somebody and a Winner Kerr"!.. Slyvester Stallone also gave Great and Memorable Performances in other Movies like The Lords Of Flatbush, Paradise Alley and First Blood to name a few..... Sly has always had Awesome Determination. And I had the Pleasure of meeting and shaking hands with him once at The Hard Rock Cafe here in Florida... I Truly hope to meet him again one day..... As for Music I Wish to Meet Paul McCartney and Mick Jagger who both are Truly Great and Phenominal Musicians! They brought Great Entertainment with their Uniquely Talented Musical Abilities.... The Rolling Stones are a Great Stage Performing Band and have always been for that matter! And they also bring back alot of Great Memories from a time when life was far less complicated and stressful..... Great Movie Producer and Director Martin Scorsesse did a Wonderful and Beautiful Job with his new Film that just came out about The Rolling Stones called "Shine A Light"..... I once saw The Rolling Stones in Concert in Orlando during their Bridges To Babylon Tour back in December of 1997... Fortunately I had a great seat near the front of a smaller Stage which they performed on during the second part of the concert....It was a Chilly and Brisk Evening I Remember. At the beginning of the second half of the Show, the lights in the Stadium grew dim while a strange buzzing sound began to grow increasingly louder. Along with that this very Cool And Huge Mechanical Bridge began to slowly unfold above. It had all of these very Cool looking dazzling array of lights upon it. When the Bridge finally connected to the smaller Stage which The Rolling Stones had made their way across to during the darkness. The lights in the Stadium then came up as The Stones were Performing some Great Rock N Roll!... I was well prepared having made this Huge Poster before hand which depicted in Bold Words ANGIE, SATISFACTION, 1965!...I Remember seeing Mick Jagger looking right over towards the Poster and was Quite Impressed also! I watched as he was encouraging and pointing for everyone to look over at my Poster while he was running all about the Stage Performing..... I Always Vividly Remember hearing those two songs ANGIE And SATISFACTION in order. One imediately following the other while I was listening to a Rolling Stones Rock Block on the radio one Evening while growing up in New York... I recall the DJ Announcing and saying. "Up Next We Have A Rock Block Of The Rolling Stones"... I could feel the Excitement Building because I Have Always Loved The Rolling Stones!.... I only suppose that Memory also Inspired me to Create the Poster... The Beatles, Paul McCartney and Wings, Mick Jagger and The Rolling Stones are Great And Extraordinary Musicians who brought Great Entertainment with their Very Special and Gifted Musical Abilities..... So many Great Tunes from The Beatles like In My Life, Eleanor Rigby, Hey Jude, Let It Be, Get Back, Got To Get You Into My Life, and Good Day Sunshine to name a few of the Great ones! Satisfaction, Jumping Jack Flash and Angie are Just a few of the many Great Songs from The Rolling Stones!... And finally Paul McCartney And Wings with Great Songs such as My Love, Live And Let Die, Juniors Farm, Jet and Just Another Day. To name just a few of the Great ones! So Many Great Memories To Love!...... I Remember One Afternoon during the Spring of 1986 when I was in my early Twenties while residing in my Home Town I grew up in on Long Island New York, before moving to Florida that July. I was on my way home from the Gym following Working Out. I always used to take a shortcut through this Park which had a Baseball Field there also. There was a Game taking place, so I decided to relax and watch for awhile... I was standing there talking to a Gentleman who was watching his kid playing Baseball. We were discussing stories from related News and Reading about the harsh treatment and poor regards being shown towards Vietnam War Veterans upon returning home to the States... This Gentleman told me he Served for a Tour in Vietnam from 1969-1970... He recollected his own personal memeories of how difficult it was for him readjusting to ordinary civilian life when he returned to the States as well. He talked about many friends he unfortunately lost in the war. Tears began to fill his eyes while his voice grew Emotional. I continued to listen to him Compassionately and quietly. He explained about all the protests occurring back then at the Airports. All these young College kids and Hippies yelling heartless and insensitive insults towards him and his fellow Soldiers who were escorted by Military Police. This was a very common occurence that went on back then, he went on to explain. Mentioning to me that even young and very attractive, feminine women were quite literally spitting (Gross) and protesting along with the unruly crowd.... I was quite disgusted by what I was hearing and surprised about just how cruel and selfish people can be! Considering I wasn't well informed back then when all this was taking place since I was just a very young kid... I only saw and heard of all the Peace and Love Generation Agendas in relation to the laid back Hippie Culture during that particular time... I felt really bad for this Gentleman and I proceeded to Hug him Reassuringly.... Afterwards we discussed and talked about current events in and around the world then..... Later on over Dinner that Evening I explained to my Father who himself was a former Marine on the Island of Saipan towards the end of World War II. I told him about the Conversation I had earlier that Afternoon with this Gentleman who served over in Vietnam.... "Were People really that Harsh , Thoughtless and Uncaring towards many Vietnam War Veterans, Dad?" I went on to ask my Father curiously... My Father's Response to my Question was Immediate and to the Point with Firmness in his voice also! "Oh yes, Absolutely Kerry!... Let me tell you something! I was the first and only Elementary School Principal at the time in my District to give Vietnam Veterans A Teaching Job!... Alot of Civilians across the Country were very cruel to many Vietnam Veterans! They displayed very Poor and Unfair Treatment towards them as well!.... Many Vietnam Veterans Were Treated Very Cruelly In The Way's They Were Protested And Disregarded By Their Fellow Americans.....Absolutely Wrong They Were In Treating those poor Vietnam Veterans That Way!"..... And sadly enough many of them weren't giving Jobs or Opportunities either!.. Most Importantly, Vietnam Veterans didn't receive the Honorable Love and Common Respect and Regards which they Truly Deserved, Kerry!".......My Father Compassionately and Quietly went on to say..... "It Hurt's When Your Not Wanted And Your Disregarded Kerry"..... God Bless Our New President Barack Obama! I Campaigned Hard For His Victory! And I Am Grateful To Be A Part Of Great Change For This Nation. There Is Great Hope Because We Have A Great President Who Fights With Great Compassion And Understanding For Many In This Nation And Around The World Who Are Struggling And Less Fortunate! That This Nation Will Finally Come Together To Bring And Be A Part Of That Change! Remembering that conversation I had with the Gentleman who Served in Vietnam and my Father as well. One thing comes to mind. I Love, Honor and Greatly Respect all The Vietnam War Veterans! I have known many personally who were Born and Raised in my Home Town as well as Working with many also... I had a very Good friend of mine who infact served in Vietnam also and worked as a Bartender at a small place in Town. I Remember that him and his friends were always aware of the fact that I was Scrutinized Unfairly alot by many and that he would say to me "They Don't Understand You!"... I Remember walking home with him from a local Bar late one summer Evening in 1985 due to him having a few too many beers and that he also rented a home with other friends just a few blocks from where I lived. And it began to rain. As we continued walking he Spoke something to me I will never forget! I recall his voice becoming very Emotional when he said. "I don't know why People can be so Thoughtless and make fun of you!...Remember this though Kerry. I Love You And Understand You!.... We All Love You! Ya Hear Me?..... You were Destined to be Somebody who will reach out to Millions!...Millions!.... You Hearing Me? Because Your What Legends Are Made Of You Understand What I'm Saying?... Even though there are unfortunately many who are Ignorant and Selfish towards you!.... Because They Don't Understand You!...You Understand What I'm Saying To You?"..... "Yes I do Brother" was my response. He patted me Encouragingly upon the shoulder and his voice became more Emotional as we continued through the rain.... This Gentleman was Genuinely Compassionate And Respectful of my Feelings! And he and his other close friends alway's stood up for me and were Opposed to those who treated me Wrongly and Unfairly with their arrogance and insensitivity..... I Greatly Love,Respect, Honor And Support All Vietnam Veterans as should Everyone!.... They are Very Honorable,Genuine and Compassionate People who Served America Bravely! God Bless All The Vietnam Veterans!There is Great Power and Emotion in bringing Happiness to the Brokenhearted and the Poor... I should love to buy Groceries for Poor Families in need. Because seeing the smiles on other Peoples faces is a Much Greater Emotional Feeling then all the Materialistic gifts you can think of. Giving Honor And Glory to God by helping those in need is enabling you to build Treasures for yourself in Heaven... I avoid People who call me a Dreamer. Because God will Prosper and Bless me knowing that I will Bless others less fortunate.. I am not one to overlook the burdens of the poor... You always hear in the News of Many Hard Working Middle Class People who are fighting and suffering to stay ahead of the game...I know what Financial Suffering is First Hand!.. One of the cruelest things in life is to be lonely and poor and overlooked and disregarded when you have Great and Meaningful Talent to offer especially... It is an Uphill Battle in the Great and Never Ending Struggle for Financial Freedom since life is very hard for many people these days! God Bless them because God is comforting them and their Weary Burdens... Take a deep breath and focus at one thing at a time with Love. Compassion. And Respect for everyone always... My Advice to Acheiving Goals and Dreams is to Imagine you have already made it with Good Confidence. Because People like to hear about Ambition, Desire and Positive Thinking. People really don't like to hear negative thinking. Believe in Yourself and your Dreams. And others will Believe in you and your Dreams also. Respect Yourself and have Confidence in Yourself. And others will Respect You and have Great Confidence in You also! The Beautiful And Profound Song performed by Don Mclean entitled Starry Night, is also probably one of the most Beautiful And Compassionate Songs there is! The song itself clearly details the Extraordinary yet Painful Life of the Famous Artist Vincent Van Gogh. The Passionate Lyrical content "Ragged Men In Ragged Clothes, And How You Tried To Set Them Free", refer's to VanGogh's Great Spirtual Love And Compassion for the socially outcast in his Humanatarian Activities. It is also reflected in the more then 2000 works of many of his Extraordinary And Profound Paintings. It has been said that that VanGogh's family and some associates may have been critical of his Coolness And Kindness towards the Wretched And Poor who were Unfortunate. Be That As It May, VanGogh was and is an Artistic Genuis! His Painting Starry Night is probably his most Popular And Profound, which would later be told in Mclean's legendary song which was written in 1972. Once again and further more when Mclean Genuinely And Passionately sings "I Could Of Told You Vincent, That This World Was Never Meant For Anyone As Beautiful As You"... With all said, I would guess it wouldn't be any surprise that this Great And Passionate Tune will bring Tears to anyone's eyes for that matter alone. And Why Not? God has His Will for many to be Different in the sense of being Gifted yet Unusual for others in such a way as a means of Inspiring people for the benefits of making the world a better place through Entertainment and Wisdom which is the Beauty of all the Creative Desire of being Blessed in a Phlisophical manner along with many other Blessings . To let others realize they are Blessed also..... To fill the Hearts and Minds of Audiences with Splendid Joy, Emotion and Inspiration which is moved with Great Compassion, Drama and Humor..... To give people that Unique and Powerful Vision that they are surely Loved and Worthy from the Poorest to the Richest..... Life is not merely about how old or young a person is. Yet rather it is about Character and Emotion in how that person can reach out to those who are hurting like most everybody from time to time, to Instill Enrichment and Purpose....To erase from their minds the Cruel and Harsh, Insensitive words from others which cause hardship from those who are selfish and choose to have a wicked and arrogant heart instead.... Despite unfortunate hatred. Love always remind's those who are Lonely that they are not Alone.....Love reminds those who feel hopeless that their is Great Hope indeed! God in His Great and Merciful Love shall never abandon them.... Love is the Greatest and most Powerful Emotion there is. Love is not Haughty and Prideful.. It shows no Favortism. Yet entirely within itself it favors everyone. And doesen't exclude anyone..... Compassion is its soul mate for Eternity..... They both are Common Characteristic's which are Abundant for the Heart and Washes the Windows of the Soul with its Tears. Written By Kerry The Extraordinary Vietnam Movie Hamburger Hill is a very Moving and Remarkable one! It describes the story of the 10 Day Battle for Hill 937, during May of 1969. The Brave and Extraordinary American Infantrymen of Bravo Company are Fiercely engaged in a Vicious Battle of Great Valor, Bloodshed and Sacrifice in the Struggle for this Hill named Hamburger Hill due to the Horrific Bloodshed and Costliness of the Battle itself which claimed 70% Casualties!...The Fierce and Awesome Uphill Battle of Brave and Weary Soldiers who fought for their Country, Eachother and their own lives also. This Great Film is Unrelenting in Sheer War Action and Great Emotion as well. Seeing and Realizing the Great Suffering and Desperation of these Brave Infantrymen who Served America Bravely and Willingly!... Aside from this Great Film and with all due Respect I have Gathered my own Prespective and Feelings of which I will explain here..... All too often I Believe many Vietnam Veterans have been Unfairly Treated and shown Great Disregard by their own Country. I personally have seen and spoken with many of them who all feel the same way as I just mentioned.... Giving the Obvious Fact that I have alway's been a Devoted Advocate for War Veterans, The Poor,The Homeless and Downtrodden along with also being for those who are Unfairly Disregarded....It is also my Belief that I Believe Government Does and Should have the Moral Obligation and Responsibility to help those in Need who are having a difficult time... I think Everyone should realize that there are those in this Soceity who are either Born with Great Advantages and throughout their life have been giving Chances and Opportunities or through their own Hard Work and Efforts have been Fortunate enough to have Comfortable Success... On the other hand for one reason or another there are those who for many reasons such as lack of Chance and Opportunities or Poverty have not been throughly able to Readily Obtain Success for them selves..... Be That As It May, I Believe that Anyone who has Sheer Incentive and Dedication to Succeed along with their Gifts and Talents through Hard Work and Devotion.... Should Infact be giving the Chances and Opportunities to Succeed and not be Selfishly Ignored and Disregarded by others who are able to help them Realize and Fullfill their Personal Dreams and Ambitions for the Good of All and Themselves! This Scene at Gettysburg from the Movie Remember The Titans is probably one of the Greatest and most Moving Scenes in any true life Motion Picture Film. The Music is Beautiful! Denzel Washington gave a very Extraordinary performance in this particular scene along with the entire Movie itself. He also received an Academy Award for this Movie. Probably one of the Greatest True Life Films ever made! The True Life made for Television Movie Ruffian, was both very Entertaining and Emotional to watch. Ruffian is widely considered to be the Greatest Throughbred Filly who ever lived!.... She will never be forgotten. Please read my own Personal accounts of Ruffian in the Comments area, when I was a kid in New York at the time this occurred.
