Susannah and Samuel sing

Rating: 10/10 (20 November 2005)

I would really like to get to the point here. I could write quite a bit about this movie, of which I have rated a 10 out of ten. The cast is excellent, the landscape is that of my ancestors the Blackfoot and the drama that has its roots in the antiquity of every race on the planet should hit home with anyone who views it. The series of events set in motion with the family is awesome in its scope, perhaps even on the level of Karma: the idea that what one has done in a past life must be dealt with in the present. But who's past? I never cease being amazed by the circle of life and experience happening over and over again. Tristens relation with the animals and the animals and the narration is excellent. OK.................... on to whats really on my mind: Does anyone out there know the name of the song Samuel and Susannah sang in the parlor? Who wrote it? Was it a popular song of the day? A song the films writer wrote? (I understand he is a trained musician). I am so taken with the song that I have begun a composition of my own based on the lyric and basic melody, however I need to know who wrote it so I may give proper acknowledgment to the publisher. Thank you all, Robert
