Chonaic muid Iartharach.

Chonaic muid scannán iartharach areir. Chuaigh ár teaglach ar na picturlann go Gleanntán. Bhí mian Léna ag dúl amuigh. Bhí mian Niall ag imeacht fós. Bhí mian Leon ag feiceáil nua scannán. Bhí mian agam ag ithe ina bialann leannán idir sin agus tráthas.

Is "Appaloosa" scannán ina bhfuil príomhpháirteannaí ag Ed Harris agus Viggo Mortensen. Is beirt marascail siad. Tagann siad go na sráidbhaile ina Nua-Meicsiceo. Is ainm "Appaloosa" é. Iarraidh duine cabhair ansin.

Cád a tharla? Is Bragg é an bithiúnach ann. Is Jeremy Irons a bhí ina Bragg. Ghlac sé páirt Bhragg go bhfuil go spórtúil ar bith. Ach, fear é a mb'fhearr do dhuine dul lena thaobh. Ní haon dóithín é.

Bhí Bragg dúnmharú a dhéanamh. Ar dtósach, mharaíonn sé mianadóir agus eígnígh sé bean na mhianadóir. Fuair sí bás fós. Ina dhiadh sin, chaith Bragg tobann trí shirriam nuair go baint dóibh a cruinniú Bragg sa phríosún.

Ar ndóigh, tá scéal go leor anseo. Casann Cole (atá páirt leis Harris) le Bean Uí Fhrancais (atá páirt le Renée Zellweger) go luath. Titeann sé i ngrá leí. Tá Cole go bhfuil i ndiaidh sí. Mar sin féin, b'fhéidir go mbeadh ag imirt ar son an cluiche leis an marascail mean-aosta.

Níor inseoidh mé agaibh gach rud. Is maith linn seo. Aontaíomar go raibh "Appaloosa" an baíre leis. D'eirigh leis. Chuir mé míne leis maolaisnéis ann. Thuig mé an baint le duine éagsúlaí ní call a ra go líonadh an scannán leis agallamh iomarcach. Tá sé an cumhacht leis scannán.


We saw a Western.


We saw a Western film last night. Our family went to the movie house in Glendale. Layne needed to get out. Niall needed to get away too. Leo needed to see a new film. I needed to eat at my favorite restaurant later on.

"Appaloosa" is a film that features Ed Harris and Viggo Mortensen. They are a pair of marshals. They come to a village in New Mexico. It's name is "Appaloosa." The people there need help.

What's happened? Bragg is the villain. Jeremy Irons plays Bragg. The part calls for Bragg to be a bit playful. But, he is not a man to be played with. He's not anyone to be messed with.

Bragg committed murder. To start with, he killed a miner and he raped the miner's wife. She died as well. Afterwards, Bragg suddenly shot three sheriffs when they went out to apprehend Bragg for prison.

Of course, there's more story here. Cole (who's Harris' role) meets with Mrs. French (who's Renée Zellweger's part) soon. He falls in love with her. Cole's after her. All the same, perhaps it may be that the middle-aged marshal's being played with.

I won't tell all of you everything. We liked this. We agreed that "Appaloosa" was a success. It turned out well. I found a subtlety with the understatement there. I understood the relationship of various people without filling the film with sounds out loud of needless dialogue. This is cinema's power.
