There is a legend about a bird which sings just once in its life, more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth. From the moment it leaves the nest it searches for a thorn tree, and does not rest until it has found one. Then, singing among the savage branches, it impales itself upon the longest,sharpest spine. And, dying it rises above its own agony to out carol the lark and the nightingale. One superlative song, existence the price. But the whole world stills to listen, and god in his heaven smiles. For the best is only bought at the cost ofgreat pain....Or so says the legend. ——the Legend about the Thorn Birds
The book's title refers to a mythical bird that searches for thorn trees from the day it is hatched. When it finds the perfect thorn, it impales itself, and sings the most beautiful song ever heard as it dies.

小时候看电视剧怎么也不明白这个传说对于故事本身有何意义,为什么神父要对为失去哥哥而伤心的梅吉说这个故事。
当年老快死去的神父对已迟暮的爱人说:你一生都在跟上帝作对,但你比我更靠近他的旨意,因为到最后,你都一直在爱,即使你失去一切,你都没有失去过爱……
真正把Ralph从梅吉身边带走的不是上帝,而是他的野心。
数十年后的今天重温《》,仍能清晰的记得镜头里成群的牛羊与灌木……
还有魔鬼桉与蓝桉——当难产中的梅吉再次见到Ralph:“过去,我怎么会把他和卢克混在一起了呢?世上没有一个人象他”
世界上没有任何人能让她像爱他那样去爱
很伤感的故事,中文版、英文版一路读下来,最喜欢的还是那部电视剧,因为Richard Chamberlain
从这个时候起,拉尔夫明白梅吉已经不是一个小姑娘了
回眸一笑百媚生,我觉得扮梅吉的演员看着很特别,印象深刻
那个喜欢穿白礼服的姑妈把遗产捐给了罗马教会,拉尔夫要离开梅吉了——为了自己的野心

梅吉与鲁克的女儿,我觉得挺好看的,比扮戴恩的那个演员好看多拉
人到中年的梅吉,比年轻时好看很多呢
知道儿子要做神父,深深地失望
[此贴子已经被作者于2009-2-13 19:11:30编辑过]
梅吉说:我把从上帝那偷来的,还了回去
她指的是戴恩做神父,可是,这没完
戴恩死后,梅吉将真相告诉了拉尔夫
悲痛的拉尔夫不久也去世了

呵呵,同HC男主角
我也是电视,书都看过
张伯伦很符合书里的描述,除了老了一点,但是非常之有魅力
麦吉不够灵气和漂亮
然后看了电视
别的记不清楚了,就记得男主角张伯伦了。我喜欢这种消瘦的身材,比如格里高里派克,还有伊斯特伍德。

很8错的电视和小说

Oh, I love this drama, so touching,虽然还是不明白荆棘鸟的含义。

8挂一下,演maggie和luke的演员,现实生活中是夫妻。若干年后,当我知道了us.imdb后,才发现里面其实有很多名角,barbara stanwick演maggie的姑妈,jean simons演的妈妈,christopher plummer(sound of music)演的主教
jean simons 演过老半<<哈木雷特>>里的奥飞里呀, 年轻时美得不可方木, 可惜老得太快. christopher plummer(Van Trap 上校)还是一如既往的有风度
看了后非常话痴张伯伦, 特别是他跳black bottom dance 的时候, 太帅了.
我也应该把电视剧找来看看
很喜欢那本书,看电视也是10几年前了,就觉得maggie不够美。
我也是先看书再看电视的
当时也觉得女主角不够漂亮 男主角有些老
这个一定要顶一下
这部电影超长好像,有一次在电视里播,看了我快一天,得有7,8个小时。
还有google了一下,发现这个Maggie竟然是Liar Liar里面的那个Miranda,简直认不出来了
