It's about cats again.That's right,cats.I think that most of you don't see what i see in those cute little felines but who cares.It's my blog.
Well,let's start by telling you the story.The cats in the story are actually potrayed by various amazing dancers as well as singers (ie Elaine Paige and Sir John Mills).The cats are all part of a tribe called the Jelllicle tribe,so all of them are Jellicle cats.They all have a special personality,and some even have powers that can be used for good or evil.(MaCavity and Mr Mistoffelees)So,the story unfolds.The cats emerge,singing their songs.There were cute cats(Victoria,Jemima),rough cats(Rum Tum Tugger,Munkustrap),and even evil cats(MaCavity,Mungojerrie,Griddlebone)!Well,all of the cats were cute,and the songs were beautiful.As was the dancing.The cats reunite once a year on a night with a full moon,and one,only one,will be reborn into a new Jellicle life...The cats all vie for that one place in the Great Beyond,yet Old Deteuronomy,the head cat,decides the one that gets to go.And so the cats show off their abilities,until a very old,un-glamourous grey cat emerges from the shadows...
Shunned by the rest of the Jellicle cats,Grizabella once was a glamour cat.She had left the tribe years ago to explore the human world.Now,she was but a grizzled cat,one that could only dream of journeying to the great beyond...
Oddly enough,after all the cats had displayed their talents,she was the only one left.She struck up a slow,mournful tune and bega to sing those famous words...
"Midnight,not a sound from the pavement.
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone.
In the lamplight,the withered leaves collect at my feet,
And the wind,begins to moan.
Memory,
All alone in the moonlight,
I can smile at the old days,
I was beautiful then..
I remember,the time i knew what happiness was...
Let the memory,
Live again..."
And the emotion in her crystalline voice touched the cats.One by one,they accepted her,and the lead cat chooses her to be reborn.The touching story captivated me,and there were tears in my eyes as i reluctantly turned the television and took the VCD back to the shop to return it...
I know that you have probably thought that i am weird,and this saddens me.This blog is the only avenue through which i can let my true feelings flow.I hope you understand...
Cheers,
