Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Milarepa DVD
I was slightly off as it was Indian Beach in Ecola State Park which is a little north of Haystack Rock at Cannon Beach. According to this information they wanted to film at La Push but the other locations were around Oregon so they went to Cannon Beach instead: *http://tinyurl.com/6b2chb *Marek Reavis wrote: > That could easily be Cannon Beach and not La Push in Twilight.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Milarepa DVD
I was in Cannon Beach in 2006 and that scene looked like the unpopulated area south of the town which would have been too loaded with tourists to shoot there. I don't know what La Push looks like as the most I've seen of the Washington Pacific coast was Neah Bay and Ocean Shores. But in 2006 a friend and I drove from here all the way up the coast from Marin to Cannon Beach where he and his wife frequently vacation. Most of the coast all looks similar so it *is* hard to tell. ;-) Marek Reavis wrote: > That could easily be Cannon Beach and not La Push in Twilight.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Milarepa DVD
That could easily be Cannon Beach and not La Push in Twilight. I've got no recollection of what Cannon Beach looks like. The fact that the spot was presented as La Push and my imperfect memories of it from the mid-80s could easily be an explanation. But it sure looked good in the part. ** --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Bhairitu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > The director is a Tibetan monk. He apparently did one feature film > before.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Milarepa DVD
The director is a Tibetan monk. He apparently did one feature film before. The interview with him was very interesting. The cinematographer was from Australia. Most of the cast and crew were amateurs and many were monks from his monastery. I'm waiting for part 2. According to IMDB that was Cannon Beach not La Push. And it looked like Cannon Beach the part south of Haystack Rock. But IMDB can be wrong. Marek Reavis wrote: > Just saw the DVD weekend last and I agree with you.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Milarepa DVD
Just saw the DVD weekend last and I agree with you. It's excellent. Milarepa's story is really compelling; I first read his bio on some course in the 70s and it totally took me in. The director and cinematographer are fine; the actors are excellent (Milaprepa's mother is so intense); I'm looking forward to the next chapter. Saw Twilight in SF with my daughter and her boyfriend the night before thanksgiving. You were right, it's a teen girl's movie, entirely; but it was excellent to see the Olympic Peninsula on the big screen. And particularly so, La Push. I'd heard that folks surfed there but my memories of it are as a purely beautiful but forbidding wild ocean beach. If I ever make it up there again I'll bring my board. ** --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Bhairitu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I rented this on DVD and watched it last night.

And you gotta love the writer/director's last name, "Chokling." Hopefully not a harbinger of what is to come. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Bhairitu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I rented this on DVD and watched it last night.
