This brings back so many memories.I can remember seeing the film on a tv in the 50's.this song has stayed with me all my life.Robeson's voice is incredible,it has the ability to bring tears to the most hardened of hearts.

What the fuck is a Kinema?

How on earth can you be around about a billion trillion people that call a cinema a cinema yet you choose to play an up your arse brain dead individual who's stupid pompous self importance may create a change in the infrastructure of pronunciation.

.

It won't work you little gay tosser!

@BertHigginbottom Dear Sir, Many thanks for your polite comments - If you had any sense you would realise that as film technology particularly projection was invented in Germany - that word was used - I refer you to the film "Smallest Show on Earth" where it is used as well - the "Bijou Electric Kinema" features throughout the film.

Just as we use French terms such as Garage - in motoring (which was a french invention) -in English it would be Motor - House.

@EMGColonel

Yeh yeh if what you say is true but it isn't, there is not a lot of history if none at all relating to the Kinema originating in Germany, everything early starting at the Henley Regatta was British!

.

Regardless, I think you are one of these tosspots that like to think you are different and walk the daft walk and talk the daft talk, so just do it and when you go to your lonely bed at night ask yourself! .

What the fuck is this all about? what have I atchieved?

[EMGColonel]

@BertHigginbottom Well, you do make a good point there - I cannot believe that there are many people who DON'T think occasionally "What AM I DOING" or "I NEED a CHANGE" or indeed "What's the point of my life" You may Remember Paul Eddington - he starred in "Yes Minister" etc - he was asked when dying of Cancer - "What do you want as an epitaph"

He Replied "He did very little Harm"

Few of us can say that.

Thanks for your comment

The ancient rythms...I wonder if those ancient rythms will still pulsate throughout the Dark Continent when the civilisation of the white man,of which I am a part, has finally crumbled, as all civilisations eventually do? Of one thing I am certain, that the attempt to remake black people in the white man's image, central to both colonialism and modern liberalism, is doomed to failure.
