The Sheltering Sky Trailer

A line from this classic film:

"Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well, yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that's so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more, perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless. "

Gah, this trailer makes it seem like the whole story was just about sex. Forget the movie read the book.

Why must these trailers be spoiled with that rough voice over thats the same for every movie.

What a total misrepresentation of such a complex piece. It has far more to do with a schizoid existentialism than a source of softcore porn.

Is it a good book? I've read a book of Paul Bowles' wife, Jane, and loved it! I think she models for his wife in the sheltering sky

@niewadzibridge Thanks, I would greatly appreciate that. I want to understand, I really liked the movie and the book. And was very jealous of Kit, I really liked Port as a person. I seem to never miss home and continue to wander and wander on without realizing other people's nostalgia for a past and present so central to themselves. Looking foward to your blog, thanks!

@yemonja100 In my opinion, Kit tries to be a traveler, like Port, instead of being half-tourist, half-traveler... I intend to post something about the movie on my blog in a cpl of days, I could give you a link then :).
