He would make (have made) a great, or should I say powerful, narrator as well :-D B-)

@questionmark05 Ай бұрын

@pajfarfar He did sing and narrated heavy metal music for rhapsody of fire and his own album Charlemagne: by the sword and cross and its sequals. Among many others. He also didnt need much help (aside from one move a human couldn't do anyway) with light sabre fighting in star wars as he could actually saber fight. He was in his 80s.

Not too long before he died, he and his daughter got in as passengers in my dad's cab. His daughter had to do all the talking as he was so sick he couldn't speak. Such a shame that my dad had him in his cab but couldn't hear that wonderful voice.

I am almost Phd level in Congolese history, have visited the country...but every time I watch am still intrigued, disturbed and wonder if there's not more than a spiritual jinx to the Congolese debacle, isn't this why half a century later everyone, because of the complexity goes back to Conrad's really 'simplistic' assessment; that whatever happens/whatever spirit runs the Congo, is the heart of darkness? I am almost accepting that the spell binding the Congo in strife is undoable!

This feels like a highly appropriate documentary to come out at the time of our recent and blatantly rigged elections in the RSA... "Giving cattle herds to people who couldn't tell a bull from a cow" is also such an on point remark for much of the continent. It seems as though most African countries share the story of the Congo to a greater or lesser extent: Raped, bled and brutalized from both the outside and the inside with equal rapaciousness. As for Mobutu himself, I suspect he cared for his country with all the depth of love that a narcissistic serial rapist feels for their victims.
