Dave and I thoroughly enjoyed the movie Legend of Gobi on Prime... a fantastic adventure of Mongolian Khan's tyrannical control of others, going as far as banning music. The people fought back and this is the story of music changing the course of war and conflict. The closing statement to the movie flowed like poetry and has a powerful statement about music... so I would like to share this excerpt from the movie with you below. I encourage our readers to check out The Legend of Gobi movie when you can.
"The sound of music has echoed through the kingdom;
The people of Mongolia treasured their horse head fiddles
From generation to generation.
The wind blows freely and mountains rumble in a low hum.
Rivers run around and about
And the tree leaves shutter in harmony.
And also the stars shimmer in a cold dark night.
In a hot day, the golden sun rays touch the ground
With a sound of a jingle.
To feel all of these with your heart
People must stay alive.
Compassion is said to have originated
From the sound of music."
~ Excerpted from the closing statement to The Legend of Gobi,
available on Prime
