  And it had that song that blows me away every time I hear it. Kiri Te Kanawa did it for the movie. Beim Schlafgehen from Richard Strauss's Four Last Songs.
  
  BEIM SCHLAFGEHEN
  
  Nun der Tag mich mud gemacht
  Soll mein sehnliches Verlangen
  Freundlich die gestirnte Nacht
  Wie ein mudes Kind empgangen.
  
  Handel asst von allem Tun,
  Stirn vergiss du alles Denken,
  Alle meine Sinne nun
  Wollen sich in Schlummer senken.
  
  Und die Seele unbewacht
  Will is freien Flugen schweben,
  Um im Zauberkreis der Nacht
  Tief und tausendfach zu leben.
  
  GOING TO SLEEP
  
  Now the day has wearied me.
  And my ardent longing shall
  The stormy night in friendship
  Enfold like a tired child.
  
  Hands, leave all work;
  Brow, forget all thought.
  Now all my senses
  Long to sink themselves in slumber.
  
  And the soul, unguarded,
  Longs to soar on free wings,
  So that, in the magic circle of night,
  It may live deeply, and a thousandfold.
  
  The link below is a bit of Dialog from the movie transcribed in text.

    After first seeing "T.Y.O.L.Dangerously" I couldn't believe the credits that Billy Kwan was played by Linda Hunt.
    
    Her performance is an all time favorite of mine -- relevant, touching, heroic, delusional, trancendent -- unbelievable range and commitment.
