The Village: Tuomas Holopainen

This is a brief excerpt from the 2006 Finnish documentary Maan mainiot on Tuomas Holopainen, the songwriter and keyboardist of the metal band Nightwish. Tuomas is playing the soundtrack of The Village on his keyboard and explains why it's his favorite movie.

Translation below is courtesy of Tika and Morrigan. I've added and revised the subtitles myself and uploaded it for my English utopia/dystopia project on the 2004 movie, The Village. :)

I think that is perhaps the most beautiful soundtrack ever made.
And the most beautiful movie.
The Village.
In the beginning of the year, when I was going through difficult times, it was hard to keep on track with what was happening when there were all kinds of trouble and drama.
More than in the last ten years altogether.
That movie helped me through that.
I remember that I watched it at least ten times a week.
Some days two or three times.
That movie is a great example of escapism.
I would be ready to move into that village any time.

(Also, please note I had a similar video up earlier but deleted it because I've finally been able to make the subtitles larger and closer to the bottom of the screen. I'm sorry if the subs don't match up with what Tuomas is saying - my Finnish is terrible!)
