ONE OF THE BEST MOVIE FOR DACADES !

BRILLIANT !

( The Possibility of Island )

“La solitude à deux est l’enfer consenti.”

This is existentialism for our generation, and beyond!

Brilliant book about The Future of Human Race … It seem so differen, so distant … in my perspective – it’s going to be sad, lonely time, with no love, desire, hopes, fears, doubts. Just an ordinary, simple, comfortabale life with no feelings or any connections with other people.

Michel Houellebecq is such a writer and The Possibility of an Island is a book that will be read for generations to come.

“No subject is more touched on than love, in the human life stories as well as in the literary corpus they have left us; . . .no subject, either, is as discussed, as controversial, especially during the final period of human history, when the cyclothymic fluctuations concerning the belief in love became constant and dizzying. In conclusion, no subject seems to have preoccupied man as much; even money, even the satisfaction derived from combat and glory, loses by comparison, its dramatic power in human life stories. Love seems to have been, for humans of the final period, the acme and the impossible, the regret and the grace, the focal point upon which all suffering and joy could be concentrated. The life story of Daniel1, turbulent, painful, as often unreservedly sentimental as frankly cynical, and contradictory from all points of view, is in this regard characteristic.”

“Youth was the time for happiness, its only season; young people, leading a lazy, carefree life, partially occupied by scarcely absorbing studies, were able to devote themselves unlimitedly to the liberated exultation of their bodies. They could play, dance, love, and multiply their pleasures. They could leave a party, in the early hours of the morning, in the company of sexual partners they had chosen, and contemplate the dreary line of employees going to work. They were the salt of the earth, and everything was given to them, everything was permitted for them, everything was possible. Later on, having started a family, having entered the adult world, they would be introduced to worry, work, responsibility, and the difficulties of existence; they would have to pay taxes, submit themselves to administrative formalities while ceaselessly bearing witness–powerless and shame-filled–to the irreversible degradation of their own bodies, which would be slow at first, then increasingly rapid; above all, they would have to look after children, mortal enemies, in their own homes, they would have to pamper them, feed them, worry about their illnesses, provide the means for their education and their pleasure, and unlike in the world of animals, this would last not just for a season, they would remain slaves of their offspring always, the time of joy was well and truly over for them, they would have to continue to suffer until the end, in pain and with increasing health problems, until they were no longer good for anything and were definitively thrown into the rubbish heap, cumbersome and useless. In return, their children would not be at all grateful, on the contrary their efforts, however strenuous, would never be considered enough, they would, until the bitter end, be considered guilty because of the simple fact of being parents. From this sad life, marked by shame, all joy would be pitilessly banished. When they wanted to draw near to young people’s bodies, they would be chased away, rejected, ridiculed, insulted, and, more and more often nowadays, imprisoned. The physical bodies of young people, the only desirable possession the world has ever produced, were reserved for the exclusive use of the young, and the fate of the old was to work and to suffer. This was the true meaning of solidarity between generations; it was a pure and simple holocaust of each generation in favor of the one that replaced it, a cruel, prolonged holocaust that brought with it no consolation, no comfort, nor any material or emotional compensation.”
― Michel Houellebecq, The Possibility of an Island

What an Extraordinary MAN !

Tom Ford is my new inspiration … I mean, how talanted you should be just to create something so beautiful like ” A single man “. This is one of the most amazing movie in the cinematic history. The story is so simple, like … it’s not so easy to find a reason to stay alive, is it? I’ve never been very interested in fashion, so the name Tom Ford doesn’t mean anything to me till I found the movie, and then I read a couple of interviews with him and then a few days ago I was truly inspired by the latest documentary about him. So Tom Ford is an Artist, so creative, so visual, so interestig and abouve all so romantic and kind of modest, I think. HE is one of the greatest INFLUENCER of our Time …

Berthe Morisot was a woman of extraordinary talents who carved for herself a career within the art world of nineteenth century Paris. She was one of only a few women who exhibited with both the Paris Salon and the highly influential and innovative Impressionists. Her work endures today as a major representative of the Impressionist school.

“ My ambition is limited to capturing something transient! ” - Berthe Morisot

In the next I would try to commit more errors.
I would not try to be so perfect, I would relax more.
I would be more foolish than I’ve been,
In fact, I would take few things seriously.
I would be less hygienic.
I would run more risks,
take more vacations,
contemplate more sunsets,
climb more mountains, swim more rivers.
I would go to more places where I’ve never been,
I would eat more ice cream and fewer beans,
I would have more real problems and less imaginary ones.

I was one of those people that lived sensibly
and prolifically each minute of his life;
Of course I had moments of happiness.
If I could go back I would try
to have only good moments.

Because if you didn’t know, of that is life made:
only of moments; Don’t lose the now.

I was one of those that never
went anywhere without a thermometer,
a hot-water bottle,
an umbrella, and a parachute;
If I could live again, I would travel lighter.

If I could live again,
I would begin to walk barefoot from the beginning of spring
and I would continue barefoot until autumn ends.
I would take more cart rides,
contemplate more dawns,
and play with more children,
If I had another life ahead of me.

But already you see, I am 85,
and I know that I am dying.

     I’ve just finished ” East of Eden” by John Steinbeck for the second time in my life and for sure it won’t be for the last one! I just love that book, It makes me think, It makes me feel strange, disturbed me in some way. I can’t say what is the most valuable thing in this novel and why you should read it, but I know that it’s worth to be read, it makes so much sense, It puts so much questions about family relationships, about love and life and human nature. In one word this book is mind-blowing!!! The good thing is that the story has so much potential, that everytime you read it you see it different. 

“ The masterpiece of one of the greatest American writers of all time. East of Eden is an epic tale of good vs. evil with many biblical references and parallels. The story is ultimately that of good’s triumph over evil and the human will’s ability to make that happen. “  -  Goodreaders

“And this I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected. And this I must fight against: any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual. This is what I am and what I am about.” 
— John Steinbeck ” East of Eden “

” John and Mary ” is one of those simple, charming movies about two strangers, who are trying to know each other and who finally fall in love! It’s an Art movie, set in New York, in a cool apartment, very original, so much alike postmodern interior. The skript is intelligent, simple, honest. This movie is about communication and relationships and how hard is to find the balance between being yourself in front of someone you like, but don’t know and all the fears and undisclosed desires and questions you’ve got about him.  The way you’re trying to translate the subtext in every line, in every gesture!

Mia Farrow is so delicate, so lovely and beautiful in this movie, I adore her short red hair and little brown dress.  Dustin Hoffman is two years older than ” The  Graduate “, but still has that young innocent look. The Director is Peter Yates.

” John and Mary ” is a wonderful movie, must see I would say! Enjoy It !
