I've cut and uploaded on youtube this scene from Nostalghia by Andrei Tarkovski. I did it about an year ago. I just remembered about it. I think of Noatalghia as a "must see"... Actually that's what I think about all of Tarkovski's movies.
Look for the rest of the movie!

couch potato
I think that I'm becoming a couch potato. I waste all my free time in front of the laptop now that I got back to Odense. It's the best way to keep in touch with my friends... using yahoo messenger... maybe I'll just use Skype from now on. When I was in Romania I was blaming others for being couch potatoes. By that time you could hardly find me at home... but now I know how it's like.
I think that you have noticed those links on the right of this page... now you see two more. Someone said that if you get into my mind you cand hardly find a way out of it... so I thought it would be funny to make two links for geting out of it. The first one is EXIT and the second one is EMERGENCY EXIT. You may try them if you want to. You can find them on all my pages except for the page where I draw my life maps and the plans for the demolition of my unwanted feelings... strange... I nevere needed to write a plan for building any feelings inside of me, evendough sometimes I build them, but sometimes they just come to me. Maybe others build the most of our feelings and we build the most of others feelings.
My player just started to play the song 1979 by Smashing Pumpkins. It sounds beautiful. Here's the song .
The last stupid thing I said is: "My mind's got a mind of it's own". Since then, nothing was so impressive.
I told you in my last blog that I would write about some movies... Well, I'm not realy in the mood for that but since you might be wondering here it goes:
One of the best movies I've seen so far is Behind The Sun (released in 2001) directed by Walter Salles. The movie is based on Ismail Kadare's novel "Broken April" (I didn't read the book). It's a drama that focuses on the consequences of revenge versus the sacrifice for love. Two families are fighting for land under the rules of what is known to be a blood feud. The story is seen through the eyes of Pacu, the younger boy of one of the families.
I've cut the first scene and uploaded it on youtube for you to see it. Here it is (stop the radio in the top right side of the page before pressing play)
I hope that this is enough to make you want to watch it.
Another funny messenger discussion now:
me: I don't remember which messenger photo was the one that you said it was interesting,but look, I have only interesting pictures
her: :P
her: listen
me: yes
her: would you wash my car? I mean taking it to the car wash
me: hard question
me: does it have a double meaning?
her: yes
me: ok then
her: is there one that you prefer?
me: wait a second. What are we talking here?
her: when are you going to wash it?
me: yesterday
me: 8-}
me: If ther was only the first question then I would understad something like: "get lost and leave me alone!" ...but... ?!

me: I'm not mad at you
me: and this thing about sending him to take your car to the car wash is funny... it's like: "Hey boys, while you're resting, move those bricks away!" ***\\-..-//***
her: well, if I sent him to do the shoppings anyway..
her: :P
me: shoppings too?! wow, and does he rest only when he's sleeping?
her: he doesn't sleep much lately
her: I'm kidding
her: he's nice and we help each other
her: with many things

movies again
I'm back in Odense. A little emptiness is what I started to feel since I left Oradea. My friends are there! My childhood is there. Well, this will pass. If it won't then I'm going to have to make it pass...it wouldn't be the first time :D, but it makes me tired.
Now let's get to the point: I've seen Requiem For A Dream (Darren Aronofsky) yesterday. It deals with addictions. I know... some might say "already an old but great movie, everybody knows it",but I haven't seen it until yesterday evening. I had it before, but never gave it much attention(didn't press play) evendough the title sounds so interesting.
It's not a beautiful movie. Not at all... or not realy... , but it's strong and shocking with a good moral and I like that. It has no happy ending. It showed me a perspecive on mind depravation causes that I've never thought of before. By the way, one more thing that I like about this movie is the fact that it promotes the idea that whatever your goals are, it very much matters what you do in order to achieve them.
The music is great, and the effects also, but I think that you already know that.
Now Jennifer Connelly is on my wallpaper (so beautiful at 37! wonder...)I'm a little tired now. There are some other movies that I'd like to talk about now, but I'll live them for the next times... there is one that I will strongly recommend you to watch if you didn't. You'll see!

movie
I wrote this earlier:
Today is Christmass (25th of December)! It's about 1:04 AM here (Nuseni, a small vilage in Romania). I still have all my cloks (phone, iPod and laptop) set to the Copenhagen time. That was 12:05... and... somehow I find it funny. I've been in Romania for an entire week now. I'm listening to a nice movie soundtrack song. I don't know who's singing it. I just finished watching the movie.
The movie (it's very violent, I tell you now)... this is what I've been writing the introduction for. It just ain't any kind of movie. It was dirrected by Martin Scorsese. Why is it entitled "The Departed"? I couldn't build a straight answer to that question. Maybe I would look for one on Google when I get to Oradea or if I remember next time I access to the INTERNET. It's a movie that doesn't build much emotion. It just lets you sit in your spectator chair and see everything except for the characters thoughts. A part of those thoughts, but mostly the feelings are expressed in the shrink sequences. You can see the pressure in there minds in the way they interact, the way the characters play roles(not the actors... a thing that I find great... you don't very much get to see the actors, you see the characters( :D now Johnny Bravo would say: "Enough about you, let's talk about me")... at least that is what happened to me). I think that evendough it is a cop movie it's more of a tragedy. In the end everybody who had anything to do with the case dies. Those who remain are the ones ho had no implication. I think that the scenario was very well built... calculated. It's not like other so called "good movies" that skip some relevant information or mix it up just to puzzle you (it's a stupid confuzion that some dirrectors take advantage of in todays movies, what I'm saying is that it isn't the case here). You'll see situations, facts, behaviors, reactions, all put togeder in a realistic and defined shape. Oh yeah... "big words". Well, I may say those are big atributes but not cheap words. Realistic? If you watch the movie you'll see it for yourself... everything is a "cause and effect" chain. Deffined shape? Every situation and every character is displayed rough and raw, nothing is given more or less importance than your eyes require. Nothing dissipates. Everything becomes a solid mass in the end(I don't mean corpse :D). You see...it's like a chess game. The more you play it with somebody, the more you get to know your opponent and you would be a big fool if you don't realise that he also gets to know you. In another way: in the begining everything has an order for those who know nothing of what is going on on the table. After they get inside they have their own games against the others who were driven in the game and they start to learn the big game(the one in which they were all pushed), but unfortunately, when they get to know their pattern they die... because... you don't sacrifice a chess piece unless you make a good plan to back that sacrifice and you push new characters into the action... and a pawn can become a queen... now that I worte this I just remembered that the name of the captain who was leading the investigation was Queenan... so... I think that those/the one who wrote the scenario were/was thinking about chess (Could Mister Castello be a rock? now it becomes kind of obvious).The music... it comes in to bring life into some moments... some key moments or just put sugar in the chaos. Yes, chaos. Usualy problems are more difficult when you take action in order to solve them than before you do... I know that I told you something that you knew(this one goes to those who are smarter). Just forget it! Watch the movie!
When this will be posted it won't be Christmass anymore so: Happy new year!

It's been some time since I wrote about that movie... :D since then I've been to some places :D (Bistrita, then snowboarding in Borsa and now again Bistrita. Who knows what tomorrow will bring...)
