La Belle Dame Sans Regrets...

Regretele sunt intotdeauna tarzii...

"A man is not old until his regrets take the place of his dreams."

Before Sunrise & Before Sunset

Departe de a fi niste capodopere ale cinematografiei din toate timpurile, Before Sunrise si Before Sunset sunt doua filme care merita vazute, macar o data in viata!
Ethan Hawke si Julie Delpy... somehow it worked! Rezultatul: a life-tale !
Ethan Hawke nu mi-a spus niciodata mare lucru, iar Julie Delpy, ce sa zic... cei care ma cunosc stiu ca eu plus (aproape) tot ce tine de Franta - limba, francezii, finala CM de Fotbal din '98 - nu este egal "amoure".
Asta nu inseamna ca nu mi-ar placea sa stau intr-o zi la masa unei cafenele pariziene sau ca as refuza un parfum frantuzesc sau ca nu am citit cu placere "Moulin Rouge", roman inspirat din viata lui Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec sau ca atunci cand ascult "Le vent nous portera" a celor de la Noir Desir nu simt acel "je ne sais quoi"... Dar deviez de la subiect.

Revenind la cele doua filme, le recomand asadar cu caldura... soarelui, care rasare sau apune... de preferat impreuna cu cineva cu care sa poti vorbi si despre alte lucruri decat despre vreme, fotbal si politica.
Filmele nu ofera efecte speciale de Oscar sau scene de sex pasionale. Insa nici un deznodamant previzibil. Vorbesc despre legatura dintre doi oameni ale caror vieti se intalnesc undeva, candva. Key word: vorbesc. Filmele vorbesc, El si Ea vorbesc si vorbesc si vorbesc... Vorba multa, bogatia filmului :) Nici nu apuci sa "rumegi" bine o replica, ca a si venit alta, si odata cu ea un nou subiect de conversatie. Cu greu am reusit sa nu apas butonul de pauza la fiecare cinci minute ca sa "diger" mai bine anumite intrebari si raspunsuri. Dar nu as fi reusit decat sa rup firul povestirii. Very very catchy! Dialogurile sunt de exceptie, te pun pe ganduri, te fac sa zambesti, te fac sa vizionezi filmele cu ochii, cu urechile si cu mintea larg deschise. Cam asa cum ramane si finalul. Fiecare il interpreteaza cum vrea.
In loc de concluzie, nu toate drumurile duc la Roma, unele duc la Viena, altele la Paris... (deloc intamplator, pentru ca nimic nu este intamplator!)

Ca de obicei, defect de fabricatie, nu am putut sa nu retin cateva dintre replicile din cele doua filme. Iata-le pe cele care mi-au placut cel mai mult: (impreuna cu cate o exemplificare din coloana sonora, si ea deloc de neglijat)



Celine: I believe if there's any kind of God it wouldn't be in any of us, not you or me but just this little space in between. If there's any kind of magic in this world it must be in the attempt of understanding someone sharing something. I know, it's almost impossible to succeed but who cares really? The answer must be in the attempt.

Jesse: Listen, if somebody gave me the choice right now, of to never see you again or to marry you, alright, I would marry you, alright. And maybe that's a lot of romantic bullshit, but people have gotten married for a lot less.
Celine: Actually, I think I had decided I wanted to sleep with you when we got off the train. But now that we've talked so much, I don't know anymore.
Celine: Why do I make everything so complicated?

Jesse: I kind of see this all love as this, escape for two people who don't know how to be alone. People always talk about how love is this totally unselfish, giving thing, but if you think about it, there's nothing more selfish.




Journalist #1: Do you consider the book to be autobiographical?
Jesse: Uh, well, I mean... isn't everything autobiographical?

Celine: Memory is a wonderful thing, if you don't have to deal with the past.
Jesse: Can I put that on a bumper stick?

Celine: People have an affair or a relationship and they break up, they move on and they forget!

Jesse: Maybe what I'm saying is, is the world might be evolving the way a person evolves. Right? Like, I mean, me for example. Am I getting worse? Am I improving? I don't know. When I was younger, I was healthier, but I was, uh, whacked with insecurity, you know? Now I'm older and my problems are deeper, but I'm more equipped to handle them.

Jesse: Life's hard. It's supposed to be. If we didn't suffer, we'd never learn anything.

Celine: There are so many things I want to do, but I end up doing not much.

Celine: They enjoy the goal but not the process. But the reality of it is that the true work of improving things is in the little achievements of the day.

Celine: Everyone wants to believe in love, it sells.

Celine: Every day is our last.

Celine: Nobody is gonna be everything to you.

Celine: Sometimes, I put things in drawers inside my head, and forget about it. I guess it's less painful to put certain things away than to live with it!
I just meant certain things are better off forgotten.

Jesse: I remember that night better than I do entire years.

Celine: The past is the past. It was meant to be that way.
Jesse: What, you really believe that? That everything's fated?
Celine: Well, you know, the world might be less free than we think.
Jesse: Yeah?
Celine: Yeah, when given these exact circumstances, that's what will happen every time: two part hydrogen, one part oxygen, you get water every time.

Celine: I guess when you're young, you just believe there'll be many people with whom you'll connect with. Later in life, you realize it only happens a few times.

Celine: You can never replace anyone because everyone is made up of such beautiful specific details.

Dintre doua (filme) bune, le aleg pe amandoua! Before Sunrise before Before Sunset :)

Later edit: Cineva a surprins mai bine esenta filmelor aici.

Enjoy the Silence! (for now)

"Hello. Don't feel sad. Just hang on and Suffer well. Cause big girls don't cry! They just pray to their very own Personal Jesus so that the show gets rescheduled and not cancelled. You know what they say, even the stars look brighter tonight, Nothing's impossible!!! So let's Dream on, dream on...that Dave will Never let us down! And if he's gonna prove us Wrong, he & the band will always have our Freelove, right? We will always have Depeche!"

< Un sms trimis ieri. Pentru A. si S.
Chiar daca "words are meaningless and forgetable", m-am gandit sa postez si aici cele cateva randuri si pentru ceilalti cativa oameni cu care impartim amintirea unei zile lungi si frumoase de 23 iunie 2006! :) >

mai... mai... mai e putin pana la vara...

pana la toamna, pana la iarna...

Bad for Love

I may not be a bad girl
And you may not be the bad guy,
But with your bad timing and my bad luck
Nothing good could ever come out!

I am a bad choice for you,
You're a bad investment too,
Bad business, don't you think?
Clearly, you and me are a bad thing!

You have a very bad influence on me,
But I have my own bad reputation to keep, you see?
So let us be each other's bad memory,
The good characters in our bad love story!

I'm a bad dream you can't awake from,
You're a bad habit I can't seem to kick
But if it weren't for your bad jokes and my bad mood,
We wouldn't have to say goodbye for good!

We are going in a bad direction,
Correction, directions!
And if you think that's all the bad news,
Well, we've used up all the possible bad moves!

I wonder, with such a bad start,
What would have stopped us from falling apart?
With all these bad signs it's understood,
This idea couldn't have gone from bad to good!

Then again, maybe I'm having a bad day
Or maybe I'm just in a bad shape today;
Ask me again tomorrow and I'll say
All these bad feelings had gone away!...

TOOday, TOOmorrow, always...

too much, too soon
too little, too late

too much to ask
too soon to tell
too little to matter
too late to go back


too young, too proud, too busy
too old, too blind, too lazy

too young to forget
too proud to forgive
too busy to stop
too old to remember
too blind to see
too lazy to stand up


too small, too easy, too simple
too big, too hard, too complicated

too small to make a difference
too big to ignore
too easy to decide
too hard to explain
too simple to say
too complicated to understand


too good, too happy

too good to end
too happy to regret

A new season has begun!...

"After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart. And, if you're very lucky, a plane ride away..."

An offer I just couldn't refuse...

"Eu ma duc sa vad marea pe la 1:30-2. Vii? De data asta pe bune si dau un vin fiert."
Ce altceva putea fi mai potrivit pentru o sambata de decembrie daca nu o plimbare pe malul marii si o cana de vin fiert?...
Poate (cu siguranta) sunt putin egoista cand ma bucur de naivitatea unora care cred ca marea nu poate rima decat cu vara, soare si bikini si considera ca "marea" si "iarna" nu au ce cauta in aceeasi propozitie...
Se pare ca pentru unii dragostea de mare dureaza 3 luni... Pentru noi ceilalti, dragostea de mare nu e doar una de suprafata sau de sezon si se intinde de la mal si pana departe in zare sau in iarna...

NIHIL.

- Nu am chef azi, nu am chef azi, n-am chef de nimic...

- De ce ? Pentru ca e luni ? Pentru ca e toamna ?

- Nu cred, avand in vedere ca este o zi de luni fara munca si ceas desteptator, iar intre mine si toamna este un geam termopan cu jaluzelele trase.

- Si atunci ? De ce ? Pentru ca vine o zi de marti ? Pentru ca vine iarna ?

- Nici vorba. Nu cred in superstitii. Si in fond, toate cate sunt pe lumea asta vin si se duc. Daramite 3 ceasuri. Fie ele rele sau bune. Si cu putin noroc, rabdare si tutun (pentru fumatori) o sa treaca si cele 3 luni « rele » de iarna si o sa rasara iar soarele pe strazile noastre pline de gropi.

- Atunci ? Pentru ca vine si o zi de miercuri ? In care se va mai incheia un an ?

- Faptul ca se incheie, este o certitudine. Ca se incheie intr-o zi de miercuri este un motiv de bucurie pentru toti salariatii. Acum, ca este bine sau nu ca se incheie, ca ai realizat sau nu lucrurile pe care ti le-ai propus, mai conteaza ? Ca de fiecare data, ne vom imbata cu sampanie si cu speranta stereotipica intr-un an mai bun. Dar cine are timp sa se mai gandeasca la asta cand mai sunt atatea de facut pentru petrecerea de Revelion ? Eu. Azi am timp pentru toti si toate. Si la ce folos ? Daca nu am chef.

- De ce ?

- De nimic.

In vremuri de criza economico-financiara, m-am vazut si eu obligata sa imi inchid contul...de hi5. :) Stiu ca "amenint" demult ca voi face acest gest extrem (de necugetat). Si pentru ca nu sunt numai om de cuvant, ci si de fapta, iata ca azi am parasit de (si cu) buna voie si nesilita de nimeni (in afara de simtul ratiunii) comunitatea. Nu cred ca o sa mi se simta lipsa mai mult decat mi-a fost simtita prezenta. Adica aproape deloc. Camil Petrescu se rasuceste probabil acum in mormant si gandeste ca sunt o "inadaptata a societatii" virtuale. :) Sincer, ma simt mult mai "cool" asa!
