de sofrer e amar, a gente não se desfaz.

the day i managed to see the film all the way through.

a psychiatrist would ask

- how do you feel?

and perhaps it is urgent to realize the difference between HOW we feel and WHAT we feel.

that way we are never prepared.

some people may be right part of the time. some people may be wrong part of the time. but we all can't be all right all of the time. i think abraham lincoln said that.

i'll let your be in my dream if you let me be in your dream. i (bob dylan) said that. - how cool alienation can be.

i mean, why do we waste this huge amount of time judging and putting people into boxes - that is: that movie is deterministic, or he is too idealistic, which is to say: she is alien-ated.

what is to be alien-ated?
what if it is like being alien?
which is what we ARE. we are always others. hell is others. maybe never ourselves.

examine the nature of everything you observe.
try switching off the lights. look at a digital clock.

let's... umm... try to stop the next great-looking person out on the streets and fucking chat with them. don't let them pass and vanish. maybe they'll have a great soap-opera project.

films have the awareness of being multi-layered. there is a reality and then there is someone playing that character, pretending to feel and talk like that.

dreaming is like being dead; and... it is much like being alive. but when you're dreaming - you're actually living.

oooooooo I see that you've finally watched Waking Life. ;p


Eu gostei de uma frase do final de "Funny Games".. eu não lembro agora como é exatamente.. mas o garoto fica filosofando sobre essa parada de filmes.. e diz que se o filme é uma história, então todos que estão assistindo estão também vivendo essa história, portanto, aquilo ali é tão real quanto a "realidade"... gente, eu viajei pra outra galáxia quando ouvi isso. Tipo, FODA. São milhares de realidades paralelas. Pq sim, É uma realidade paralela pra onde vc viaja. E vc, ali, assistindo, está viajando pelo buraco negro. Fato.

Também acho isso dos livros e da música. Mas cinema definitivamente é a arte mais completa de todas.

adorei esse post... e a frase final ficou muito, muito legal (parece com o tipo de coisa que o gaiman diz).

Waking life? Você não assistiu comigo há tempos?
