my failed attempt
at life by far
and post about
irrelevant garbage
like films and celebrities.
so yesternight
channel five went on a
much-needed some-hours hiatus
from the usual nonsense they air.
under the tuscan sun:
was really just alright.
nothing really spectacular other
than pretty Tunscany landscape
and pretty Italian men.
if you really must know its
based on the true story of the writer
who is also a wreckage of an american
divorcee.
settled in Tuscany on impulse
and created some 2hours of mediocre bore.
oh and they made sandra oh lesbian,
ridiculously pregnant and with
bad hair.
closer
was good.
many dua-pais:
jude law is hot right,
but he is the same cheating b*stard
in real life as Dan Woolf in the show.
see the poster says
if you believe in love at first sight
you never stop looking.
ie if you are capable of
believing that you have fallen in love
with the stranger that you have,
really, merely been physically attracted to,
then you can do it many times over.
you might also, then, believe
that the new love is the greater love
and it therefore
justifies doublecrossing.
anyway the whole story is
some adult mess among the 4 of them.
i don't have much to say about it,
only that these siao angmohs
are really kinky.
still i really like the screenplay and
the cast.
and it also confirms my
suspicion that
everyone is lying
until proven honest.
the pianist is awesome.
its my second watch but stil
as haunting.
must be my strange love
for warthemed stories.
i think this is a reenactment
of the experience of the
lead character,
Wladyslaw a polish jewish pianist
during Nazis invasion of Poland.
i don't mean to dramatise, again,
but it does bother me that
just 6,7 decades ago
there was this simultaneous
and collective severe loss of conscience.
the nazis and the jap politicians
managed to desensitise their soldiers to
lose all moral bearings,
and their innate ( i think) will to be ethical.
its real, they
sincerely believed that they were
doing the right thing.
in this documentory:
the old war veterans discussed
about rape and torture
like it was a day's job.
emotionless, didn't miss a beat.
not only these,
people actively expressed
their belief that
"inferior groups" had no dignity
and didn't require respect.
pre civil rights movement days,
ethnic cleansing in ex yugoslavia etc.
it is absurb to
screw people over just because
of what they didnt choose to be.
we all know more than a few
people who are ignorantly racist
and they talk funny like it is some
glamorous inside joke.
if you knew,
it is never easy
standing outside the
much bigger circle,
in whichever aspect.
so people who are used to
prancing around in their
happy crowded bubbles should
just cut some of us on the other side
some freakin slack.
we are not lesser humans,
we just belong to a lesscrowded world.
altho i am not of big fan
of the japanese culture
i consciously do not hate them
because that we make me one
of those despicable humanbeans.
i am civil about our coexistence and
i embrace the fact
that my friends like them.
i will not have their food
or be okay with their pop culture,
but
i will not disrespect or
mess with their dignity.
not so long ago
we were as babaric as history
has proven us to be.
its frightening that this is what
we TRULY are,
not sure how much different we are today.
omgzzzzz
i am such a oprah winfrey
wannabe talking
about injustice and such.
