“The Act of Killing” documentary review (4/5)

What is the meaning of the first and last scenes of the film??
Surrealism
Can it be somehow related to pornography?

Compare with “Jigarthanda” (Tamil movie) – acting (reverse re-enactment) >> humanizing of the monster-villain

Emote, emote, emote…… or fuck off!!!

Distinguish:
War,
Murder &
Genocide
“I just did what my conscience told me…!”
“We need gangsters (‘free men’)… to get things done!”
Compare with Narendra Modi & co. in India!?

 

“Demolition” movie review (3.5/5 – Hit)

No death, no new life!
Life + loss = resurrection (something beyond life and death)!

What do his career and personality have to do with each other?

Could all tragedies somehow be blessings in disguise??

Distinguish:
Destruction
&
Deconstruction

“Pay attention… & take care…”

Jake Gyllenhaal is becoming one of my favorite actors (somewhat like Michael Fassbender)

Ashland Bridge in Yorklyn, Delaware, USA

More than a century after it was built, the Ashland Covered Bridge was recorded, in 1965, as one of the last three intact covered bridges in Delaware. It was restored in 2008 and is one of the centrepieces of Yorklyn, where residents are using it to demonstrate the importance of the town’s role in local history. On a crisp autumn day, like the one pictured here, crossing the bridge over Red Clay Creek must feel like a small trip back in time.

The second horizon!

The liminal threshold……?? (Psychoanalysis)

Chamonix, Haute savoie, France

The Aiguilles Rouges (Red Peaks) mountain range dominates this scenic view of the Chamonix region of south-eastern France. Chamonix is a popular destination for skiers, and its reputation as one of the world’s premiere winter playgrounds was assured when it became the first location of the Winter Olympic Games in 1924.
It’s also home to what is currently the highest vertical-ascent cable car in the world. The cable car takes visitors from a starting elevation of 1,035 metres in Chamonix up to 3,842 metres at the summit of Aiguille du Midi. Some passengers were recently stranded overnight in the cars at an altitude of nearly 3,810 metres, but no one was hurt following a daring helicopter rescue. For now, we’ll just admire the view from here, thanks.
