When

 

 

I need you.

Hope

I'll always be around

 

 

 

É por ti que escrevo que não és musa nem deusa

mas a mulher do meu horizonte

na imperfeição e na incoincidência do dia-a-dia

Por ti desejo o sossego oval

em que possas identificar-te na limpidez de um centro

em que a felicidade se revele como um jardim branco

onde reconheças a dália da tua identidade azul

É porque amo a cálida formosura do teu torso

a latitude pura da tua fronte

o teu olhar de água iluminada

o teu sorriso solar

é porque sem ti não conheceria o girassol do horizonte

nem a túmida integridade do trigo

que eu procuro as palavras fragrantes de um oásis

para a oferenda do meu sangue inquieto

onde pressinto a vermelha trajectória de um sol

que quer resplandecer em largas planícies

sulcado por um tranquilo rio sumptuoso

American Hustle    

 

  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1800241/

 

 Film-makers have been reluctant to find an alternative to the words “based on a true story”. (It wasn’t a story! It was somebody’s life!) But for American Hustle, the writer and director David O Russell comes up with an improvement – “Some of this actually happened” – which foreshadows the film’s theme: the intangibility of truth. The part we can be sure about is the Abscam scandal, a sting operation in the late 1970s in which FBI agents colluded with a con artist to snare bribe-happy politicians. Into this period setting, Russell inserts fictional characters, many of whom have reason to ask the same question: is this real? The answer is rarely straightforward. 

 

  

But how real is American Hustle? It’s one part Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and one part Ocean’s Eleven to two parts Boogie Nights; it takes a while to find the film beneath all that familiarity. If Russell has a trademark, it is his skill with an ensemble cast, reflected in the Oscar nominations that went to all four pugnacious main performers in Silver Linings Playbook, with Lawrence winning Best Actress.

True to form, there is an electrifying rapport in American Hustle: the group dynamic keeps the film fizzing. But it seems at times that Russell is going undercover just like his characters. Unusually for an idiosyncratic director so far into a magnificent career, he keeps drawing from Martin Scorsese’s box of tricks here: the camera that swoops at high speed on to an actor’s face, the medleys of 1970s hits (Steely Dan, Todd Rundgren, ELO), the flashbacks to nostalgic scenes of boyhood crime – what is Russell doing if not remaking Goodfellas in miniature?

 

Gradually, the point of all this is revealed. American Hustle doesn’t conform to one genre, though it has elements of farce, screwball, heist thriller and caper comedy. In dressing it up like a Scorsese-style crime movie, Russell brings an unusual weight and tension to what is, in essence, a gentle, rather lovely romantic comedy about tentative people trying to trust one another. The film is not without moments of physical jeopardy. The overriding danger, though, is that someone may engage prematurely those words that are as explosive as any bomb, or as final as a bullet: “I love you.”

 

I heard a rumor

Feelings

 

 

foggy and unfocused.

Listen

 

such a big silence.

 

 

(It was full moon again, did you notice?)

Unsaid feelings

 

Queria dizer-te. Queria.
Queria olhar-te. Olhar-te com força – como se olha com força? E dizer-te.
Dizer-te que sim. Sempre sim. Desde o primeiro não que sim.
Dizer-te que quero. Olhar-te com força. Dizer-te. Queria.
Dizer-te. Negar o não. Negar o não que desde sempre – onde começou o sempre? – foi sim.

Então por que aspiramos continuamente a amar? Porque o amor é o ponto onde se encontram a verdade e a magia.

Well as matter of part

 

 

O que tudo é

em mim, ouvindo-se a si próprio,

o lado de fora de o lado de fora,

o rosto de o resto,

não é o teu rosto que

por um instante se olha

em mim, não sou um reflexo

fugaz no teu olhar?

O teu lugar move-se em mim:

um jardim há muito tempo,

as filhas crescendo

fora de mim.

E a tua solidão

pensa longamente

em mim, a

tua ausência de ti.

 

 

Manuel António Pina

Não sou nada.
Nunca serei nada.
Não posso querer ser nada.
À parte isso, tenho em mim todos os sonhos do mundo.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

Impressive landscapes, plus Kristen Wiig's appealing Cheryl, the fellow worker who inflames Walter's passion, make the movie enjoyable enough. Yet its style is a constant bafflement, and nowhere more so than in a key scene on a Himalayan mountaintop—an encounter between Walter and a character played by Sean Penn. One could imagine the scene being played relatively straight, as a moment of fleeting profundity in a comedy, or as the culmination of a shaggy-dog story. What's so baffling is the way it has been played—drained of energy, tone or discernible attitude. Like so much of this journey by a shy guy from Life magazine, Walter's peak experience is weirdly lifeless.

Mr. Morgan's Last Love

 

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1838603/

 

 

 It's a slow-moving -- but beautiful -- film with performances that go straight to your heart.

 

A great film about love and friendship and family ties, albeit melancholic and with not a lot to laugh, but of a sort I wish would never end and Paris looks lovely. The director manages to give us neither too much nor too little emotion and avoids big clichés and banalities.

 

The ending leaves you wondering about a number of things, most of all how much time there was between the last scene and the penultimate one. In general there's some guessing to do here and gaps to fill by yourself, but that's fine as the best films always leave room for own interpretations.

 

 A real must-see.

From the moment we touched 'til the time had run out

 

 

 

I wake up lonely,
there's air of silence
in the bedroom and all around.
Touch me now,
I close my eyes
and dream away.

 

Make-believing we're together,
that I'm sheltered by your heart.
But in and outside I've turned to water
like a teardrop in your palm.
And it's a hard winter's day,
I dream away.

A letter to Anaïs Nin

 

 

"When you return I am going to give you one literary fuck fest — that means fucking and talking and talking and fucking."

Is rhythm the key to good sex?

 

 

"She had an overwhelming desire to tell him, like the most banal of women, Don't let me go, hold me tight, make me your plaything, your slave, be strong! But they were words she could not say.

The only thing she said when he released her from his embrace was, 'You don't know how happy I am to be with you.' That was the most her reserved nature allowed her to express."

One day

 

you’ll live forever with me
someday, someday
we’ll be together
someday, someday
we’ll be together
I heard someday
might be today
mysteries of destinies they
are somehow
and are someway
for all we know
they come tomorrow
for today
my eyes are open
my arms are raised for your embrace
my hands are here to mend what is broken
to feel again the warmth of your face

I believe there is more to life
oh I love you much more than life
and still
I believe I can change your mind
revive what is dying inside
and someday, someday
we’ll be together
someday, someday
we’ll be together
someday, someday
we’ll be together
we’ll be together
we’ll be together

Someday
