Morning Sea

 

 

Mar da manhã

de Konstandinos Kaváfis

Deter-me aqui. E olhar um pouco a natureza.
Mar da manhã e um céu sem nuvens,
brilhar do azul e orla amarela; e tudo
belo, grande, iluminado.

Deter-me aqui. E iludir-me a ver isto
(sim, por instantes o vi, quando aqui parei)
e não, também aqui, meus devaneios,recordações, imagens do prazer.

Tradução de Vasco Graça Moura

( 1942 - 2014 )

"In Secret" is a costume drama with a gigantic accent on the drama. It's my kind of crazy, and I was quite entertained. To borrow again from Shakespeare, "'Tis Madness, but there's method to't."

 

In Secret,” the latest adaptation of Émile Zola’s “Thérèse Raquin,” opens with a dip in the water and quickly comes ashore with furiously galloping horses and sweeping camera movements. The galloping suggests urgency; the camera movements imply narrative grandeur, or maybe directorial ambition. The darkly muted colors, evoking gathering storms and winter chill, add a brooding note. The river that runs alongside the road like a parallel boulevard will probably mean something only to those who have read Zola’s book, a classic of literary naturalism, which was published in 1867 and greeted by one appalled critic as “a pool of mud and blood.”

Come on Hollywood! What going on with you?

 

While "The Other Woman" raises some thoughtful questions about independence, identity and the importance of sisterhood, ultimately it would rather poop on them and then throw them through a window in hopes of the getting the big laugh.

 

I did laugh a few times.

Noah

"Noah" is more of a surrealist nightmare disaster picture fused to a parable of human greed and compassion, all based on the bestselling book of all time, the Bible, mainly the Book of Genesis.

 

More specifically, "Noah" is writer-director Darren Aronofksy's interpretation of the story of Noah and the flood. He's made a few changes.

Okay, more than a few.

 

Among other things, Aronofsky has stirred in ideas from earlier film versions of Noah's story, plus bits from other religions and mythologies, including the Kabbalah, pre-Christian paganism and, it would appear, J.R.R. Tolkien and "The Neverending Story." And he's worked in what comic books or long-form TV watchers would term "callbacks" to earlier parts of the Old Testament, including the slaying of Abel by his brother Cain, the death of Noah's father Lamech, and Adam and Eve's ejection from the Garden of Eden.

 

Darren Aronofsky’s Biblical epic is the craziest big movie in years, a farrago of tumultuous water, digital battle, and environmentalist rage (think of Al Gore glaring at the Apocalypse). Aronofsky’s Noah (Russell Crowe) is a gloomy vegan who accepts the annihilating judgment of the entity he calls the Creator: man has polluted the earth, and must go. The movie shifts back and forth between the visionary and the mercenary, between startling invention and mall-movie cliché. At one point, Noah tells his family the story of existence, and we see the void, the first dazzling light, protozoa, lizards crawling out of ponds, and evil unclean man. In a single sequence, Aronofsky combines creationism, Darwinian evolution, original sin, the end of days, and radical environmentalism. With Ray Winstone as Tubal-Cain, a filthy thug who fights to get himself and his followers onto the ark; Jennifer Connelly as Noah’s wife, who pleads for human life; and Logan Lerman, Anthony Hopkins, and Emma Watson. Matthew Libatique did the apocalyptic cinematography.

Esta é a madrugada que eu esperava
O dia inicial inteiro e limpo
Onde emrgimos da noite e do silêncio
E livres habitamos a substância do tempo.

On love

 

 

 

Instead of writing,
I would rather be saying
all these words to you.
