Slaughterhouse-Five (1972)
One of the proofs that Kurt Vonegut isn't an earthian at all
usually an artwork is a way to see the artist beauty, in Vonegut case it's a sign of its origin - an earthian can't come up with such a thing. his books beauty shines in any medium you present them. (why did you bomb dresden you British &#*&^$*&#$*#$?) someday, when you'll be able to surf the web to the web site of some Tramfaldor (a planet 677*10^9 mile from earth) university, you may take some course & understand what Vonegut is saying. Glenn Gould, a fellow alien, played the beautiful Bach soundtrack (another alien of course). or should we try to write these courses? I guess so. piece of life, with some few notes from Tramfaldor, to make us earthian smarter. Thanks Kurt, Glenn & the great cast & director.
La belle verte (1996)
Disconnect yourself
did you ever wonder why the floor under your feet , in the place where you live are covered with a gray material, & you can't see the soil? why this floor is full of poop? why are there boxes of metal emitting gases that you must breath? why you live in high cages, forced to hear the noise of these metal boxes? why you're driving them, & not using your feet, causing you to eventually have heart attack, if you won't die earlier from cancer from the gases, or an accident with the fast moving boxes? why you eat corpses of animals? why you use pieces of paper entitling you to any value, without which you won't have nothing, not even food? why you eat unhealthy food? why you're sitting every evening watching a box showing people telling lies, & dirtying your mind? why do you let yourself be led by fat selfish people caring only about themselves, their money & power, why don't we really listen to each other, talk to each other, why do we have these hierarchies, in which the stupidiest, incapable ones rule, control & exploit the goodness & capable weaker ones? why we go about doing wrong immoral things just because we're being told, why we we're constantly mad, worried & frustrated with such small trivial things, like a scratch in the mirror of our cars, & never see, appreciate & thank the beautiful wonderful life, nature & world that sorrounds & support us? why we ruin the world, poison ourselves, live in ugliness, support the rich selfish people exploiting us, selling us lies, tobbaco, weapons & arms, killing people with the money that we're forced to pay them as taxes?
if you haven't wondered on all this, its because you're like an ant, small cell in the super-organism, & can't see beyond your cell's vision. what you need is to be disconnected, shocked by artists such as Coline Serreau, that have a vision that you don't have, consciousness, different from that of the ants. such artists, like Jesus & Johann Sebastian Bach, cause the world to change, the super-organism to evolve into something more intelligent, more good for its cells, that are given life.
Idioterne (1998)
beautiful performance of the swan song
a metaphore for being free, in relation with others, & with 1 own's brain.. nowhere have i seen such freedom on screen, pierro is slightly behind. also, as lars likes surprises, this is all too thaught over, we are shown a sad condition of mental state, in the beautiful karen, whose plot explanation is thrown on us at the ending, just as vongut sometimes do. lars really proved himself to be an artist here. but the main issue is the possibility of freedom, which doesn't just bring happiness, but provides us with the ultimate weapon against *absurd/ugly reality*.
Empire (1964)
This movie is for a future generation
When humans will live 800 years and more, they'll simply adore this movie, full of beauty, completely stimulating, the head doesn't stop working. The cast: The Empire State building in Manhatten, a light near it, small hairs on the camera. The plot: Evening. Lights turn on. Darkness. The building turns into: A spaceship, a party, a robot, a moon, a house, &c. The lights turn off. New York starry night, with no stars.
Tôkyô monogatari (1953)
Arguably most perfect embodiment of human feelings in art
The plot: parents feelings to child, son's-wife feelings to parents, parents feelings to uncaring child, human feelings in modern city, son's widow feelings to parents, humans feelings to disturbing noise, humans feelings to nature, children feelings to mother sickness, children feelings to mother death
