David Lynch Una Storia Vera

15 mar 07

Voto:

No, there's not even a shadow of realism. I agree with the praise, what a rascal the good David is to tell us this story of slow, relentless determination. But the Lynch of the soul-snatcher is elsewhere, and that's what I prefer.

Kevin Smith Clerks (Commessi)

Excellent. It seems remarkable to note how in the "sfasciese," among the many syntactic depravity, the terrible k's instead of c's that are invading the planet and will gradually supplant the human race do not appear. As for the movie, I sprinkle ashes on my head, I haven't seen it. I urgently need to remedy this antziquènot.

Pink Floyd The Dark Side Of The Moon

The things I can't stand about this album: 1) The volume (very high) of the bells at the beginning of Time, extremely annoying and unforgivable in such a polished product. 2) The pairing of Money/ Us And Them, in my opinion really nothing special, quite cloying in fact. 3) The torrent of (useless) reviews it generates. 4) The fact that it is universally defined as the ultimate masterpiece, to the point that many really believe it and for years forget to listen to the rest (only to realize later and learn that the best is elsewhere, but this doesn’t always happen). Yes, probably point 4 weighs the most, and it has created in me a certain aversion towards what remains, nonetheless, a great rock album.

The regret of not having seen him in the cinema comes close to that of not having seen Miles Davis perform live.

Danny Boyle Trainspotting

I’m not entirely sure what I wrote, maybe a big load of nonsense, but one thing I’m certain of: the most realistic drug moment in cinema was portrayed by the great Forrest Whitaker in "Bird," when he explains to someone I can’t remember why he injects it and has no intention of stopping. I wonder if any of you were as struck by it as I was to the point of remembering it.

Just two more things: 1) A movie is NEVER compared to the book it's based on, at least not to derive a value judgment on one or the other. 2) I don't believe that Trainspotting is a "realistic" film about drugs, nor do I think that was the intent. Trainspotting is a beautiful cartoon; it is indeed a generational film, but only in relation to its "consumers," that is to that community that has ritually watched it serially, and perhaps still does.

Average rating 4.04, I thought it would be lower. Better this way. Anyway, Trainspotting is evaluated without a score, or rather it can't be evaluated, like certain albums. From a strictly cinematic point of view, it deserves a stretched 3, but if I think back to the opening of Born Slippy and everything it carries with it, if I remember those nights of home revelry colored by yet another, ritual viewing of Trainspotting on VHS, the score can only be 15. The average would be 9, but that option is missing.

I was familiar with the work, and I listened to it again last night in a new light.

And I don't know if I'm explaining myself... everything is very beautiful, I would have liked to review it myself but at the time I chose Money Jungle instead. A review that's even more spot-on than usual.
