We Live
I'm not telling you to make the world better, because I don't think that progress is necessarily part of the package. I'm just telling you to live in it. Not just to endure it, not just to suffer it, not just to pass through it, but to live in it. To look at it. To try to get the picture. To live recklessly. To take chances. To make your own work and take pride in it. To seize the moment. And if you ask me why you should bother to do that, I could tell you that the grave's a fine and private place, but none I think do there embrace. Nor do they sing there, or write, or argue, or see the tidal bore on the Amazon, or touch their children. And that's what there is to do and get it while you can and good luck at it.

ReplyDeleteSicilia! still the only Straub-Huillet I've seen.
ReplyDeleteThese are especially resonant, given that it's Karl Marx's birthday too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for droppin in, dudes. I forget, Brian, did you get to see _Ou git_? And, Dave, don't think I don't know it!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I saw Where Does Your Hidden Smile Lie? (sorry I just can't bring myself to do the French title thing; I know my cinephile card would be revoked on the East coast for that, which is why I stick to the provincial West) It was the only one in the PFA series I was able to make it out for. So I've only seen that and Colossal Youth.
ReplyDeleteyes. Sicilia is great. Still havent seen all of it. But I musta watched the opening scene like 14 times.
