Matteo Rovere - Homo Homini Lupus (Italy, 2006)

"3 aprile 1944

Gianna, figlia mia adorata,

è la prima ed ultima lettera che ti scrivo, e scrivo a te per prima, in queste ultime ore, perché so che seguito a vivere in te.

Sarò fucilato all'alba per un ideale, per una fede che tu, mia figlia, un giorno capirai appieno.

Non piangere mai per la mia mancanza, come non ho mai pianto io: il tuo Babbo non morrà mai. Egli ti guarderà, ti proteggerà ugualmente: ti vorrà sempre tutto l'infinito bene che ti vuole ora e che ti ha sempre voluto fin da quando ti sentì vivere dentro tua Madre.

So di non morire. (…) Sapessi quante cose vorrei dirti ma mentre scrivo il mio pensiero corre, galoppa nel tempo futuro che per te sarà, deve essere felice. Ma non importa che io ti dica tutto ora, te lo dirò sempre, di volta in volta, colla bocca di tua Madre nel cui cuore entrerà la mia anima intera, quando lascerà il mio cuore.

Vai sempre a fronte alta per la morte di tuo Padre."

Wood

Princesa Mononoke

O filme “Princesa Mononoke” vai estar na Cinemateca na próxima segunda-feira… estreou nos cinemas à 10 anos – estou velha – lembro-me de o ir ver, ao Monumental (sessão da tarde, versão inglesa, sem pipocas) com um grupo de amigas…. Na altura o filme de animação não foi uma escolha popular (afinal já tínhamos 14 anos!), mas eu insisti.
A maior parte das minhas amigas não gostou, eu fiquei presa, até hoje, à magia Miyazaki.


Não sei porque me lembro do exacto momento em que vi este filme e me esqueço de que banda é o cd que tenho a tocar no carro.... mas suponho que essa seja a razão porque me sinto impelida a recomendá-lo.

The Arcade Fire - Ocean of Noise

In an ocean of noise
I first heard your voice
Ringing like a bell
As if I had a choice, oh well!

Left in the morning
While you were fast asleep
Into an ocean of violence
A world of empty streets

You've got your reasons
And me I've got mine
But all the reasons I gave
Were just lies to buy myself some time

In an ocean of noise
I first heard your voice
Now who here among us
Still believes in choice?
Not I!

No way of knowing
What any man will do
An ocean of violence
Between me and you

You've got your reasons
And me I've got mine
But all the reasons I gave
Were just lies to buy myself some time

I'm gonna work it out
Cause time wont work it out
I'm gonna work it out
Cause time wont work it out for you
I'm gonna work it on out

Money Mark - Pick Up The Pieces

Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof

Stuntman Mike: Well, Pam... Which way you going, left or right?

Pam: Right!

Stuntman Mike: Oh, that's too bad...

Pam: Why?

Stuntman Mike: Because it was a fifty fifty shot on wheter you'd be going left or right. You see we're both going left. You could have just as easily been going left, too. And if that was the case... It would have been a while before you started getting scared. But since you're going the other way, I'm afraid you're gonna have to start getting scared... immediately!

Editors - Smokers Outside The Hospital Doors

I can't shake this feeling I've got
My dirty hands
Have I been in the wars?
The saddest thing that I'd ever seen
Were smokers outside the hospital doors

Abay was born into a culture in which girls are circumcised before age 12.When it came time for her circumcision ceremony, Abay said, “No.” Her mother insisted: An uncircumcised woman would be ostracized and could never marry, Abay was told.When her mother’s demands became unbearable, she ran away to live with a sympathetic godfather. Eight years later, Abay returned to her village and began work as a station agent for CARE, supervising the opening of a primary school and a health clinic and the construction of a well. After five years, she finally convinced one of the women to let her film a circumcision ceremony. She showed the film to the male leaders. They had never seen a female circumcision and were horrified.Two weeks later, the male leaders called a special meeting and voted fifteen to two to end female circumcision in their village.

Adjoa is the youngest of four wives and spends most of her time in the field tending the grain and corn crops. The other wives share the household chores, but Adjoa prefers working communally on the farm with the other women in the village, instead of spending time alone in the kitchen over a hot smoky fire.Last year, CARE helped Adjoa form a thirty-member women’s savings and credit association. Having access to loans allowed the women to afford preventive health care items for their children, such as mosquito nets and medicine, that their husbands were hesitant to purchase. During their group meetings, the women also discussed family planning and women’s rights. They discovered that they had a more powerful voice collectively than as individuals. Gradually, they became less shy about speaking out at community meetings, and now the women contribute substantially to the previously all-male village civic meetings. As word of the success of the Bowku women’s group has spread, the women are being asked to help form women’s associations in neighboring villages as well.

Fahima, a teacher since 1985, was one of thousands of professional women who lost their jobs when the Taliban came to power in 1996. In defiance of the Taliban andat great risk to herself, Fahima opened a clandestine school for young girls. At one point, 130 girls were coming to her home each week to study math, science, and the local language, Pushto. When the girls were asked why they were going to Fahima’s house, they said she was their aunt. Although harassed by the religious police and threatened with beatings and worse, Fahima continued operating her school for girls until the fall of the Taliban in 2001.

Foi o primeiro filme que vi de Bergman, há alguns anos (começam a parecer demasiados) com a melhor das amigas, continua a ser o meu preferido.

Homenagem

Ingmar Bergman 1918 - 2007

"A morte veio-lhe calma e docemente", disse Eva Bergman, sem precisar a causa e a hora exacta da morte do cineasta.

Do schools today kill creativity? (Ken Robinson, TEDTalks)

Queria saber falar assim!

Ashes and Snow - A poesia na imagem

Gregory Collbert capta a comunhão entre o Homem e a Natureza de forma tão sublime que, ao ver as imagens pela primeira vez pensei que as mesmas tinham sido trabalhadas digitalmente... mas não, são "apenas" o resultado da visão de um homem captada por uma lente.

Vale a pena ir ao site oficial da exposição

Democratização do conhecimento

Ando viciada nas conferências da TED :)

Retirado do site oficial da TED (ideas worth spreading): http://www.ted.com/

"TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds. Since then its scope has become ever broader.

The annual conference now brings together the world's most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes).
This site makes the best talks and performances from TED available to the public, for free. More than 100 talks from our archive are now available, with more added each week. These videos are released under a Creative Commons license, so they can be freely shared and reposted.

Voltei

Acabei o curso, e agora? Depois de 5 anos a estudar Direito não fiz uma festa, não viajei, fiquei em casa a dormir e a decorar a programação da tv.

Agora, sem ainda saber o que quero fazer, se vou para Maastricht ou fico em Lisboa, sem qualquer verdadeiro plano para o futuro, voltei aqui... para "postar" sobre coisas realmente interessantes que andam por aí, sobre pessoas que fazem a diferença, pelo menos para mim. Voltei para me inspirar :)
