NOT IN THIS LIFE

2010-01-10T21:40:00.001Z

Shivering with you, we shoot our breath into the cold
We see the shine from a town that sucked the life straight from the desperate souls
And out in the distance are silhouettes from the headlights
That brighten up our faces and the tears inside our tired eyes
And I finally realized that no matter where we go
We'll never truly find ourselves if we only ever look alone
We drank too much and here's to us
'Cause we succeeded in forgetting that we were still alive
And I lost myself along the way, still got ambitions
Because hope is the one thing that keeps me going in the worst of times
I know I never claimed to have a heart of gold
I haven't been myself lately and I felt so strong a year ago
Silent cries for help echo through late nights and empty streets
And I'd suffer outloud but no one would care enough to be listening
Proving to our heads that our hearts have reasons to still beat
Is sometimes harder than it seems, so beat some life back into me
But on nights like this say "fuck the world" and pass the drink
We'll only be alive one time 'til we rot in hell for eternity
And when I'm burning I don't want to fucking regret anything
So if life's a joke then show your teeth and raise your glass and sin with me

two different bodies
the same bond linking
what's been sacred
and with trust and dedication
harmonically combined
although distant true love sees no barriers
feelings are fire
and that power within the fire
that power is trust and that
look in your eyes is what keeps
me going day after day,
night after night
I'll be with you
I'll be with you

The Whispered World

2009-03-30T21:02:00.009+01:00

The Taste of Tea, ou "Cha no Aji" em Japonês, é um filme que não deve ser levado demasiado a sério. Antes de sequer começar a vê-lo, aconselho toda a gente a abrir a sua mente, pois este não é um filme qualquer. Apesar da história não ser muito elaborada, tem pequenos (grandes!) detalhes capazes de nos agarrar ao ecrã desde o início ao fim.

Em relação ao plot, não há muito a dizer, pois cada acção que decorre ao longo dos 143min é desencadeadora de tramas que não posso contar, senão estaria a ser spoiler! Mas, basicamente, o filme retrata a vida pacata de uma familia num ambiente rural no Japão. Família essa que cujos membros é mais estranho que o anterior. Temos a filha Sachiko que é perseguida por uma versão gigante de si mesma; o filho Hajime que a rapariga de quem gostava, parte para outra cidade; o tio que viveu durante vários anos em Tokyo e decide mudar-se de novo para junto da família; a mãe que é uma artista de anime desempregada; o pai que é hipnotizador; e temos, por fim, a personagem mais estranha de todo o filme - o avô Akira que mostra toda a sua bondade e maluquice em momentos inesquecíveis.

Mas porque é que eu adoro tanto este filme?... Bom, para ser sincero, não consigo especificar em concreto a razão que me leva a afirmar que este é um dos filmes que me deixa mais feliz com a vida. Talvez seja a beleza da fotografia que enche a vista de tal forma que nos hipnotiza e não deixa descolar; ou então a simplicidade das personagens em que cada uma transporta em si um pedaço de vida que, acredito, ser similar a cada um de nós; ou até a banda sonora que encaixa perfeitamente em todas as situações.

No geral, The Taste of Tea é grandioso. As performances dos actores estão muito bem conseguidas e ainda conta com Tadanobu Asano (Ichi the Killer, Zatôichi, Last Life in the Universe) no papel de tio.
Aconselho este filme a todos os que gostam de cinema, principalmente cinema asiático, pois este é um filme espectacular que ninguém deve perder!

Ela lambia
a lata aberta
horas a fio
sem perceber
que o que bebia
era o seu próprio sangue.

The Test Of Time

2008-12-09T15:06:00.008Z

I feel, I see the pressure to move on
The hurry to put these years behind
A test of time you can never pass
You can only hope you'll survive

Now you are facing the wall...

Forget your past, who cares about today?
You are living for tomorrows instead
Afraid of death you think you're living large
Now its time you realize to breathe is not enough

And now you are facing the wall
Trapped yourself in the wall

Can you say that these changes in your life
Are taking you to where you want to be
Try your best to remember the days
When freedom ran through your veins

And now you are facing the wall
Trapped yourself in the wall
And now you're facing all the things
You said you'd never be
Trapped yourself in the wall

And now you face the wall
Longing for the songs
Believe your time is over
Believe your life is done

And now you face the wall (the wall)
Longing for the songs (the songs)
Believe your time is over (your time is over)
Believe your life is done.

Garden Party

2008-11-19T17:01:00.009Z

When I first heard about this film, I thought to myself "Bah... just another 'Crash'-like movie". But then I read somewhere that it's a indie movie, so I decided to give it a shot (since I'm not into that Hollywood mainstream crap) and I got to say that it didn't disappointed my at all.

The movie tells the story of five people trying to make it in Los Angeles in their own way.
It revolves around a 15-year-old girl who ran home and tries to find a job in the big city; a young musician's urge to make a living in music (who kind of reminded me of that old punk spirit, but in a soft way); a realtor who is also a pot-dealer and her gay assistant; a painter who has some crazy fascination about porn.

Like all 'Crash'/'Magnolia'-like movies, the lives of all these characters tend to mix as the film develops, and 'Garden Party' is no exception. But, contrary to these movies, it shows, not only the bads of each characters lives, but also the bads of the city itself. I think what I liked the most was the atmosphere around the characters as they mix with all the people and places around LA. And they all seem so confused and frustrated that they tend to do the most extreme things.

In the end, I was satisfied with 'Garden Party', the plot isn't original but the performances were ok, and I hope I can see some of these actors again in some other movies!

Yo!

First of all I'd like to say that this blog isn't exactly what I had in mind, but I kinda liked the result. Yeah, I know, it's my first post and it doesn't demonstrate what I have in thought, but here, you'll find (hopefully) some thoughts and "news" related to my personal interests (sorry Diogo, no porn =/ ahaha) and I hope you'll like what I try to express every once in a while!

Well, see you soon!
