A Doll's House- Henrik Ibsen

Helmer. It's exasperating! Can you forsake your holiest duties in this way?

Nora. What do you call my holiest duties? 
 
Helmer. Do you ask me that? Your duties to your husband and children.
 
Nora. I have other duties equally sacred.

Helmer. Impossible! What duties do you mean?
 
Nora. My duties toward myself.

Helmer. Before all else you are a wife and a mother.
 
Nora. That I no longer believe. I think that before all else I am a human being, just as much as you are--or, at least, I will try to become one. I know that most people agree with you, Torvald, and that they say so in books. But henceforth I can't be satisfied with what most people say, and what is in books. I must think things out for myself and try to get clear about them. . . . I had been living here these eight years with a strange man, and had borne him three children--Oh! I can't bear to think of it--I could tear myself to pieces!. . . . I can't spend the night in a strange man's house.

SENNA (2010). Please WATCH IT!

I didn't know much about Senna, before watching this documentary. Just obvious things: great rider who died young in a F1 accident. Topics, nothing more.
When I started to watch "Senna", I was surprised by the eyes of a rider who seemed nearly shy in the interviews, but fiercely strong and  daring on the truck. His face was a canvas where his soul sketched the mixed feelings that were born as he and life slowly sprang up.
You see Senna as a true consistent human being, who debated between what he loved - racing, his country- and what was surrounding him and , sadly,  growing up -Brasil's poverty, politics infesting F1, too much engineering against pilot's talent..
This is a must-seen documentary. A must-seen film indeed. Traces of archive footage that let you be a little closer of a great man who loved and lived for a passion, who had errors and fought against them, and who taught us a great lesson of attitude and coherence.

Amy Adams & Machism

Have you noticed some people are angry with the election of Amy Adams as Lois Lane for next Superman?
So... "she's too old", they say...Too old for what?.
She was the second reason to see "The fighter", after Christian Bale. The film would have been difficult to bear without falling slept without them (specially Bale, of course).

Why are great actresses in Hollywood condemned to boring stupid jobs of old mothers in shit-commedies  (if they are lucky) just because "silicone+botox plastic dolls" need to show their operated bodies and deformed faces in new crap-films and that's what Hollywood continues invading our cinemas with?
THAT makes me angry.

Are we going back to THIS?:

Alexander Mc Queen fall-2011

I had come to the house, in a cave of trees,
Facing a sheer sky.
Everything moved, -- a bell hung ready to strike,
Sun and reflection wheeled by.

When the bare eyes were before me
And the hissing hair,
Held up at a window, seen through a door.
The stiff bald eyes, the serpents on the forehead
Formed in the air.

This is a dead scene forever now.
Nothing will ever stir.
The end will never brighten it more than this,
Nor the rain blur.

The water will always fall, and will not fall,
And the tipped bell make no sound.
The grass will always be growing for hay
Deep on the ground.

And I shall stand here like a shadow
Under the great balanced day,
My eyes on the yellow dust, that was lifting in the wind,
And does not drift away.

Stoner and people who defend that lie: THAT'S RACING!!!!!!!!!!!

Elizabeth Taylor: actress, not playboy bunny

Have you seen the now-famous nude of Elizabeth Taylor? It's been in all newspapers these days.
It was her engagement gift  to producer Michael Todd, her third husband, taken by one of her closest friends: Roddy McDowall.
Now a private collector has released it. 
I guess it must be the only thing some people care about her or any woman. 
It seems she didn't want to be paid for that kind of photo (I'm sure that she was offered a lot of money for it).
We should all remember she was an actress, not a playboy bunny.
