Filmele sufletului meu
Cristina ma provoaca sa scriu despre cinci filme aproape de sufletul meu, filme care m-au marcat si pe care nu le voi putea uita nicicand. E greu sa aleg, va rog sa ma credeti, si sa nu va fie cu mirare ca toate cele ce le voi mentiona sunt drame. Nu sunt o drama queen, chiar de felul meu, in general, sunt o optimista dar dramele ma tin cu picioarele pe pamant, ma umanizeaza si ma fac sa apreciez viata si sa-mi testez propriile simtaminte. In general comediile nu-mi spun mai nimic, desigur, unele le vizionez cu placere si chiar am urmarit seriale de comedie (Friends fiind preferatul meu), dar asta pentru binedispunere si echilibrarea experientei. Trebuie sa scriu replicile care m-au impresionat pe mine cel mai tare in aceste filme. E greu deoarece trebuie sa-mi reamintesc in detaliu filmele, voi incerca…
Filmele despre care voi aminti sunt in ordine aleatorie si alese mai mult sau mai putin aleatoriu dintr-o lista de favorite. Sunt filme despre care nu am mai amintit pe acest blog si care mi-au placut foarte mult la vizionare.
1. Feast of love (2007) – Filmul este o meditatie asupra iubirii si a vietii, a luptei.
[Bradley and Harry are sitting on the bench by the football field reminiscing of the past year and a half]Harry Stevenson: God is either dead or he despises us.Bradley Thomas: You don’t really believe that.Harry Stevenson: Maybe. I saw the most remarkable thing just now. I wandered into the stadium, I thought I was alone but down on the 50-yard line there was a couple making love. I watched for longer then I should have. I was envious. And then I felt sorry for them. There’s so much they don’t know. Heartbreak they can’t even imagine.Bradley Thomas: [sighs] Well, even if they knew, it wouldn’t change anything.Harry Stevenson: How so?Bradley Thomas: Well, Chloe knew what was gonna happen to Oscar.Harry Stevenson: What do you mean she knew?Bradley Thomas: She did. She went to some psychic lady who predicted the whole thing.Harry Stevenson: She believed her?Bradley Thomas: Yes, Harry. She did. And she didn’t run away. She didn’t crawl into a hole. She found them a house, she threw away her birth control, and she married him. God doesn’t hate us, Harry. If he did, he wouldn’t have made our hearts so brave.
2. Fight Club (1999) – Pentru ca aici vedem drama dublei personalitati. Facem cunostinta cu un Brad Pitt diferit de ceea ce ne-a oferit pana atunci si o Helena Bonham Carter obisnuita, ciudatica dar in acelasi timp fermecatoare prin felul de-a fi. Clubul de lupte pornit de cei doi prieteni, cel deziluzionat si dezinvoltul Tyler este menit sa ii descarce pe membri de frustrarile adunate de-a lungul timpului.
Narrator: [Tyler steers the car into the opposite lane and accelerates] What are you doing?Tyler Durden: Guys, what would you wish you’d done before you died?Ricky: Paint a self-portrait.The Mechanic: Build a house.Tyler Durden: [to Narrator] And you?Narrator: I don’t know. Turn the wheel now, come on!Tyler Durden: You have to know the answer to this question! If you died right now, how would you feel about your life?Narrator: I don’t know, I wouldn’t feel anything good about my life, is that what you want to hear me say? Fine. Come on!Tyler Durden: Not good enough.
3. In Bruges (2008) – Un must see! Serios. Cu un fantastic comic de situatie, filmul este in acelasi timp si comedie, thriller si drama.
Ray: There’s a Christmas tree somewhere in London with a bunch of presents underneath it that’ll never be opened.
And I thought, if I survive all of this, I’d go to that house, apologize to the mother there, and accept whatever punishment she chose for me. Prison… death… didn’t matter. Because at least in prison and at least in death, you know, I wouldn’t be in fuckin’ Bruges. But then, like a flash, it came to me. And I realized, fuck man, maybe that’s what hell is: the entire rest of eternity spent in fuckin’ Bruges. And I really really hoped I wouldn’t die. I really really hoped I wouldn’t die.

Chloë: There’s never been a classic movie made in Bruges until now.Ray: Of course there hasn’t. It’s a shithole.Chloë: Bruges is my home town, Ray.Ray: Well, it’s still a shithole.Chloë: It’s not a shithole!Ray: What? Even midgets have to take drugs to stick it.Chloë: Okay. So, you’ve insulted my home town. You were doing really well, Raymond. Why don’t you tell me some Belgium jokes while you’re at it?Ray: Don’t know any Belgium jokes, and if I did I think I’d have the good sense not to… hang on. Is Belgium with all those child abuse murders lately? I do know a Belgium joke. What’s Belgium famous for? Chocolates and child abuse, and they only invented the chocolates to get to the kids.
[Ray sees Chloë’s shocked expression]Ray: What?Chloë: One of the girls they murdered was a friend of mine.Ray: [after a long pause, feeling bad] I’m sorry, Chloë.Chloë: One of the girls they murdered wasn’t a friend of mine. I just wanted to make you feel bad. And it worked! Quite well.
4. The Shawshank Redemption (1994) – Nu cred ca acest film mai are nevoie de prezentare din partea mea. Daca e cineva care nu l-a vazut, sa nu mai stea pe ganduri.
Andy Dufresne: That’s the beauty of music. They can’t get that from you… Haven’t you ever felt that way about music?Red: I played a mean harmonica as a younger man. Lost interest in it though. Didn’t make much sense in here.Andy Dufresne: Here’s where it makes the most sense. You need it so you don’t forget.Red: Forget?Andy Dufresne: Forget that… there are places in this world that aren’t made out of stone. That there’s something inside… that they can’t get to, that they can’t touch. That’s yours.Red: What’re you talking about?Andy Dufresne: Hope.
5. Finding Neverland (2004) – Daca nu stiati cum a fost creata povestea lui Peter Pan, a Tarii de nicaieri, trebuie sa vedeti filmul care ii aduce pe ecrane pe Johnny Depp si Kate Winslet. O drama frumoasa, plina de visuri si sperante.
Peter Llewelyn Davies: It’s just, I thought she’d always be here.J.M. Barrie: So did I. But in fact, she is, because she’s on every page of your imagination. You’ll always have her there. Always.Peter Llewelyn Davies: But why did she have to die?J.M. Barrie: I don’t know, Peter. When I think of your mother, I will always remember how happy she looked, sitting there in the parlor watching a play about her family, about her boys that never grew up. She went to Neverland. And you can visit her any time you like if you just go there yourself.Peter Llewelyn Davies: How?J.M. Barrie: By believing, Peter. Just believe.
Sunt curioasa acum ce filme si ce replici aleg Adina si Horea (fiindca-i stiu de cinefili) si, desigur, toti ceilalti care mai trec pe aici.
