Heart Condition

The theme of a Ghost lawyer (Denzel Washington) and a white alive Human cop (Bob Hoskins) is rendered with lots of subtle humour on not only racial prejudice, but ghost prejudice, as well. Heart Condition (1990) – a movie about the vicissitudes of life and love, at moments reminding of “Sixth Sense”, at moments of “Ghost” but very unique and entertaining in its own way.

Black and White

Below photo is not a black-and-white one technically, but visually it is. When it snows for two days in a row there is a special magic in the air – both outdoor and indoor.

84 Charing Cross Road

A voracious script-reader – Anne Bancroft – who “can never get interested in thing that didn’t happen to people who never lived”, finally crossing the ocean … a bit too late though. An intricate transatlantic story all in letters over a span of some 20+ years. 84 Charing Cross Road (1987) – Anthony Hopkins, Judi Dench and the whole cast – movingly authentic.

On fears and risks

Fears. Of Flying. And others. Risks. If you don’t risk anything, you risk even more. “I see the whole episode in my memory as if it were a very crisply photographed black and white movie. Directed by Bergman perhaps. We are playing ourselves in the movie version. If only we could escape from always having to play ourselves !”, Erica Jong, Fear of Flying

The Blue Cake :-)

Nothing is impossible for fairies – they just make places come to you with a snap of a finger. A Fairy who shares my passion for Istanbul once said that she would make a cake rendering the atmosphere of the city. And she did it – it was delightful both to see and taste.

Reality, perfection …

Rayna Tzvetkova — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 19:51:09 +0000

God. Nature. Free Will. Reality. Perfection. If circumstances are seen as unfortunate it is only because of our inadequate conception of reality. “If the mind has once been affected by two emotions at the same time, it will, whenever it is afterwards affected by one of the two, be also affected by the other.” Part III, proposition 14, Spinoza’s Ethics. ‘Reality is perfection’. My mind sometimes struggles with it.
