yes moaning! but also telling a small and entertaining anecdote related to a coupla interesting things... when putting off work, i was reminded of the annoyance that is michael moore... horrible images to upbeat music, toying with emotions... obviously the next logical step is the day today, a programme that i consider to be the finest piece of tv comedy ever. there is a small sketch trivialising the horror of war by setting the images to applicable pop songs... satire at its height! a programme from 1994 (taking its cues from its radio predecessor-on the hour- from 91/92) that still rings true in 2009, thats very impressive and shows the true stagnation of britain-or just possibly exploring the cyclical nature of everyday life...
but attempts to stop laughing just didnt work. in the uni library this is bad, but it is only with significant knowledge that humour can be derived. my friend, known to the common public as james, and i have a strong interest in history (with this james chappy studying it properly) and so moved onto discuss the holocaust.
first post checkpoint-the holocaust, done, lets move on...
i believe the finest film (from 2.5 i've seen on the subject) other than a short doc 'night and fog' to deal with the subject is 'life is beautiful' as it brings hope into the situatuion and for my money truely personalises it. i've seen 'schindler's list' and considered it to be too lengthy and involved in being serious that you lost sympathy with the people... i started watching 'the pianist' but it is a heart wrenching film, very difficult... back to 'life is beautiful', the film deals with the terrors in a more light hearted way-not triviliasing it in the slightest-but instead just i dunno making it not a wholly doom and gloom thing... if you've not seen it see it, and if you stay dry eyed i will pay you... thats a bad idea!
the library is basically destroying my soul, a good 15 minute arse about on the keyboard in the music room and that's my stint for today!
hope all is well
keep it rockin'
