Films of the week

This week I watched several films.... 3, actually, plus one last week that worth being mentioned.

The first one is Stand By Me (1986). It's the story of a gang of 4 boys who found out about a dead body, which motivates the long journey. If you've got friends, it's a must.

Last thursday I went to Homer's house watch some films with the guys. The first one was Die Hard (1988). It's the story of a policeman who wasn't really supposed to participate in a party of a big company building. But despite that, the entire building is taken hostage. Without shoes, the policeman got, by himself, in charge of "taking care" of the terrorists.

The second movie of Homer's patriot week movie session was Dog Day Afternoon (1975). It's a real story about a guy who stealed a bank with his partner. The direction and the actor were perfect!

The last movie was Das Leben Der Anderen (2006), which I watched at the Cultura open TV channel. In the time of socialism in East Germany, a couple is secret and closely watched by an agent of the german secret police.

The Fallen and Os Melhores do Mundo

Today I watched The Fallen. It's a drama movie during the second world war in a time when the few Axis soldiers were trying to survive, looking for a safe place close to the borders of Italy.
After that, I watched Os Melhores do Mundo. It's a famous brazilian humor show played in 2007.
Tomorrow I plan on writting about a studying methodology and aout English.

Spider-Man 3

I've just watched Spider-Man 3. I wasn't that fan on Spider-Man so far.. but has it changed?
On the first one, it was a discovery for Peter Parker. Something like "I have super powers!!".
On the second one, it was as existencial crisis. "Why is it all happening?"
And now, he has faced his dark side. I'm not going to say too much about the movie, but what made spider man be my super hero right now.
The first thing is that his life is not easy. As his photographer job doesn't makes him earn much money, he lives in a rented old and small apartment, that is not paid in time, sometimes. The second is that he has so many stuffs to do like study, work and save the world that made me think "Hey, maybe I can do more with my time!". Third and forth, he has a bad side and makes mistakes. Nobody wants to be bad or to make mistakes, but it's in human's essence. The relationship between Peter and Mary Jane is something so real... how misunderstandings can make bad things...
Well, some stuffs I identify with him and others I want to be like him. Isn't it what makes a hero a hero?

Why

The theme was started by looking through some Maurits Cornelis Escher pictures, which are physically impossible to exist, but definately possible to be drawn, when the Horseman picture was found.
To fit this background, some arabic/islamic pictures were seen when I finally found the current header one, which fits perfectly into the arabic/islamic idea of the Escher picture and the idea of traveling as a need, for ponderings and reflections, and how one's decision makes part of other's life.
