south of france in a mission

dream scape: south of france in a mission.
wrote by SS and ilustrated by MM







MM & SS were lying on a mattress, talking very quietly. All the people in the building were moving with them to some place, but they don't know to where. They had a kind of mission to accomplish. They had no close relationship with the others, and barely knew their names. It was late evening, and they were waiting to move from the building during the night. They had with them some plasic bottles of water. no food, but they weren't hungry.







In the second scene it was afternoon, it was hot and SS was sure they were in the south of france. They were sitting in a bar, drinking a beer. They were waiting for two friends (who?) who have to come back to the bar after refueling.










MM, SS and their friends have to go to visit a small town. The car they were waiting for was SS's first one - a twingo bordeaux, or maybe MM`s first one - a Peugeot 206 gris cendré. They saw through the window of the bar the car coming. The dream stops and they went out to swim in a tecnicolor lake.

Something; or just Pulp Fiction...


17. INT. DRESSING ROOM - NIGHT 17.

We're inside the room where the MUSIC is PLAYING. In the f.g.
MIA WALLACE, naked with her back to us, talks to Vincent
through a crack in the door. The door shields the front of
her body from Vincent.

MIA
Vincent Vega?

VINCENT
I'm Vincent, you Mia?

MIA
That's me, pleased to meetcha. I'm
still getting dressed. To your
left, past the kitchen, is a bar.
Why don't you make yourself a
drink, have a seat in the living
room, and I'll be out within three
shakes of a lamb's tail.

VINCENT
Take your time.

Mia closes the door. Before she can fully turn around and
show us her face...

WE CUT.

words and gestures

from SeverinSever to MarieMatématique, 19 September 2010


Perfect video, dear MM., superfunny, impossible to not smiling.But I dance kalinka better. I'll show to you next time we'll meet.



There are people made by words and people made by gestures. You are able to reach the limit for both, words and gestures. That's in my mind your creativity, la pratique de l'art de l'existence. I've heard someone calls you crazy. I hate it. you have the gift to change the things, create situations and worlds. Don't lose it. And don't lose your own way to live. don't be inauthentic. You don't deserve it.



They hurt you at home and they hit you at school,
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool,
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years,
Then they expect you to pick a career,
When you can't really function you're so full of fear,

a song:

a writer:
Cat's Cradle is a 1963 novel by Kurt Vonnegut. It explores issues of science, technology, and religion, satirizing the arms race and many other targets along the way. After turning down his original thesis, the University of Chicago, in 1971, awarded Vonnegut his Master's degree in anthropology for Cat's Cradle

a place:
Merzouga is a small village in southeastern Morocco, about 35 kilometers southeast of Rissani, about 45 kilometers from Erfoud, and about 50 kilometers from the Algerian border.
The village is most famous for Erg Chebbi, a Saharan erg, and it is for this reason a part of the itineraries of many tourists visiting Morocco. Merzouga also has the largest natural body of water in Morocco.

I know that I've been mad in love before
And how it could be with you
Really hurt me baby, really cut me baby
How can you have a day without a night
You're the book that I have opened
And now I've got to know much more

The curiousness of your potential kiss
Has got my mind and body aching
Really hurt me baby, really cut me baby
How can you have a day without a night
You're the book that I have opened
And now I've got to know much more

Like a soul without a mind
In a body without a heart
I'm missing every part

Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun



The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun

point



Pink Floyd's originally theme "Careful with That Axe, Eugene" was included in his album "Ummagumma" released the 17 December of 1968. The group re-recorded the track, in the key of E minor instead of the original D minor in 1969, for the Antonioni's Zabriskie Point film. «The explosion apparently represents the psychological separation from corporate greed, superficiality, and racial injustice.» New York Times - February 10, 1970









An Italian in California: a technical masterpiece with sub-par substance, 19 September 2004
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066601/

Author: doctorlightning from United States
There aren't too many times when I see a film and go, "huh, what?", but this was one of them. Maybe after seeing Zabriskie Point I felt much the same way Woody Allen felt after seeing 2001- he only liked the film after seeing it three times over a two year period, realizing the filmmaker was ahead of him in what was going on. Michelangelo Antonioni, in one of his few tries at making films inside of the US (after Red Desert, he did Blow-Up, this film, China, and The Passenger, all filmed outside his native Italy), I could sense he almost tried to learn about the ways of the country through his own mastery of the medium. The results show that he doesn't lack the means to present images, feelings, tones, colors, sounds, and a visual representation of this era. "A director's job is to see", Antonioni once stated. Whatever that means, he doesn't disappoint for the admirer of his post-fifties work (I say post-fifties since I've yet to see any of his films from before L'Avventura)...

Björk - It's Oh So Quiet
Letra:
it's. oh. so quiet
it'a oh. so still
you're all alone
and so peaceful until...

you fall in love
zing boom
the sky up above
zing boom
is caving in
wow bam
you've never been
so nuts about a
guy
you wanna laugh
you wanna cry
you cross your heart
and hope to die

'til it's over and then
it's nice and quiet
but soon again
starts another big riot

you blow a fuse
zing boom
the devil cuts loose
zing boom
so what's the use
wow bam
of falling in love

it's. oh. so quiet
it's. oh. so still
you're all alone
and so peaceful until...

you ring the bell
bim bam
you shout and you yell
hi ho ho
you broke the spell
gee. this is swell
you almost have a
fit
this guy is "gorge"
and i got hit
there's no
mistake this is
it

'til it's over and then
it's nice and quiet
but soon again
starts another big riot

you blow a fuse
zing boom
the devil cuts loose
zing boom
so what's the use
wow bam
of falling in love

the sky caves in
the devil cuts loose
you blow blow blow
blow blow your
fuse
when you've fallen in love

ssshhhhhh...

a fragment

mm and ss, while driving, listening to:



heading for the ancient village of Bagno Vignoni, located in the heart of Tuscany, in the Val d'Orcia Natural Park, because it's the place where Nostalghia was shot, and it's a movie they love...



it's november, snow covers the fields around the village
fog arising from the pool...



it's dark when they arrive; nobody is around; they have a fast dinner and they go to sleep. a voice from the space tells a lullaby, and it's a book they are reading...


The Names by Don DeLillo

...and they know nobody is out, in the whole world. they are stuck in that place for the rest of their life. they wake up in the middle of the night. outside is cold, it's snowing a little. they undress and have a bath in the hot water of the pool. fog and steam surround them. they hug in the water, ther are free of all desires, and they know there is not a world beyond the steam.
