The American Dream em Paris Texas

Sem dúvida que o cinema contribuiu sempre para povoar o imaginário mundial com o "american dream" vivido naquelas paisagens despidas de finitude, onde o olhar alcança até à linha do horizonte: estradas infinitas de asfalto a arder, atravessadas de quando em vez por um camião gigante, e o silêncio do deserto grandioso.

What Will Your Verse Be?



"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, "O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?" Answer. That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play *goes on* and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?"

These Calm Little Moments


"I like these calm little moments before the storm. It reminds me of Beethoven. Can you hear it? It's like when you put your head to the grass and you can hear the growin' and you can hear the insects."

Stansfield (Gary Oldman) - Léon
