Sitting in a theatre filled with kids chatting is a nightmare that was defeated by the first minute of an animated movie that was expected to be made for children and turned out to be an intriguing memorable memorandum for all the man kind.
Pixar's WALL.E crossed the boarders of impossibility and created a masterpiece that one can confidently put in the list for the best movies ever made...it is not a story to be told…it is a wondrous journey to the paradise of soul and mind that has to be taken.
After watching one hour of this post-animation movie and realizing that you have forgotten the fact that there was no dialogue in this film…one should immediately consider this a modern Shakespearian poem without words…a Kubrick's recycled "2001" merged with expressionism of emotions from the "Hello,Dolly!" days…a Chaplin's silent satire of human grotesque floating in Axiom's space.
The "Finding Nemo" director succeeded in replacing the lifeless objects mythology with the majestic glory of heartbreaking robotic 'Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluator' love…creating visually mesmerizing worlds with spectacular sound effects that need a crystal clear cinema screen to be enjoyed…sensitive ears to be experienced…and a mind that can understand all the existential, philosophical, political and environmental messages hidden inside.
We just needed this apocalyptic experiment to open our eyes to the hell of technology we are living in and to guide our children to a better and smart way of invention…aiming to keep this planet alive.
I am sorry…but you need to watch WALL.E first to make this post comprehensible.
I just finished listening to the newest Coldplay album and I don’t have words to describe my feelings right now...I only can say 'celebrating 10 years Coldplay'…celebrating life…viva la vida oleah.
The Brian Eno Effect starts right from the first seconds of Coldplay's highly anticipated new album "Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends"…with ambient sounds that introduce you to a magical and mysterious world , followed by guitar playing in a catchy U2-y way…aiming to guide you to a new era of coldplaying… accompanied by drums and a male chorus singing oh oh oh and ends abruptly which honestly was a surprise for me…because during "Life in Technicolor" I was waiting for Chris to sing…however it is just an intro song people…an optimistic start.
The first 'real' song is "Cemeteries of London", a dark yet beautifully crafted piece of music that hunts you from the start with ghosts and demons…singing la la la la la weaayh…amazing guitar playing…Spanish mood…with a smooth weird piano finishing this adventurous journey…hey…the band are not afraid to experiment here…cool isn't it.
And then…a big surprise…clapping of hands…heavy beats…and-just because I'm losing…doesn't mean I am lost-this emphasizes the fact that the band wants to play it safe…simple…and easy…and "Lost!" is indeed a great song…I had to sing with you dude…I am really thrilled with this new experience…and the electric guitar was my hero…and so are you.
I remember Martin & Co once saying that you have to hear "42" before you die…I don't know if they are right…the song starts slowly with a normal piano melody and then it turns to an absolutely other direction…'you didn't get to heaven but you made it close'…and then to a third destination…hmmm wow…and then it turns again to the quiet start…a revolutionary new style and a unique composition of a track…it is a rollercoaster you should ride…I think this is going to be the critically acclaimed song in this album…but I don’t know why I did not like it that much…maybe it will grow with me after a while.
"Lovers in Japan/Reign of Love" is beautifully strange…transfers you to another place…and to another dimension…especially in the middle of the song when there is no one singing…just ambient territory and courageous instruments fighting.
Drunken violin…mellow atmosphere…Chris Martin singing with a very deep voice…and again a sexy violin playing for the first time an Arabic melody in a Coldplay album…wait a second…is this Coldplay…did they change their genre…you have to ask yourself this question after hearing "Yes".
"Viva la Vida" is for sure a winner…thanks for the vivid violin, the church-like environment and the electronic touches playing in the background.
"Violent Hill" stands strong on the credit side with its emotionally last minute piano and Martin's singing "I took my love down to Violent Hill…there we sat in the snow"…should I cry…yeah you should.
The energetic "Strawberry Swing" reminds me of Africa…I adore this song…bravo…with strings crawling behind my ears…so sweet...I had to scream and say…people…I am happy…this is a new day…a peaceful day...and I am searching for the perfect day…I want to go back to the days of Love & Peace…hippi…yippi…yeay.
After that comes one of my favorite songs "Death and All His Friends"…it starts so slowly…softly…sleepy…and after two minutes or so a heavy guitar wakes me up euphorically…and then the song turns to a totally unexpected direction…felt by the change of rhythm and tone…and the chilling chorus saying "no I don't wanna follow death and all his friends".
The lyrics are deeper and intriguing….religious we can say.
Even the hidden bonus acoustic tracks are superb…plus "Chinese Sleep Chant" and " The Escapist"…so what else can I say…yeah…and Chris vocals never sounded so great...and one last thing...bad news or not...but there is no Coldformula aka (Clocks/Speed of Sound anthem)
This album will surely be a hit…I don't know if this should be considered one of their best achievements to date...but this is NeoColdplay…and if this album was made by an unknown band…it will not do the same buzz Coldplay are doing around the world…and this is not what I am expecting…in the days to come.
When I have something good happening in my life…something that makes me happy…I don't know why I always expect to experience something horrible coming soon...right after it…something that will make me sad…it is not the matter of me being pessimistic…it is how I now understand the process of my life…and come on , it is logic isn't it…for example if you have your birthday one day…the next day you likely may fail in your exam…or if you did not fail you will probably have a fight with a dear friend…or any bad thing might happen to you
When I look at major events in my life…I see how I was happy when I graduated from high school…and then I was sad when my grandfather died…and then I met my ex girlfriend…and then I lost my ex girlfriend…and then I hated my college…and then I found my passion in directing independent films…and then I had a terrible car accident…and so on…and elhamdullellah for the time being I am feeling all right…I mean nothing really disastrous happened in my life from a long time ago…masha2allah…you know when you feel stability in your life…I mean you see your life going in a monotonous fashion…what happened yesterday happens today…but unfortunately I am living in fear now…though I know I should live the momentum of joy rather than wasting the good time in deep thinking…but maybe because I am anticipating something dramatic that will/is going to/may occur in my life soon…I can't fully taste happiness…you know…life is not a fairy tail…life is not a Cinderella story…she meets her prince and have kids and live happily forever after…when you look at the philosophy of life you will see that it begins with something beautiful…the birth of you…and ends with something terrible…the death of you…and guess all the things that are going to happen in betweenI was thinking about this issue while watching Iñárritu's
"21 Grams" with my dear friend F8 in the train…I will not talk about the movie because it is a fantastic movie with superb performances by Sean Penn, Naomi Watts and Benicio Del Toro...and has an important message that everyone should understand…but I somehow mediated in some images shown from time to time in the film that may seem unimportant to the viewer…maybe because this was my seventh time to watch this movie...and by the way I have to say that the editing style was not the usual way you see a movie…I mean you see random scenes…not put in a chronological or logical manner…the whole film is like a puzzle...you see a scene in the past…then one happening in the future…then one in the present…and so on…reminds me of "Memento" and "Run Lola Run"…and you get the full picture of the story at the endSo there was an image of birds flying at sunrise…and a scene showing an empty room that was a moment before filled with people partying…and a desert with a cloudy sky…and a scene of leaves falling from the sky at sunset that looks like the first scene of the birds flying but to the opposite direction…and an empty swimming pool in a rainy day…these images were shown at specific moments during the film…and they had symbolic meanings to me
Birds flying at sunrise is for me freedom, activity and joy in the beginning of life…and the empty room is for sure empty because when people finish the party they then go home…so it is the natural consequence of enjoying a part of your life…the party has to have an end…the self-satisfaction and the fulfillment of someone's dreams has an end when reaching his goals…and the desert with a cloudy sky is like the time I am living nowadays…the sun is shining…the weather is great…the landscape is beautiful…yet there are some clouds in the sky…and you don't know what is coming next…I am anticipating something...leaves falling from the tree at sunset is the dying process of any living being…it is sadness and grief…it is the change that has to occur in everyone's life…and finally the last scene in the movie which is an empty swimming pool…no water inside…it is like an empty body…a dead body…with no soul inside...and the rainy day is the hope…that we always try to believe in…the hope of a better tomorrow…the hope of the rain to fill the swimming pool with water
I recommend everyone to see this movie…not to know the cliché theme of 'hey dude…live your life to the fullest and enjoy every moment in it'…but to know that life is somehow a timeline of random chaotic events…they don’t have to have a meaning…but they sure have a motto…happiness comes after sadness…and sadness comes after happiness…and grief somehow overshadows joy...and we pass this around…to survive life and to understanding this paradox is a lot to cope with…and this is what I am trying to do right now
Yesterday while walking down the street I suddenly saw the moon literally falling from the sky.
My heart was in my mouth and I froze. At that moment I fully expected to hear a loud bang when I realized it was just the moon's reflection in a window of a distant building.
