Re: Random Thoughts
I wish I had more leisure time to read and learn from DW, but alas, Im too busy exhausting my negative karma as a social worker. In Beetlejuice (which I recently saw again) they made a joke that people who commit suicide become civil servants in the afterlife.

That movie has one of my all-time favorite lines:

My little town with no Dharma centers or anything just had a screening of the documentary "Walk with Me" at the local movie theater. Quite a nice film, I really enjoyed it.

"Fire Walk with Me" is more my kind of thing.

Re: Random Thoughts
Ashik Kerib (1988)
The last film from Sergei Parajanov, dedicated to his late friend, Andrei Tarkovsky.
A poor Azerbaijani bard's wedding proposal is rejected by the prospective bride's wealthy father for having no offering to give in exchange. The girl vows to wait for the bard for one thousand days and nights so enough wealth may be earned to appease the father.
The least surreal of the three Parajanov films I have seen, yet it still maintains his distinctive post-Soviet Realism era's aesthetic flair. I would rank it behind Pomegranates, and above Suram Fortress. Recommended.

How does it keep a post-Soviet realism era aesthetic flair? Looks quite surreal to me. must check it out.Losal Samten wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 12:31 am Ashik Kerib (1988)

Re: Random Thoughts
I meant despite the lack of surrealism compared to his other films after his ditching of his earlier Soviet Realism style, what with it having a more comprehensible narrative, it still has his later avante-garde visual style.TharpaChodron wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 2:35 amHow does it keep a post-Soviet realism era aesthetic flair?

Personally I would jump in the deep end with his masterwork The Colour of Pomegranates instead of ramping up to it; that way it'll have a bigger effect.

Re: Random Thoughts
Okay. Whatever.
I realize now, for understanding this joke one has to know these kids... How they enjoy to write something naughty and how they hate fish & onion.
So, it's not possible to translate anyhow.
.... edit: Now I see. The meaning is: "The one who reads this smells like fish & onion."
