Seeking a friend for the end of the world

closer

that's the idea.

και ο κόσμος έλεγε 
"ω..δεν είναι όμορφη καθόλου"
και την πήραν απ' το όμορφο σπίτι
και την πήγαν στο δρόμο.
και το έσκασε και ποτέ δεν επέστρεψε.
και σύντομα, ο κόσμος άρχισε να πεινάει πάλι
και ξαναπήγαν στο όμορφο σπίτι
ψάχνοντας για χρυσό.
όμως δεν ήταν κανείς εκεί.

μπήκα στη θέση της, για τόσο λίγο όπως κάνω πάντα, ξέρεις
ρε θα ήταν καλό φινάλε. δυνατό. και σκληρό.
αντάξιό μας.

σαν να με ειρωνεύεσαι ένα πράγμα

Girl, interrupted

-Did they find Lisa?

No.

-I couIdn't stand up to her.

A decent person wouId

have done something. 

Shut her up. 

Gone upstairs.  

TaIked to Daisy.

MeIvin said you went upstairs.

-Too Iate.

What wouId you have said to her?

-I don't know.               

That I was sorry.                  

That I'II never know what

it was Iike to be her.                       

But I know what it's Iike

to wanna die.                 

How it hurts to smiIe.                     

How you try to fit in,

but you can't.                  

How you hurt yourseIf

on the outside...                 

...to try to kiII the thing

on the inside.

Have you ever confused

a dream with life?                   

Or stolen something

when you have the cash?                   

Have you ever been blue?                   

Or thought your train moving

while sitting still?                   

Maybe l was just crazy.                   

Maybe it was the ’70 s.

Or maybe l was just a girl...

A Beautiful Mind

 -He 's lost his ability to tell the difference between what is real and what is imagined.

 -The men? The ones he thinks are following him?

-Schizophrenics are often paranoid. They see conspiracies everywhere.

                            

                                                      .......................

 

This, right now, is the final nightmare of schizophrenia. The horror of not knowing what is true, what is real and what isn't.

Imagine if you suddenly learned that the people, the places, the moments most important to you were not gone, not dead, no, worse, had never deen.. What kind of hell would that be?

"I have always believed in numbers.In the equations and logics that leads to reason. I was wrong. It is only in the mysterious equations of love that any logic or reason can be found. Perhaps it is good to have a beautiful mind.. But a better gift is to discover a beautiful heart.."

Mary & Max

Μία ασυνήθιστη, τόσο σκοτεινή όσο και γλυκιά ιστορία. "'Ένας ύμνος στη διαφορετικότητα, στη φιλία και στην πραγματική αγάπη". Ξεχειλίζει από λεπτό, πικρόχολο χιούμορ αλλά και από ειλικρινή συναισθήματα.. Η ξεχωριστή σχέση της Mary και του  Max, σίγουρα μας ταξιδεύει σε μια εποχή με σπάνια ανθρωπιά και αδελφική αφοσίωση. Βασισμένο σε πραγματικά γεγονότα, είναι ένα "παραμύθι" για όχι και τόσο μικρά παιδιά.

"Ο Θεός μας έδωσε συγγενείς. Ευτυχώς εμείς μπορούμε να επιλέγουμε φίλους."

Requiem For A Dream

-Hey Ma..You're on diet pills, ain't you?

-I told you.I'm going to a specialist.

-That's what I thought!You're on speed, ain't ya?

-Harry, I'm goin' to a doctor.

-Does he give you pills?

-Of course. He's a doctor..

-What kind of pills?

-A purple, a blue, an orange...

-I mean, like what's in 'em?

-Oh, Harry, I'm Sara Goldfarb, not Albert Einstein. How should I know?

-Does it make you feel good and give you pep?

-Well... yeah, a little...

-Ma, I can hear ya grinding your teeth.

-That goes away at night.

-At night?

-Yeah, when I take the green one.In some minutes  I'm asleep. Poof.

-Ma, Ma, ya gotta cut that stuff loose. I'm tellin' ya, it's no good.

-What do you mean it's no good? lbs I've lost.

-So what? You wanna be a dope fiend?

-Dope fiend? Am I foaming at the mouth? He's a nice doctor.

-I am telling you, he's no good.

-How come you know so much? How come you know more than a doctor?

-Believe me, Ma, I know. All right? You'll get strung out.

-Ah, come on!I almost fit in my red dress.The one I wore to your high school graduation.

The one your father liked so much. oh, I remember how he looked at me in that red dress.

-Ma, what's the big deal about the red dress?

-I'm going to wear it at.. You don't know!I'm gonna be on television.I got a call and an application...

-Come on, Ma, who's pulling your leg?

-No, no, no. I'm tellin' ya. I'm gonna be a contestant on television. They haven't told me when yet,

but you'll be proud when you see your mother in her red dress on TV.

-What is the big deal?. Those pills will kill you before you get on.

-"Big deal?. " I'm somebody now, Harry. Everybody likes me.Soon...millions of people will see me 

and they'll all like me.I'll tell them about you...and your father. How good he was to us.

Remember?It's a reason to get up in the morning. It's a reason to lose weight, to fit in the red dress.

  It's a reason to smile.It makes tomorrow all right..

What have I got, Harry?

-Hmm?

-Why should I even make the bed or wash the dishes? I do them, but why should I? I'm alone.

Your father's gone, you're gone. I got no one to...care for. What have I got, Harry?

I 'm lonely. I'm old. 

-You got friends, Ma.                    

-It's not the same. They don't need me.I like the way I feel..I like thinking about the red dress...

and the television and you and your father.

 Now when I get the sun, I smile.

persepolis

 'Ηθελα να γίνω η δικαιοσύνη, η αγάπη και η οργή του θεού, όλα σε ένα.

--Αύριο θα γίνει διαδήλωση

--Μαμά, μπαμπά! Θέλω να έρθω και γω μαζί σας αύριο!

--Πού?

--Να διαδηλώσω στο δρόμο!

--Είναι πολύ επικίνδυνο.Πυροβολούν ανθρώπους!

--Μα για να πετύχει μια επανάσταση πρέπει να την υποστηρίξει όλος ο λαός.

--Μπορείς να πάρεις μέρος αργότερα.                    --Ναι!Καλά!Όταν θα χει τελειώσει.Σας  παρακαλώ.

--Στο κρεβάτι σου αμέσως τώρα.

--Μα..

Κάθε βράδυ συζητούσα επί μακρόν με το θεό.

--Θεέ!Μα που είσαι επιτέλους?

Εκείνη, όμως, τη νύχτα δεν ήρθε...

--Εσύ, σταμάτα!

Ήταν το γυναικείο τμήμα των φρουρών της επανάστασης.Η δουλειά τους ήταν να μας επαναφέρουν στον ίσιο δρόμο.

--Γιατί φοράς παπούτσια πανκ?Δε ντρέπεσαι να φοράς τόσο στενό τζιν? Φόρα σωστά τη μαντίλα σου, πουτανάκι!

          

--Από τότε που επικράτησε η ισλαμική επανάσταση, δεν έχουμε πια πολιτικούς κρατούμενους!

--Κυρία!Πώς τολμάτε να μας λέτε τέτοια ψέματα?

--Σατράπι!ΑΠΟΒΑΛΛΕΣΑΙ!

--Σήμερα πήγα και βρήκα τη διευθύντρια.Με διαβεβαίωσε ότι δεν σου έκανε αναφορά αυτή τη φορά, αλλά λαμβάνοντας υπ'όψιν το χαρακτήρα σου, σκεφτήκαμε ότι θα ήταν καλύτερα να έφευγες από τη χώρα.

--Τι?

                        ...

--Μην ξεχάσεις ποτέ ποια είσαι!

--Όχι, δεν θα το ξεχάσω ποτέ...

Καμιά κραυγή στον κόσμο δεν μπορούσε να απαλύνει τον πόνο και την οργή μου.

    I didn't fit in with most kids at schools.

  They thought I was strange, so they made me feel like a stranger.

 

Hemingway has his classic moment in "The Sun Also Rises"
  when someone asks Mike Campbell how he went bankrupt. All he can
  say is, "Gradually, then suddenly." Thats how depression hits. You
  wake up one morning, afraid that youre gonna live.
