<p>O cão</p>
<p>&#8220;– Então você acredita mesmo que isso que seu pai anuncia é a Verdade? – perguntei.<br />
– É a Verdade – respondeu-me a moça. – Sempre soube que era a Verdade. E foi por isso que o acompanhei neste porão e agora moro aqui com ele. Mas o que eu não sabia era que o cão também viria quando se anunciasse a Verdade.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;– Você tem que matar o cão – disse ela, ainda no limiar de minha porta, sem poder respirar e com os cabelos soltos, olhos muito arregalados, tão fantasmagórica era sua aparência que não ousei tocá-la.<br />
– Eu sabia que você ainda iria me pedir isso &#8211; respondi-lhe – e por isso comprei uma arma. Quando deve ser?<br />
– Já – respondeu baixinho a moça.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Quando saltei para o porão e abri a porta com um pontapé, vi a sombra gigantesca do terrível animal fugir pela janela, quebrando as vidraças, enquanto no chão, uma massa esbranquiçada numa poça negra, estava o homem, deitado, tão dilacerado pelo cão que se tornara irreconhecível.&#8221;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Om jag någon gång skall sätta ihop en <em>Läslista för F-teknolog</em> så har jag två goda skäl att ta med Friedrich Dürrenmatts pjäs <em>Die Physiker</em> på listan. Den första torde vara för tyskkunniga personer uppenbart: den handlar om fysiker. Den andra är att det skulle nästintill garantera att ingen F-teknolog någonsin skulle klara att läsa alla böcker på listan, då Dürrenmatt för de flesta torde vara en okänd storhet och pjäsen inte finns utgiven på svenska.</p>
<p>Nåväl, pjäsen handlar alltså om fysiker, närmare kvantifierat tre stycken, alla inlåsta på sinnessjukhus: en för att han tror att han är Newton, en för att han tror han är Einstein, och Johann Wilhelm Möbius (icke att förväxla med <a href="http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_Ferdinand_M%C3%B6bius">August Ferdinand Möbius</a>) som tror han talar med Salomo. Vid pjäsens början har två av dem tagit livet av sina sköterskor, varefter saker börjar hända. Det framgår snart att även om alla tre verkligen är fysiker, så är det Möbius som är den mest briljante av dem – briljant nog att ha arbetat på en Teori om Allt –, och även den ende som fortsatt arbeta även efter galenskapen.</p>
<p>Det märks att pjäsen tillkommit under kalla kriget: både kriget självt och konsekvenserna av fysikens upptäckter kommer in i handlingen. Det vore dock synd att avslöja alltför mycket av den, då den sannerligen bjuder på många svängar och förändringar. Den sägs vara en komedi, men den bär allvarliga budskap: fysiker må ha ett stort ansvar för sina upptäckter, men det gäller också det samhälle som får ta del av dem, och det går inte att ta tillbaka tankar. Det som är tänkbart kommer tänkas, och människan kan inte fly.</p>
<p>Tyskan var måhända en aning knepigare än jag egentligen klarade av, men eftersom boken var så tunn klarades den ändå av på en dag (den finns även översatt till engelska). För den som är fysiker, eller är det minsta intresserad och oroad över de krafter människan släppt lös, rekommenderas den starkt.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-454" title="star3" src="http://successdiva.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/star3.jpg" alt="star3" width="333" height="500" /></p>
<p> Life has a way of being all about peaks and valleys, doesn&#8217;t it? There are days when you really don&#8217;t feel like getting out of bed. . .and other days when you awaken and seem to see the sun peeking out from behind the clouds, even though it&#8217;s raining. How do I know this? Well, I&#8217;m much more like you than you might think. This diva is certainly not always on top of the world. Indeed, there are moments when writing one of my incomparable Success Diva updates actually seems like an overwhelming task. And I use the word &#8216;task&#8217; to illustrate a point: when I am having what I would call a day of joy, sharing my thoughts and ideas with all of you is something I look forward to. However, on days when I am tired or in pain or simply feeling disheartened, it&#8217;s not always easy for me to inspire or uplift those around me, even though I care about each and every one of you so very much. But you know what? I think we have to look at life the way a theatre actress or actor looks upon going onstage every night. Am I making sense? Well, let me elaborate. I was once a stage actress, and I remember well those nights when having to face a live audience was almost more than I could bear. It wasn&#8217;t that I didn&#8217;t love to act or that I didn&#8217;t feel I was adequately prepared. It was usually that I hadn&#8217;t slept well. . .or that there were other things going on in my life that were making me miserable. .  .or, well, you get the idea by now, don&#8217;t you? The situation is, generally speaking, the thing that was making me feel apprehensive about going onstage usually didn&#8217;t have anything to do with the play itself or my performance in it. I remember once when I nearly forgot my lines during a performance of Friedrich Durrenmatt&#8217;s play, <em>The Physicists. </em>Was it because I don&#8217;t have a good memory? No, I have an excellent memory. Was it because I hadn&#8217;t rehearsed often enough? Indeed not. It was because I had insomnia the night before and had gotten two or three hours of sleep. Well, guess what? That just happened to be the very night that an important theatre director came to see the show. Things have a way of being like that in life, don&#8217;t they? It&#8217;s rather like meeting a beautiful woman or a handsome man at the grocery store when you know you aren&#8217;t looking your best. You&#8217;d really like to run and hide in the bathroom or around the corner, but you know that if you do you&#8217;ll miss the chance of meeting someone whom you might be interested in. So, what do you do? Do you take a chance? Of course, you do. Why? Because even though a lot of things in your life haven&#8217;t turned out the way you wanted them to, you know that only in not trying will you ever truly fail. Success in any area of your life isn&#8217;t something that will ever happen overnight. Rather, it is a result of the choices <em>you </em>make on a daily basis. The success expert and author, Dennis Waitley, said something that I have posted by my computer: <em>&#8220;Real success comes in small portions day by day.&#8221; </em>And you know what? He&#8217;s right. Of course, I&#8217;m perfectly willing to admit that Dennis Waitley knows a lot more about success than I do. He&#8217;s been studying success for a few decades, whereas. . .well, I&#8217;m a bit of a novice, really. However, I do continually study success, along with other subjects that I wish to master. Since you&#8217;re smart, I know that you already realize that the only way to ever get good at <em>anything </em>is to study it. Did you manage to ride a bicycle smoothly the first time you tried? I doubt it. To this day, I am not very adept at riding a bicycle. Know why? Well, it&#8217;s mostly because my father became very impatient with me growing up, and, rather than understanding that learning to ride a bicycle would take time, he thought I should be able to ride one beautifully within a matter of minutes. Well, that isn&#8217;t how life works. Is that fair? Actually, I think it is. I believe that the patience a person must acquire in order to master something&#8212;even something as simple as riding a bicycle&#8212;enables him/her to weather the storms that life sends his/her way. If everything we ever wanted was handed to us on a platter made out of platinum and encrusted with diamonds without us having to do anything to get it, what would that teach us? Do you think we would really be happy? Admittedly, there are times when you are tempted to say &#8220;Well, sure, I&#8217;d be happy.&#8221; I&#8217;ve felt that way, too. So, you&#8217;re not alone. At the same time, there is a feeling of sincere and deep accomplishment when we achieve something that we&#8217;ve really had to work for. When that which we want is something we have had to earn, it makes us value it a lot more. This is why we must have confidence in ourselves that we can accomplish our goals and that we can make our dreams into a reality.</p>
<p>Look, I am here to offer you my insight and my support, but you know what? You&#8217;re the <em>star </em>in your own show. If William Shakespeare is right (and why shouldn&#8217;t he have been?) and life is a stage and all the people in it are actors, who is going to be playing the lead in your show?? If you don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s you, then you need to stop and evaluate the way you&#8217;re seeing your life. In order to make <em>your </em>dreams come true, <em>you </em>have to be the one starring in <em>your</em> production. You may have a magnificent spouse or boyfriend/girlfriend, loving and encouraging friends, and a family who truly does want to see you succeed, but none of those people should be <em>the star </em>in <em>your </em>show. Nope, <em><strong>you</strong> </em>are the star. You and nobody but you. As I said in my very first post at this blog, it&#8217;s all about YOU. Now, what did I mean by &#8220;it?&#8221; It means life. . .specifically, <em>your </em>life. So, I could easily have mentioned the concept of your being the star of your show at that point. However, I only thought of it now. You see what I mean when I confess that this diva doesn&#8217;t plan her posts far in advance?? I am completely spontaneous, which is something that has gotten me into my share of difficulties before, I assure you! *wink* But I think it&#8217;s far better to be spontaneous than to plan things too much. There&#8217;s nothing wrong with having one year, five year, and even lifetime goals. . .but, on a daily basis, you have to allow yourself room to do something impulsive, whether it&#8217;s deciding to go out to lunch with a friend or shop in some vintage clothing stores like my good friend, Diana. This doesn&#8217;t mean that you engage in such activities at the expense of the things that you absolutely <em>must </em>do. However, it is important to be at least reasonably flexible.</p>
<p>Another friend of mine, Sarah, is constantly finding that she gets so caught up in the things that <em>have </em>to be done that she doesn&#8217;t have enough time just for her. What comes into play here&#8212;and it&#8217;s very helpful, by the way&#8212;is making a list (at least a mental list, although writing it down is even better, in this particular instance) of the things that are <em>urgent </em>and the things that are <em>important. </em>Often that which seems urgent isn&#8217;t really urgent at all. For example, it might seem to be urgent that you make your husband&#8217;s favorite dish for dinner, but is it important? I sometimes find myself writing e-mails or making phone calls that I could have put off or doing other things that I have allowed the urgency of the moment to lead me into succumbing to. The most important things are usually those things that involve spending time with someone instead of doing something for them. In other words, if you have a friend who has a birthday tomorrow and you haven&#8217;t yet gotten him/her a present, and you already have so much on your to-do list that day that you don&#8217;t know how you&#8217;re going to fit in anything more, decide whether or not it might not be better to buy a card (or use one you already have around the house), and tell your friend that you&#8217;ll be giving them a present, but you haven&#8217;t yet been able to decide on just the right thing. &#8220;But I couldn&#8217;t do that!,&#8221; you exclaim. &#8220;It would seem as if his/her birthday wasn&#8217;t important to me.&#8221; Whoa. Hold on. If you&#8217;re putting your friend&#8217;s needs before <em>yours</em>, who is the one who is in charge of your life? Is it your friend or <em>you</em>? &#8220;But I have to be thoughtful,&#8221; you say, &#8220;and besides, he/she gave me such a beautiful sweater for my birthday. I have to give more than a card!!&#8221; Of course, you have to give more than a card. And you know what? You will. But who is the star of your life? Is it your friend or is it you? And if this friend is worthy of a lovely present, than he/she would surely care about  you enough that he/she wouldn&#8217;t want you to stress yourself out over his/her birthday. Am I not right? Father&#8217;s Day came around this year, and I hadn&#8217;t yet purchased a present for my father. Now he and I aren&#8217;t very close, to be honest. Indeed, we have had periods of estrangement between us that have lasted for. . .well, a few years. However, we are on good terms again, and I was certainly committed to remembering him on Father&#8217;s Day. I was simply very late about ordering his present, and I realized the week before Father&#8217;s Day that there was no way I could count on the fact that the book I wanted to get him from Amazon would reach him on time. So, I sent him a $4 Father&#8217;s Day card and told him that a special present would be on its way. As you see, there is a way to solve these issues when they come up. Similarly, I have arrived home from grocery shopping at ten o&#8217;clock in the evening before and have wanted to prepare a somewhat elaborate dinner. To me, it seemed <em>urgent </em>that I prepare my special roasted potatoes before the potatoes started to spoil. But what was more important? Preparing the dinner of my desires or making sure I got to bed before I was so tired that I could barely stand up? I&#8217;m sure you know the answer to that. Phone calls and e-mails are two areas of your life that you need to use the urgent vs. important tactic with. Make sure that the people whom you are calling and/or writing must be written or called on that <em>specific </em>day. If a call or e-mail can be postponed, do it. And don&#8217;t spend time sending short e-mails or making short phone calls saying that you&#8217;ll &#8220;write more later&#8221;. I used to do this sort of thing all the time, and, while it is sometimes essential, more often than not, you&#8217;ll notice that you end up writing or talking almost as much as you would have if you had <em>fully </em>committed yourself to the task. Remember: <em>you must be the star of your own show.</em> Everyone else in your life is a supporting player. The person who is closest to you&#8212;whether it be a spouse, boyfriend/girlfriend or parent/close relative&#8212;should be looked upon as a co-star. But <em>you </em>are the person who receives top billing. When you think of a film with a big-name star such as Julia Roberts or Tom Cruise, don&#8217;t you often find yourself associating their name with the film&#8217;s title? For example, haven&#8217;t you ever found yourself saying that you&#8217;re going to the theatre to see &#8220;the new Johnny Depp movie&#8221; or &#8220;the latest Michelle Pfeiffer flick.&#8221; I know I have. . .although I rarely go to movie theaters these days. However, when I order a film from the library, for example (and they have the latest releases, by the way, which is something you should know now that video rentals are so expensive), I find myself looking up films I might want to see via a specific star&#8217;s name. If I want to see a film starring Angelina Jolie, I don&#8217;t put the name of one of her co-stars in the library search engine. Am I making a point?? And I don&#8217;t think most of us even remember the other ladies who made up the singing group, &#8220;The Supremes&#8221;. Who do we remember? Why Diana Ross, of course. Why? Because she was the <em>star. </em>It was her show and she knew it.</p>
<p>And that&#8217;s what you must know, too. <em>You </em>are the star. Don&#8217;t decide that you have to find the &#8216;ideal&#8217; supporting cast in order to make your production a hit. You don&#8217;t even have to have a co-star. When you&#8217;re a true star, <em><strong>you</strong></em> can carry the show all by yourself with very little assistance. But are you ready to take on the role of <em>superstar? </em>Are <em>you</em> ready to step onto the stage and take the world by storm?? If not, why not? If you&#8217;re afraid, then use that fear as energy to make your show a true success. <em>You</em> can do it, you know. <em>You</em> know <em>you</em> can. And I know that deep within yourself, no matter what you think, <em>you</em> are fully capable of being the star in <em>your</em> production.</p>
<p>For now, remember that to be content to merely fly when you can soar is not enough. So, make the most of every day. . .and cherish every minute.</p>
<p>Until soon,</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">2001: <em><strong>The Pledge</strong></em> di Sean Penn</span></p>
<p>Analizzando il film, <a href="http://www.mymovies.it/dizionario/critica.asp?id=9354" target="_blank">‘Ciak’</a> sottolinea come questo lavoro sia la prova che il “senso di mistero, di fatalità cieca e crudele che governa le imprese degli uomini&#8230; può trovare sullo schermo la stessa intensità espressa dall’opera letteraria” e giustamente <a href="http://www.mymovies.it/dizionario/critica.asp?id=10171" target="_blank">‘Il Sole-24 Ore’ </a>parla di “genialità narrativa” del regista e degli sceneggiatori.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.mymovies.it/filmclub/2006/11/089/locandina.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1516" title="la-promessa" src="http://cinemaleo.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/la-promessa.gif" alt="la-promessa" width="116" height="136" /></a> <a href="http://cinemaleo.wordpress.com/giudiziocritico/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img34.glitterfy.com/153/glitterfy102056481D33.gif" border="0" alt="Glitter Photos" /></a><br />
<a href="http://www.glitterfy.com/"></a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><!--more--></p>
<p>Grande, grandissimo <strong>Jack Nicholson</strong> in un film che è un gioiello da molti punti di vista. Un’ottima trama (dal romanzo del 1958 di Friedrich Durrenmatt), una cornice perfetta (un suggestivo e inquietante Nevada ricolmo di neve), una regia sensibilissima (di un <strong>Sean Penn</strong> in stato di grazia), un ritmo calmo-lento-pensoso e controtendenza che ti fa seguire il tutto con partecipazione e massimo coinvolgimento, la presenza di uno stuolo di grandi attori al meglio delle loro possibilità (Vanessa Redgrave e Mickey Rourke benché in brevi apparizioni sono superlativi, ma ci sono anche Robin Wright Penn, Helen Mirren, Benicio Del Toro, Sam Shepard, Aaron Echart).</p>
<p>Non è importante <em><a href="http://pantaleo.altervista.org/articoli/page2.html" target="_blank">il giallo</a></em>, il <em>chi è l’assassino</em>… o il chiedersi fino a che punto può arrivare la sete di giustizia prima di diventare a sua volta ingiustizia. E al regista non interessa tanto denunciare la superficialità del potere, la violenza che domina l’attuale società, i soprusi verso le minoranze (denunce che comunque sono evidenti).</p>
<p>La cosa veramente importante in <em><strong>La Promessa</strong></em> è l’ossessione dell’investigatore.<br />
Tutto il film gira su di lui, sulla sua follia ossessiva, sulla sua progressiva degradazione. E <strong>Jack Nicholson</strong> dà di questo “antieroe” una interpretazione che resterà nella storia del cinema e che ogni buon cinefilo non può fare a meno di vedere e ammirare.</p>

<span style="text-decoration:underline;">Trama</span>:<br />
Jerry Black è un ispettore della polizia del Nevada. Proprio nel corso della festa del suo pensionamento arriva la notizia del ritrovamento del cadavere di una bambina bionda di soli otto anni: rapita, violentata, uccisa e lasciata senza vita tra le montagne. Il vecchio ispettore informa i genitori della piccola vittima e giura alla madre che catturerà l&#8217;assassino: una promessa che finirà per segnare il suo destino.<br />
<span style="text-decoration:underline;">Note</span>:<br />
Presentando il film a Cannes nell‘edizione del 2001, Sean Penn dichiarò: «Friedrich Durrenmatt non è un giallista, ma un profondo filosofo della condizione umana. Il mio non è un film d’azione all’americana, ma una riflessione vicina all’introspezione europea sulla impossibilità della giustizia, sul male di vivere nel quale possiamo sprofondare cercando la verità&#8230;».</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><em>Scelgo questi aforismi di Durrenmatt da una raccolta di 55 dedicati ad &#8220;Arte e realtà&#8221; (potete leggerla integralmente <a href="http://www.scrivi.com/pubblicazioni.asp?id_pub=296462">qui</a>). A chi sta seguendo questo mio ultimo percorso non servono commenti: la scelta è determinata soprattutto dall&#8217;attenzione al &#8220;tragico&#8221;, e alla &#8220;distanza&#8221; che ne rende possibile insieme la rappresentazione e l&#8217;effetto catartico. A sua volta la distanza è resa possibile dalla &#8220;maschera&#8221;, cioè dalla consapevolezza umoristica della finitezza dell&#8217;opera stessa. Non trovo migliore illustrazione di questo principio che &#8220;Il gran teatro del mondo&#8221;, opera del drammaturgo spagnolo Pedro Calderon De La Barca (XVII secolo) che in effetti dà il titolo a queste mie riflessioni. </em></p>

<description><![CDATA[Centering the Hyenas around the return of Linguere Ramatou, a woman &#8220;richer than the world ban]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div>
<p>Centering the <em>Hyenas</em> around the return of Linguere Ramatou, a woman &#8220;richer than the world bank&#8221; to her hometown on Colobane where the poverty seems nearly inescapable for everyone else and her mission to ruin a man who wronged her in the past, Djibril Diop Mambity seems to be making larger comments on the economic state of present day Africa.  This is best represented in his representation of the townspeople&#8217;s willingness to ostracize a man because they become enamoured with the new shoes, refrigerators, and air conditioners that she gifts them.   </p>
<p>This theme runs throughout the entire film, but there is something particularly striking and almost heavy handed about the last few scenes.  The last scene begins with the image of a bulldozer moving slowly through the sand and then ends on a wide shot of a baobab tree in the distance with the tracks of the bulldozer scarring the land in front of it.  This scene can certainly be read as the modern interfering with the past and the rest of the world interfering with (or even corrupting?) Africa.</p>
<p> <img class="size-medium wp-image-346 alignnone" title="picture-2" src="http://screeningafrica1.wordpress.com/files/2009/04/picture-2.png?w=300" alt="picture-2" width="219" height="143" /><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-345" title="picture-1" src="http://screeningafrica1.wordpress.com/files/2009/04/picture-1.png?w=300" alt="picture-1" width="219" height="144" /></p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>When I learned that this tree was in fact a Baobab from <a href="http://www.newsreel.org/nav/title.asp?tc=CN0045">this review of the film</a>, I immediately made the connection to Antoine de Saint-Exupery&#8217;s <em>The Little Prince</em>.  The Little Prince describes his home planet but notes that he is plagued by the Baobab trees that threaten to overtake it. </p>
<blockquote><p>Now there were terrible seeds on the planet that was the home of the little prince; and these were the seeds of the baobab. The soil of that planet was infested with them. A baobab is something you will never, never be able to get rid of if you attend to it too late. It spreads over the entire planet. It bores clear through it with its roots. And if the planet is too small, and the baobabas are too many, they split it in pieces.</p></blockquote>
<p>Is it possible that there is even greater meaning in that last scene of <em>Hyenas?  </em> Certainly the bulldozer represents the disasterous effects of consumerism, but is it possible that the Baobab represents not only the Africa that is being exploited but the possibility that there is something in this history that needs to be carefully watched and maintained before self-destruction occurs?  Because the film is an adaptation of Friedrich Durrenmatt&#8217;s <em>The Visit of the Old Woman</em>, I do not think that it is out of the realm of possiblities that Mambety could have this reading of the Baobab tree in mind but I do understand that it is a little bit of a stretch.  </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-618 aligncenter" title="durenmatt_justitie" src="http://meerchant.wordpress.com/files/2009/01/durenmatt_justitie.jpg?w=61" alt="durenmatt_justitie" width="61" height="96" /></p>
<p>I tried to stave off my natural instinct to go for the English-written books. Sometimes I think I&#8217;m a little too munch on an one way road, but then again &#8211; if that&#8217;s what I love, why should I feel bad about it? <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Anyways, Friedrich Dürrenmatt&#8217;s short novel<em> Justiz </em>was pretty great &#8211; sort of like the thrillers where you know the ending, but you&#8217;re still dieing to see how they&#8217;ll get there (umm&#8230;<em>Zodiac</em> anyone?). Besides &#8211; this is my first Swiss author (that is, if we don&#8217;t count <em>Heidi.</em> Do we? <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  ). And I&#8217;m writing this down because, until 5 min ago, I didn&#8217;t even know he&#8217;s Swiss. I&#8217;m not sure it makes much of a difference &#8211; it&#8217;s just that Swiss authors seem so rare; I guess not much drama can come out of such a peaceful land.</p>
<p><em>Justiz</em> also takes place in Switzerland and has, at the center, a young lawyer trying to make his way &#8211; unsuccessfully, one might add &#8211; until he is called to the local prison by a very powerful, very rich businessman detained for murder. While the crime was committed in broad daylight, in a full restaurant and the guilty party was established beyond any doubt, Isaak Koehler (that&#8217;s out businessman) wants the lawyer to delve into the realm of possibility and find another murderer. Therefore, the question is never &#8220;who&#8217;s done it?&#8221; but &#8220;Who else could have done it?&#8221;. What at first seems like a purely intellectual exercise, will have very concrete consequences, revealing that it was all a game, artfully mastered from the start by one puppeteer. Quite an engaging read, really. And I liked the play on the whole idea of doubting everything we know.</p>
<p>But now I&#8217;m back to my old habits &#8211; and I&#8217;m slowly reading David Mitchell&#8217;s <em>Cloud Atlas</em>. Slowly not because it&#8217;s a bad book &#8211; in fact, it&#8217;s pretty engrossing &#8211; but slowly because I never seem to find much time for reading these days <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  And in a couple of weeks I&#8217;ll have exams, so I&#8217;ll have to waste my reading time on school material. But if I pass this round &#8211; only 2 semesters to go! <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I almost forgot &#8211; <em>Justiz</em> can also be enjoyed in <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107296/" target="_blank">movie</a> form <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  (like most books these days it seems&#8230;)</p>

<description><![CDATA[La novela del escritor suizo Friedrich Dürre nmatt (1921-1990) La promesa (Das Versprechen, 1957) ha]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-149" title="pub_cebo11" src="http://cosasquehemosvisto.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/pub_cebo11.jpg" alt="pub_cebo11" width="190" height="286" />La novela del escritor suizo Friedrich Dürre nmatt (1921-1990) <strong>La promesa</strong> (Das Versprechen, 1957) ha sido llevada al cine, que yo conozca, en dos ocasiones, demostrando lo distintas que pueden ser dos adaptaciones a partir de un mismo material, dependiendo del valor que se le dé a cada aspecto del relato.</p>
<p>        Un excomandante de la policía suiza le explica a un escritor de novelas policíacas la historia de un crimen y de una obsesión: el asesinato de una niña en el bosque, el arresto del principal sospechoso, que acabará suicidandose tras confesarse culpable, la promesa hecha por el inspector Matthäi a la madre de la niña y su conviccción de que el asesino aún anda suelto, lo que le llevará a seguir investigando por su cuenta. El excomandante, antes de relatar el final de la historia, invita al escritor a recrearla, pero sugiriéndole un final feliz: el culpable es atrapado, el inspector estaba en lo cierto.</p>
<p>       <img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-164" title="2561-el_juramento" src="http://cosasquehemosvisto.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2561-el_juramento.jpg" alt="2561-el_juramento" width="188" height="254" /> <strong>El cebo </strong>(Es geschah am hellichten Tag, 1958), coproducción hispano-suiza dirigida por Ladislao Vajda- autor de, entre otras<strong>, Marcelino, pan y vino</strong> (1954)-, es una gran película policíaca, uno de los mejores ejemplos del género dentro de nuestro cine, pero adapta sólo la investigación policial, la búsqueda del criminal, dejando de lado la evolución psicológica del inspector Matthäi. El propio Dürrenmatt se hizo cargo del guión y, curiosamente, su final es el propuesto al escritor en la novela, el final feliz y más típico.</p>
<p>        En <strong>El juramento </strong>(The pledge, 2001), el actor y director Sean Penn realiza una adaptación más fiel a la novela, narrando la investigación pero centrándose mucho más en el personaje del inspector y en su viaje hacia la locura. Su final será aún más trágico que en la novela: en ésta el excomandante descubre que las sospechas de Matthäi eran ciertas, pero cuando quiere comunicárselo ya es tarde, el inspector ha perdido la razón; en el film de Penn ninguno de los personajes conocerá la verdad de la historia- sólo nosotros, los espectadores, la sabremos-, y Matthäi (Jack Nicholson, su mejor interpretación en mucho tiempo) acabará loco, repudiado e incomprendido.</p>
<p>        <strong>El cebo </strong>es una exquisita rareza dentro de nuestro cine de los años cincuenta; <strong>El juramento</strong>, uno de los mejores films de la cinematografía norteamericana reciente: dos épocas del cine, adaptaciones muy distintas, miradas complementarias.</p>
<p>        <strong>El cebo </strong>está editada en DVD por Filmax.</p>
<p>        <strong>El juramento </strong>está editada en DVD por Warner.    </p>
<p>        La novela <strong>La promesa </strong>acaba de ser recuperada por Editorial Navona.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Das Streben nach Geld Güllen, ein altes, graues, heruntergekommenes Kaff, erhält hohen Besuch, putzt]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>Das Streben nach Geld</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-117" style="margin:10px;" title="besuch-der-alten-dame" src="http://studioli.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/besuch-der-alten-dame.jpg" alt="" width="246" height="146" />Güllen, ein altes, graues, heruntergekommenes Kaff, erhält hohen Besuch, putzt sich fein heraus und sammelt die Musiker des Ortes zusammen, um dem Gast ein Ständchen zu bringen. Die Milliardärin Claire Zachanassian (<a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christiane_H%C3%B6rbiger" target="_blank">Christiane Hörbiger</a>), einst Bewohnerin Güllens (früher noch Klara Wäscher), wird mit dem Regionalzug erwartet, landet jedoch, mondän wie es sich für eine Geschäftsfrau gehört, mit dem Hubschrauber und lässt sich von den Obersten der Stadt umgarnen. Bürgermeister, Pfarrer und Polizist schmeicheln der Alten nicht ohne Grund, der Stadt fehlt Geld, das heruntergefallene &#8220;H&#8221; am Rathaus spricht Bände, &#8220;Rat aus&#8221;, Güllen weiß nicht mehr weiter. Da macht die Zachanassian das unglaubliche Angebot, zwei Milliarden zu spenden, doch ihre Gegenleistung löst Empörung aus: Claire will Gerechtigkeit für das ihr damals durch Bewohner zugefügte Unrecht, Alfred Ill (<a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Mendl" target="_blank">Michael Mendl</a>), ehemaliger Geliebter der Dame, soll sterben&#8230;</p>
<p>Kommt auf der Bühne oft das Komische des Stücks mehr zum Tragen, konzentriert sich der Film auf das psychologische Spiel der Tragödie, die Fragen: Was ist Gerechtigkeit? Welchen Wert haben Freundschaft, Ehe und Vertrauen im Angesicht des Geldes? Die Güllener ringen mit ihrer Moral. Versichern sie Alfred anfangs noch ihre Loyalität, so schwindet nach und nach immer mehr die Hemmschwelle bis der Freund (<a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dietrich_Mattausch" target="_blank">Dietrich Mattausch</a>) Alfred bittet, sich zu töten, damit die Bewohner keinen Mord begehen müssen. Ist die Anstiftung zum Selbstmord nicht auch Mord? Und beging nicht Alfred schon Mord an der alten Klara, von der nun nichts mehr da ist, nur noch Claire?</p>
<p>Die Kamera zeigt in ruhigen, atmosphärischen Bildern das Angespannte der Situation, das Ungewisse, Unklare, Vage &#8211; Nebel, Schatten, Dämmerung. Michael Mendl verkörpert die Angst, das Verfolgtsein und die Flucht ohne Übertreibung, aber doch eindringlich. Brillant auch das minimalistische Spiel der Hörbiger, die Verletzlichkeit hinter der Kälte, das durch Demütigungen Erstarrte, die Rachegefühle der noch Liebenden gegenüber des Geliebten, das Zwiespältige der Gefühle und das Angewiderte gegenüber den niederen Instinkten der Menschen, die für Geld jegliche Moral und Ethik verlieren. Abscheu empfindet mit ihr nur der Kulturbeflissene (<a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolf_Hoppe" target="_blank">Rolf Hoppe</a>), der jedoch sein Grauen im Alkohol ertränkt und resigniert, statt gegenzusteuern &#8211; welch eine Metapher.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Die kleine Stadt Güllen ist dem Untergang geweiht! Doch da erscheint ein Wohltäter, der die Stadt mit einer gewaltigen Finanzspritze retten könnte. Was es die Stadt kosten würde? Ein Menschenleben.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Moment, habe ich da tatsächlich &#8220;Güllen&#8221; geschrieben. Der Handlungsort des berühmten Dramas <strong>Der Besuch der alten Dame</strong>, das vor 52 Jahren von Friedrich Dürrenmatt geschrieben wurde? Ja, das stimmt wohl, aber im Grunde ist <strong>Der Dämon und Fräulein Prym</strong> nichts anderes als eine Kopie des bekannten Konflikts: Wie viel ist ein Menschenleben wert?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Über den möglichen Vorwurf des Plagiarismus war sich Coehlo aber wohl bewusst. Der namenlose Wohltäter lässt sowas durchblicken:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8220;Ich bin nach Bescos gekommen, weil ich einen Plan habe. Vor langer Zeit hab ich ein Theaterstück eines Autors namens Dürrenmatt gesehen, den Sie gewiss kennen&#8230;&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Bescos, das ist der Handlungsort dieses Besuchs; ein Ort in den Pyrenäen, der nicht mehr lange bestehen wird, denn die Jugend flüchtet förmlich vom Land und sucht in den Städten des Landes ihr Glück. Die einzige junge Person ist Chantal Prym, die sich in dem örtlichen Hotel als Kellnerin verdingt und von einem Reisenden mit 11 Goldbarren in der Tasche als Sprechrohr zur Bevölkerung genutzt. Sein Angebot: Er wird den Bewohnern Bescos das Gold geben, wenn bis zu seiner Abreise irgendein Mensch des Dorfes ermordet wird. Ihm ist völlig egal welcher, ob jung, alt, behindert oder sterbenskrank. Hauptsache es gibt eine Leiche. Er will sich jedoch nicht &#8211; wie Claire Zachanassian &#8211; Gerechtigkeit kaufen, sondern sein Weltbild bestätigt sehen.<br />
Das ist maßgeblich durch den Mord an seiner Familie beeinflusst worden. Frau und Tochter wurden von Terroristen entführt und noch vor der Befreiungsaktion der Polizei hingerichtet. Entführt wurde gerade die Familie des Fremden, weil er ein Waffenhersteller war und  Terroristen mögen ja bekanntlich Waffen. Seitdem trägt er den namensgebenden Dämon in sich. Das klingt jetzt wirklich wilder als es ist, denn der Dämon symbolisiert nichts anderes als das Böse im Menschen. Das wird im Verlauf des Romans nicht nur bei dem Fremden auftreten.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Der Dämon und Fräulein Prym</strong> setzt einen Stoff in die aktuelle Zeit, der es eigentlich gar nicht nötig hat. Der Besuch der alten Dame wirkt auch heute noch alles andere als unmodern. Ich hatte bei einer Aufführung des Stücks im letzten Jahr zu keinem Zeitpunkt, das Gefühl, dass das Theaterstück schon eines halbes Jahrhundert alt ist. Aber Coelho belässt es nicht in einer Übertragung, sondern ändert es an interessanten Stellen. Denn den Dorfbewohnern fehlt jegliche rationale Rechtfertigung für einen Mord (ok, es gibt eigentlich keine rationale Rechtfertigung für einen Mord), weil das Opfer kein Ill ist, der früher ein armes Mädchen schwängerte und dies leugnete, sondern ein absolut Unschuldiger. Dadurch erhält <strong>Der Dämon</strong> eine eigene Faszination, die mit dem großen Vorbild mithalten kann und sich von ihr absetzt. Ein interessanter Roman über die Entscheidung zwischen Gut und Böse, der schon vor 50 Jahren interessant war und es auch noch in 500 sein wird.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Dans le cadre des hommages rendus au cinéaste sénégalais Djibril Diop Mambéty, pour commémorer les dix ans de sa disparition, son film </em>Hyènes<em> était projeté mardi soir place de l’Obélisque, à Colobane. Sur l’écran dressé, un chef d’oeuvre toujours d’actualité a ravi une quarantaine de spectateurs. </em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://parlotte.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/hyenes.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-274" src="http://parlotte.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/hyenes.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="203" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em></em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span> </span><strong>Un village qui cède son âme contre quelques milliards.</strong> C&#8217;est l&#8217;histoire de <em>Hyènes</em>, second film de Djibril Diop Mambéty, racontée avec poésie et talent il y a seize ans, et toujours aussi émouvante. </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span> </span>Linguère Ramatou a quitté Colobane, pauvre, enceinte et déshonorée ; elle y revient sur ses vieux jours après une vie de prostituée qui l&#8217;a faite milliardaire. Elle est prête à déverser sa fortune sur son village natal, mais demande en échange la mise à mort de celui qui fit jadis d&#8217;elle une « putain »</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span> </span><strong>Bien sûr tous les villageois refusent d’abord; bien sûr tous acceptent ensuite. </strong>Et les bas instincts humains prennent le dessus, ravageant l’âme de Colobane. Les effets néfastes de la cupidité n’épargnent ni les plus pauvres ni les notables. Pas même l’Eglise dont Mambéty souligne, à renfort de gros plans sur le lustre, les ventilateurs neufs, le poste de télévision, que les hommes sont tous égaux devant l’argent. </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span> </span><strong>Tout, dans </strong><em><strong>Hyènes</strong></em><strong>, est finesse.</strong> <!--more-->Lentement la caméra, en harmonie avec les héros vieillissants, parcourt les visages, le village, les paysages. Délicate, elle semble s’opposer à la cruauté du récit. C’est ainsi qu’elle s’attarde, avant que la riche Ramatou ne fasse sa violente proposition, sur les retrouvailles de l’ancienne prostituée avec Draman Drameh, celui qui la déshonora. Sur la musique de Wasis, frère du réalisateur, ils se promènent dans la campagne et Mambéty capte le mouvement du vent, la délicatesse des visages, la nostalgie d’un monde perdu. La lumière est d’une grande finesse, et toujours plus poignante dans les scènes en extérieur, près des animaux. Comme si le monde renversé, les animaux valaient plus que les hommes, que les habitants de Colobane transformés en hyènes ne pouvaient plus irradier. Comme si la noirceur des hommes se faisait jour à l’écran. </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span> </span><strong>La finesse est aussi celle du personnage de Ramatou.</strong> Port de reine, nez aquilin, regard fier, l’immense dame qui se dresse face à la morale n’a rien d’une prostituée. Ou peut-être justement tout de ces êtres qui ont su souffrir et en sortir grandis. L’actrice Ami Dikhate incarne là un rôle d’une splendeur rare et sa prestance suffirait sans doute à faire du film une réussite. Pourtant, la sagacité de ses répliques l’élève davantage. « <em>Le monde a fait de moi une putain, je veux faire du monde un bordel</em> ». Et elle y parvient, puisqu’elle est la première a annoncer, avant même que le professeur du village ne le comprenne et le répète: « <em>Le règne des hyènes a commencé </em>»</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span> </span>Ce règne est illustré (de façon didactique diront certains, mais sans pesanteur) par la présence des hyènes aux abords de Colobane. Crinière au vent, langue pendante, elles rôdent, sans doute moins effrayante que les hommes. Rapprochées des villageois par une sorte de champ-contrechamp, les bêtes semblent leur renvoyer leur image. Mais ce ne sont pas leurs rires hérissants que l’on entend, ce sont les cris des hommes, qui veulent faire déguerpir Draman Drameh, ce grand fautif qui les empêche d’accéder à la fortune de Ramatou. </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Les contes sont universels </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span> </span>Le film est, somme toute, un conte. Et la féerie des paysages ne le dément pas. Un conte a cela de particulier qu’il est universel, ne se démode pas. Ce n’est pas une question de lieu, ni d’époque. </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span> </span>En atteste le fait que <strong>cette histoire était au départ une pièce  de l&#8217;écrivain suisse Friedrich Dürrenmatt :</strong><em><strong> La Visite de la vieille dame</strong></em><strong>, que Mambéty a adapté à l’écran</strong>. Le récit préserve sa force, au-delà des frontières européennes et africaines, quant au message sur la cupidité des hommes, l’immoralité qui peut les toucher tous. </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span> </span>Situé en Afrique, certains critiques -français notamment- <strong>y ont vu la métaphore de la manne occidentale qui se déverse sur le continent noir</strong> et profite de sa misère pour y asseoir ses volontés. </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span> </span>Que cette analyse corresponde ou non à la volonté du cinéaste, <em>Hyènes </em>peut se regarder partout et hors de tout contexte. Ni la façon de filmer, ni surtout les répliques n’ont pâti de l’écoulement du temps. Ce film<em> demeure </em>un chef d’oeuvre.</p>

<description><![CDATA[. Geschichten für Schriftsteller? Friedrich Dürrenmatt Gibt es noch mögliche Geschichten, Geschichte]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#ffffff;"><a href="http://glareanverlag.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/friedrich-duerrenmatt.jpg"></a>.</span></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Geschichten für Schriftsteller?</span></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>Friedrich Dürrenmatt</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">Gibt es noch mögliche Geschichten, Geschichten für Schriftsteller? Will einer nicht von sich erzählen, romantisch, lyrisch sein Ich verallgemeinern, fühlt er keinen Zwang, von seinen Hoffnungen und Niederlagen zu reden, durchaus wahrhaftig, und von seiner Weise, bei Frauen zu liegen, wie wenn Wahrhaftigkeit dies alles ins Allgemeine transponieren würde und nicht viel mehr ins Medizinische, Psychologische bestenfalls, will einer dies nicht tun, vielmehr diskret zurücktreten, das Private höflich wahren, den Stoff vor sich wie ein Bildhauer sein Material, an ihm arbeitend und an ihm sich entwickelnd und als eine Art Klassiker versuchen, nicht gleich zu verzweifeln, wenn auch der bare Unsinn kaum zu leugnen ist, der überall zum Vorschein kommt, dann wird Schreiben schwieriger und einsamer, auch sinnloser, eine gute Note in der Literaturgeschichte interessiert nicht &#8211; wer bekam nicht schon gute Noten, welche Stümpereien wurden nicht schon ausgezeichnet -, die Forderungen des Tags sind wichtiger. Doch auch hier ein Dilemma und ungünstige Marktlage. Bloße Unterhaltung bietet das Leben, am Abend das Kino, Poesie die Tageszeitung unter dem Strich, für mehr, doch sozialerweise schon von einem Franken an, wird Seele gefordert, Geständnisse, Wahrhaftigkeit eben, höhere Werte sollen geliefert werden, Moralien, brauchbare Sentenzen, irgend etwas soll überwunden oder bejaht werden, bald Christentum, bald gängige Verzweiflung, Literatur alles in allem. <a title="Friedrich Dürrenmatt" href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_D%C3%BCrrenmatt" target="_blank"><img class="alignright alignnone size-full wp-image-1705" style="float:right;margin:1px 10px;" src="http://glareanverlag.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/friedrich-duerrenmatt.jpg" alt="Friedrich Dürrenmatt" width="211" height="247" /></a>Doch wenn dies zu produzieren der Autor sich weigert, immer mehr, immer hartnäckiger, weil er sich zwar im klaren ist, daß der Grund seines Schreibens bei ihm liegt, in seinem Bewußten und Unbewußten in je nach Fall dosiertem Verhältnis, in seinem Glauben und Zweifeln, jedoch auch meint, gerade dies gehe das Publikum nun wirklich nichts an, es genüge, was er schreibt, gestaltet, formt, man zeige appetitlicherweise die Oberfläche und nur diese, arbeite an ihr und nur dort, im übrigen sei der Mund zu halten, weder zu kommentieren noch zu schwatzen? Angelangt bei dieser Erkenntnis, wird er stocken, zögern, ratlos werden, dies wird kaum zu vermeiden sein. Die Ahnung steigt auf, es gebe nichts mehr zu erzählen, die Abdankung wird ernstlich in Erwägung gezogen, vielleicht sind einige Sätze noch möglich, sonst aber Schwenkung in die Biologie, um der Explosion der Menschheit, den vorrückenden Milliarden, den unablässig liefernden Gebärmüttern wenigstens gedanklich beizukommen, oder in die Physik, in die Astronomie, sich über das Gerüst ordnungshalber Rechenschaft abzulegen, in welchem wir pendeln. Der Rest für die Illustrierte, für Life, Match, Quick und für die Sie und Er: der Präsident unter dem Sauerstoffzelt, Onkel Bulganin in seinem Garten, die Prinzessin mit ihrem Tausendsassa von Flugkapitän, Filmgrößen und Dollargesichter, auswechselbar, schon aus der Mode, kaum wird von ihnen gesprochen. Daneben der Alltag eines jeden, westeuropäisch in meinem Fall, schweizerisch genauer, schlechtes Wetter und Konjunktur, Sorgen und Plagen, Erschütterungen durch private Ereignisse, doch ohne Zusammenhang mit dem Weltganzen, mit dem Ablauf der Dinge und Undinge, mit dem Abspulen der Notwendigkeiten. Das Schicksal hat die Bühne verlassen, auf der gespielt wird, um hinter den Kulissen zu lauern, außerhalb der gültigen Dramaturgie, im Vordergrund wird alles zum Unfall, die Krankheiten, die Krisen. Selbst der Krieg wird abhängig davon, ob die Elektronen-Hirne sein Rentieren voraussagen, doch wird dies nie der Fall sein, weiß man, gesetzt die Rechenmaschinen funktionieren, nur noch Niederlagen sind mathematisch denkbar; wehe nur, wenn Fälschungen stattfinden, verbotene Eingriffe in die künstlichen Hirne, doch auch dies weniger peinlich als die Möglichkeit, daß eine Schraube sich lockert, eine Spule in Unordnung gerät, ein Taster falsch reagiert, Weltuntergang aus technischem Kurzschluß, Fehlschaltung. So droht kein Gott mehr, keine Gerechtigkeit, kein Fatum wie in der fünften Symphonie, sondern Verkehrsunfälle, Deichbrüche infolge Fehlkonstruktion, Explosion einer Atombombenfabrik, hervorgerufen durch einen zerstreuten Laboranten, falsch eingestellte Brutmaschinen. In diese Welt der Pannen führt unser Weg, an dessen staubigem Rande nebst Reklamewänden für Ballyschuhe, Studebaker, Icecream und den Gedenksteinen der Verunfallten sich noch einige mögliche Geschichten ergeben, indem aus einem Dutzendgesicht die Menschheit blickt, Pech sich ohne Absicht ins Allgemeine weitet, Gericht und Gerechtigkeit sichtbar werden, vielleicht auch Gnade, zufällig aufgefangen, widergespiegelt vom Monokel eines Betrunkenen. ♦</p>
