“Continue walking in front of Parliament, and
walk past the statue of 1848 revolutionary
hero Lajos Kossuth. Notice Kossuth, eyes
fixed on the distance, pointing directly
toward the Parliament building.”
si continua:
“Now walk
around to the side of Parliament and enter
the small park by the Danube at the north-
ern end of Kossuth tér. There’s a sensitive
Imre Varga statue of Mihály Károlyi”
Pe mine ma sperie.

din cauza romantismului meu destul de ne-expresionist mie-mi place si “Lampa” (ada cam stie)
un chiar frumos articol despre scoli.
chestia deranjanta (desi nu inteleg nici eu de ce) e reluarea ideilor despre modernitate la care se intoarce articolul: sfera privata- prapastie-sfera publica, rationalizarea modernitatii etc; ceea ce e bine, nu e bine

Asta pentru ca e singurul film in care Ku Klux Klan-ul saves the day. (Ursprung-ul, ca sa zic asa, al temei cavaleriei salvand … totul)
Lasand la o parte multe, multe lucruri cred ca unul din cele mai inspaimantatoare momente e cel de la 6:50, atunci cand camera filmeaza chipurile deputatilor negri dupa ce au acceptat casatoriile interrasiale.
Si, fireste, comentarii de pe youtube care sunt foarte, foarte tari (in alegerea mea; de mentionat ca doua din comentariile laudand Sudul alb sau KKK sunt ale unui tip din Bulgaria)

Thanks! I’am film student and this film is essential. Racist, yes, but essential. Thanks again!

Missing the point…
In essence, racism is what granted the United States the freedom it has today. You all seem to be forgetting that Abraham Lincoln did not want to free any slave, but realized he had to, out of the necessity for the preservation of the Union. Also, blame Thomas Dixon, the man who wrote the book that the movie is based on, not Griffith. Dixon was a racist who was against Reconstruction after the Civil War.

That America has already come and gone, because it was a fascist, oppresive, racist hellhole. You want that America back? Then move to disney land, fuckass, because thats the only place your perfect America is going to exist from here on out.

Well: The defeated Southerners depicted as a noble, hardworking and pious people while the Yankees shown as mean, greedy and lustful villains, who get drunk all the time and have constantly hookers around them, and the Blacks as brutish and savage creatures (though a lot of black shoe polish is here involved); I would surmise that this movie does defy the current political orthodoxy; but since Eisenstein’s Bolshevist movies are hailed as masterworks I guess this movie has that right too.

Fireste, nu am stat trei ore sa revad Solaris. Poate Andrei Rubliov as revedea sau Copilaria dar altele ma indoiesc (desi, uite, nu am vazut nicicand Nostalgia). Insa nu am inteles pasiunea pentru Tarkovski si nici nu o inteleg decat partial. Iar intr-o discutie nu poti decat sa reactionezi pozitiv la dragostea de Tarkovski. Asa trebuie.
Mie nu-mi plac ideile la Tarkovski. Si faptul ca se discuta mult. Mi se pare ca se discuta prost: Calauza e increbil de urat din cauza asta. Are si multe concluzii. Sau discutiile despre arta din Andrei Rubliov care sunt atat de plictisitoare!!! Niciodata eu nu mi-am dat seama daca Tarkovski nu a inteles ca discutiile acelea sunt foarte caraghioase. Bine, nu e vorba atat de idei, ca e bine sa ai idei dar nu idei ca alea. Nu stiu cum sa spun insa e rau. Insa nu era vorba de asta. Cred ca partea cea mai proasta e ca aceste lucruri sunt vaste ca stepa rusa.
Si el nu e suparat, e un artist suparat, ceea ce scoate tot farmecul. Adica scena de final din Rubliov e bleaga: apoteoza artei facuta nu atat prin filmarea icoanei ci prin accentul pus tocmai pe actul filmarii, ca-ntr-un soi de punere in abis continua pentru ca nu cred ca spectatorul se umple de credinta sau de credinta in arta ci e atent la plictiseala filmarii care acentueaza filmarea si care accentueaza ideea filmului adica credinta in arta. Eu prima oara am avut impresia ca filmand asa intentia e urmatoarea: sa recreeze prin imaginile din icoana scene biblice si am ramas entuziasmat. Insa nu e asa: scenele din icoana filmate nu au coeziune interna: ceea ce fimeaza nu e povestea in interiorul obiectului filmat, care e pictat de un altul. Or credinciosul nu se uita la icoane decat pentru a vedea povestea iar filmul nu e filmul credinciosului, in ciuda vagului misticism al regizorului. Credinciosul vede povesti, iar regizorul nu e credincios pentru ca nu vede povesti.
gesturi auto-reflexive gratuite si narciste. Si totul subintins de discutiile acelea( nu discutiile sunt de vina, ci faptul ca filmul se invarte in jurul lor; nimic din frumusetea discutiilor din Au bout de souffle). Si nu e vorba numai de narcisismul inerent ci de plictiseala si de …; adica, sa te uiti 5 minute ca bou’ la o icoana doar pentru a vedea apoteoza narcisista a unei arte … e plictisitor. De tot.
Desi e frumos un pic. Adica are si el, ca seicul din Bagdag, punctul sau.
