«I’m against nature»
Ben Whishaw interpretando Arthur Rimbaud: «I accept chaos. I don’t know whether it accepts me.»
«Seven simple rules of going into hiding: one, never trust a cop in a raincoat. Two, beware of enthusiasm and of love, both are temporary and quick to sway. Three, if asked if you care about the world’s problems, look deep into the eyes of he who asks, he will never ask you again. Four, never give your real name. Five, if ever asked to look at yourself, don’t. Six, never do anything the person standing in front of you cannot understand. And finally seven, never create anything, it will be misinterpreted, it will chain you and follow you for the rest of your life.»
em I’m not there de Todd Haynes
Geração XIII
We’re so helpless
We’re slaves to our impulses
We’re afraid of our emotions
And no one knows where the shore is
We’re divided by the ocean
And the only thing I know is
That the answer isn’t for us
No the answer isn’t for us
Feist em So Sorry
on the Matrix
This is cinematic art at its purest.
«This is your last chance. After this there is no turning back.
You take the blue pill, the story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe.
You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.»
But the choice between the blue and the red pill is not really a choice between illusion and reality. Of course, the matrix is a machine for fictions, but these are fictions which already structure our reality. If you take away from our reality the symbolic fictions that regulate it, you lose reality itself.
I want a third pill. So what is the third pill?
Definitely not some kind of transcendental pill which enables a fake, fast-food religious experience, but a pill that would enable me to perceive not the reality behind the illusion but the reality in illusion itself.
If something gets too traumatic, too violent, even too filled with enjoyment, it shatters the coordinates of our reality. We have to fictionalise it.
Slavoj Žižek em The perverst’s guide to cinema
«I never take off my gun belts.»
«ED MILLER: I’ve got six hundred dollars stashed away; I don’t need any governor’s reward.
JESSE JAMES: It’s the principle, too. I’m glad I happened by.»
«DOROTHY EVANS: So you were scared and that’s the only reason?
ROBERT FORD: Yeah. And the reward money.»

Stabat Mater Furiosa em cena
de Jean-Pierre Siméon, Líbano 1997 (Trad. Filipa Guerreiro)
Pintura de Catherine Henke
«Eu sei o que tu pensas homem da guerra,
di-lo, vá diz
que a minha emoção é ingénua,
que a minha emoção é comovente
mas ingénua,
porque a guerra não é um sentimento,
é justo que chorem a mãe e a filha mas isso não te diz respeito,
é imperioso que todos assumam de bom ou mau grado o mecanismo trágico das
causas e dos efeitos,
há constrangimento
e que assumir o constrangimento apesar dele.»
na bela interpretação de Ana Leitão.

“A dor é desagradável”
Sargento Parker Adderson: «Nunca estive morto em dias de vida. Já ouvi dizer que a morte é assunto sério, mas nunca da parte dos que passaram por ela.»
«Aquilo a que chama morrer é apenas a última dor na realidade, não existe “morrer”.»
«Quando for enforcado amanhã de manhã, será o mesmo; enquando estiver consciente, estarei vivo; quando morto, inconsciente. A natureza parece ter ordenado assim as coisas no meu próprio interesse; é como eu próprio o teria feito.»
em Parker Adderson, filósofo de Ambrose Bierce
