Excerpt from my Dream.

 I have to sleep I have to sleep I have to sleep Metal rods pushing my fat, wooden table pinching my bones. Where ocean, the waves everything failed the foetus position and day dreaming scenarios worked.  The lucid train of thought arrives and I am very aware of its iteneary.  First stop the hills of assignments neatly stacked on top of another. I'm afraid the stay here will not be very pleasant but we will stop here for a moment to admire the view.  Next stop, Meetings, here we have people shouting with no sound so that the passengers who are asleep in the train are not disturbed or awoken. Next stop, love. Here the train never reaches on time so the passengers waiting on the platform are grateful for the arrival, however short lived it is.  When the train reaches its destination and it will be time to deboard, we will not be stopping the train on any platform to give the passengers an illusion of agency but will just slow it down, jump at your own risk.

A Haiku Screenplay | THE FORBIDDEN MARRIAGE

THE FORBIDDEN MARRIAGE * This Haiku Screenplay was written as separate Haikus inspired by different things and situations and then complied into one screenplay depicting another story altogether, for the deconstructed version of the Haikus with their inspirations, look at the end of the post*  This screenplay is about the forbidden meeting of two lovers and their killing in the name of honour.  ************************************************* Eyes on the horizon, feet in the sun  two people sit on the floor Until the mountains move A kiss, a caress, a pluck  Two lovers depart from the eden The Eden's crecent rests in a jar  The black bird flutters with the leaves  The footsteps trample the wings   It dies. Devoid of virtue, devoid of sin No face to shout  The only wailing comes from the flower of life.  A double edged sword The brown rust makes it kinder  To not shed scarlet blood  A white sun blazes the table white The brown ...

Poetic Realism: From Objective Facts to Moral Truth

Poetic Realism: From Objective Facts to Moral Truth Jean Renoir says - to let oneself absorbed by everything around you, life itself is an infinitely more rewarding spectacle than all the inventions of the mind.  Poetic Realism is a term that describes a style of cinema that emerged in France during the 1930s. It refers to a type of film that presents a poetic interpretation of reality, with an emphasis on emotional and psychological truths rather than objective facts. Poetic Realism is characterized by its use of atmospheric visuals, lyrical dialogue, and a focus on the inner lives of its characters. This essay will explore the origins of Poetic Realism, its key features, and its enduring legacy. Poetic Realism emerged in the aftermath of World War I and the economic and social turmoil that followed. Many French filmmakers were disillusioned with the traditional Hollywood-style cinema, which they saw as formulaic and shallow. They sought to create a new type of film that would ref...

Surrealism and Cinema

Surrealism and Cinema The conjunction of surrealism and cinema is a seducing one it evokes an undefined relation, a meeting point between the opposites of light and dark. Presence and absence, actuality and imagination which suggests the actualisation of the supreme point which Andre Breton identified as the aim of surrealism. So evocative is this concurrence that it already seems present in the human imagination long before either cinema or surrealism actually existed.  Dark memories hovering below the transparent screen of the present will present images of reality in sharp silhouette to create the pleasurable effect of a doble world. The outer world become so transparent and the inner world so diverse and full of meaning that one finds oneself in a state of nervous animation between the two.  - Novalis   Surrealism is a cultural movement that emerged in the early 20th century as a response to the devastation and fragmentation caused by World War I. The movement was cha...
