Samsara

beauty 11:29:00
We often find ourselves in the same everyday routine. Wake-up, shower, breakfast, make-up (no make-up), travel to work, traffic, work, work, work, home, dinner, kids, TV, bed. Add some additional stuff that fills your day. Individual decisions. We rarely see more than our office's windows, our way to work, our computer, our family members. Maybe that is why traveling seems to us more...

It's a funny thing when you look at your parents and realize that once they were also teenagers with insecurities and doubts.

Tribe

abortion 03:25:00
The way we communicate does not have to be limited to sounds. The scheme of history divided us into countries and nationalities but there's a universal language of gestures that we all understand. Emotions, the language of sex, desire, violence, death. No words are spoken. But so much is depicted via those images that we don't find it difficult to comprehend every single...

The Little Rascals

children 03:24:00
Remember when you were a kid and the greatest joy in life was to get a set of round colorful chewing gums and a can of Coca-Cola?

Gosford Park

A house that unveils many secrets. Two classes which are inherently connected and they intertwine. Relationships considered improper. Intrigues known only to selected individuals. A very peculiar atmosphere of work, where secrets should be secrets and the distance between classes should be preserved. Still, as every place of work is an interesting kaleidoscope of personalities, Gosford Park seems to be the epitome of...

Cloud Atlas

Ben Whishaw 04:02:00
It's amazing how people are similar regardless of the passing of time. It strikes me every time that human instincts are just the same and we might be technologically more developed, know just a little bit more, either from experience or observation, but still, we commit sins of our kind. We hate, discriminate, we are inherently afraid of one another and these instincts...

On the nature of pictures

*Every Google image belongs to someone and this someone should be noted. However, if pictures are scenes from the film they most probably belong to owners of the film/producers. I use saved screens of the Google compilation of pictures, thus the pictures of pictures, which I take, cut and edit myself (as a derivative use). They are used for reviewing purposes (fair use), not for diminishing the films' profits by stealing what rightly belongs to them. Copyright is tricky, let's get used to it.
