This list may grow as I find or recall more.

Bugs

(Thanks to IMDb, and whatever made me recall these quotes)

Let's analyze these dialogs from A Bug's Life movie:

Flik: Here, pretend - pretend that that's a seed.
Dot: It's a rock.
Flik: Oh, I know it's a rock, I know. But let's just pretend for a minute that it's a seed, alright? We'll just use our imaginations. Now, now do you see our tree? Everything that made that giant tree is already contained inside this tiny little seed. All it needs is some time, a little bit of sunshine and rain, and voilá!
Dot: This rock will be a tree?
Flik: Seed to tree. You've gotta work with me, here. Alright? Okay. Now, y-you might not feel like you can do much now, but that's just because, well, you're not a tree yet. You just have to give yourself some time. You're still a seed.
Dot: But it's a rock.
Flik: [shouting] I know it's a rock! Don't you think I know a rock when I see a rock? I've spent a lot of time around rocks!
Dot: You're weird, but I like you.

I felt a connection when I saw the recursion of this 'childish' explanation near the end of the movie. With this dialog, in that time, I felt a similar level of connection like the one I felt with the first twelve minutes of Up movie.

Also, it's nice to see how, in the moment of the recursion, these talkers almost exchange their positions:

[Dot gets a rock]
Dot: Pretend it's a seed, okay?
Flik: Thanks, Dot.
Francis: Hey, what's with the rock?
Slim: Must be an ant thing

I'm sure some sheeps may do a nice work as shepherds. The problem seems to be how to state when their work is either solving a need, or satisfying a terrenal whim.

Autist Cowgirl

I saw Temple Grandin. It's a comedy movie, right?

She knows that humans care about cows because they are food, and so they will be killed. Nevertheless, she also thought that cows deserve some kind of respect. She also said that if she were to die, she would like it to be in the best and most peaceful way possible...

Have you read the previous paragraph? Many of you could think "Cows are not human. Why should we treat them as humans?" Well, I don't know what you could think about random citizens, workers and soldiers, but they also are/will be "killed" (citizens will be taxed, workers won't have enough freetime, and soldiers will go to wars), but that doesn't matter, because they are not cows, but sheeps of some big shepherds.

My favourite phrases from the movie:

• People. I don't understand people ...
• She thinks in pictures.
  
• They mess with the perspective!
• Think of it as a door ...
• It's almost time for The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
• Nature is cruel, but we don't have to be.
• I touched the first cow as it was being stunned ...
• I don't want my thoughts to die with me.

Pulpy Enough

I saw Pulp Fiction. I think this movie was made with several kind of people in mind, because part I didn't like much, I'm sure those same parts will be lovable for women, delinquents or polices.

Each one of these phrases are very related to parts I like. There are many phrases, so I only stated those memorable ones for me of the whole section:

• Royale with Cheese.
  
• Eenie, meenie, minie, mo.
  
• "Please" would be nice.
• All right, now, Yolanda!
• ... shepherd. (I avoided the temptation of putting that complete "ending" phrase)

As dreamy and delightful as Kill Bill 1 & 2 were.

Memento of our Society

I saw Memento.

Good and Evil are playing with all of us humans.

Although we have no vision, we should have a system to test or define our direction. But, any system can be sabotaged.

It's not to choose the best thing for one person, or a country, but for the whole world.

We still keep playing inside this kinder-garden bubble that we (we) have called Earth.

The sad part of all this is that, even if Earth explodes, it will be so hard to reconstruct this knowledge again.

20100813T1103: In another point of view, a possibility I also explored is how could we misinterpret old or former memories or facts of the past with our limited memory. It could also mean that it could be a mistake to try to seek the origin of everything with our current level of development, because we can take that complete beginning as all wrong, as we normally do every time we see any "better" alternative or suggestion.

The Last "Atreyu" From Earth

After I saw Never Ending Story (first movie), I started to dream about how could somebody write something like that, that can give the same impression for adults as that story created on kids.

A friend of mine, KameKun, recommended me The Last Man From Earth movie. I can assure you that you can bring something useful for yourself after you see this movie. The most important thing I need to study about this movie is how to organize things you say, in a order that all people listening them will be able to understand you, and believe you.

If all is possible, and all these things have happened, then somebody must be desperately hunting for that last man. If not, then the way he organized the story is at the scale of an illusionist or a magician, because it is almost believable.

• Aristarchus long before that. (story is getting sharp)
• Yochanan
  

Now, impressively, I have recalled something I wrote some time ago. I called that story Immortal Rich. Recently, I have commented in my actual job how much I like dialogs in textbooks. Well, this movie is all dialog!

After you see this movie, haven't you felt how your mind tries to fly towards all those moments that John described? I really like that kind of jumps...

"The Last Supper" Man

Reference to my joke in the title:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Supper_%28Leonardo_da_Vinci%29

I have seen Superman Returns movie. I really don't like to underestimate coincidences, like must people do, and in this time, I have found one related to Planet Krypton and Planet Vegeta, and, even knowing that they were not born in Earth, both Goku and Superman love this planet. When I see things like these, I think that Japan is copying some stories from United States...

Some extracts of quotes:

• God doesn't share His power
• In jail, my knowledge worth less than a piece of metal and cigarettes
• Don't alarm. It is normal
• They don't need superman, but they cry for one
• Mind over muscle
• Krrrrryptonite!

If Lex Lutor is the wolf, then is Superman the vampire? Never underestimate the perseverance of a wolf!

When I saw Superman falling towards earth and sea, I recalled the phrase "Fallen Angel" and Jiraiya... and also that I want to jump from a parachute and learn how to swim!! XD

The Never Ending Ocarina Of Time!

Alert: this post is too personal. It might contain too much bullshit.

I was trying to note what I think while I see The Never Ending Story movie, and to try to compare it with some of my thoughts from childhood, because the only concrete thing that I recalled was that I felt a deep and profound story the moment I saw it when I was a child. In my mind, pieces appear randomly, and I try to put them in order, just like a Jig-Saw, or Tetris. I started adding notes, but ended doing a mess of thoughts that it seems it will take a long time to get in order. I always believe that thoughts, like anger, clever or crazy, can hide interesting ideas.

• this book is not for you (my eyes are getting wet)
• No, not too much. We still have a long way to go.
• Don't let the Sadness of the Swamps get to you (DKC2)
• Atreyu wouldn't quit now
• How did all this happen? With Luck (Wink!)
• Only 9,891
• Never give up, and good luck will find you (go down fighting)
  
• It's to hurt if it's to heal (La Mole, Orochimaru, Dr. Lizard, I thought in Hal, but it was Triton from One Piece)
• To the winch, wench
• Be confident
• What if they really do know about me in Fantasia?
• Fantasia has no boundaries
• Why is Fantasia dying then?
• People who has no hope are easy to control
• I am the servant of the power behind the nothing.
• That was the end of Fantasia
• It was the only way to get in touch with an earthling
  
• ...others are sharing his
• ...that one little boy could be that important
• He's already chosen it
• As many as you want. The more wishes you make, the more magnificent Fantasia will become

i felt identified with bastian

atreyu is link in ocarina of time

Auryn - wingw-auryn leviosa

chile easter island stones

people will try to hunt only for all the defects in the movie, but will ignore the message and the impression they tried to transmit. Maybe now I'm ready to see Star Wars, from Ronald ACS.

sadness of the swamps. Artax and the swamps moved me right now. I cried with Bastian.

Morla is like E.T.! Another must to see. It's a Turtle, like KameKun.

What? they heard Bastian Scare Cry? Nice, they showed how to get into the mind of the child, or the reader!

It can scare kids, but I think that is a too great story for starting kids.

Neo and Smith - Atreyu and Gmork - Yin and Yang: recursion of Nothing to the correct level, and to make it impressive for some, and that it can make it evident and ignored. Once again, stories must be read twice, and after some long time. I was writing while Bastian was reading.

I have read that directors are killing us with recycled stories. If that's true, they why they keep recycling them? MAYBE BECAUSE HUMANITY HAVEN'T STILL GOT THE MESSAGE OF IT!

God sent his first ship, Falco, and Atreyu grabbed it ASAP

Mikey and Pluto, Astro Boy and Jump, Casshern and Friender, Atreyu and Falco (Falkor, like a Dog-Dragon),

Now I know why I never forgot Falco. Hey I have noticed how language gets truncated with time. Black rappers do it, and dialects too!

I saw Naruto and the two old little toads!!

Southern Oracle - Matrix Oracle

Old Women doing the Hard Work to push the Old Man up?

Observatory to Astronomy. I recalled "Chapulin Colorado Chiquitolina", and now "hobbits"

The sphinxes reminded me the eye laser on Zelda, allegory on the game's challenges? Maybe the purity of the heart to get to the Inner Light is the meaning of the sphinx?

Goku purity of heart.

"Father, into your hands I commend my Spirit"

Magic Mirror Gate!! OCARINA AGAIN! Besides Zelda, I was always looking for another story that resembles Dark Naruto! Still, I don't know the story of Dark Ryu.

Ingredients in this post seems un-connect-able, but I think I will cook something interesting in the future, even if it's only for My Self.

In which circumstances a man can elaborate a colorful story like that? On drugs?

Not too much computer effects. That's why they feel alive and real.

What Atreyu saw at the mirror was the image of the reader?? These stories are seeds to plant into the heads of writers! Include readers into your story and take their feelings to the extreme!

"Now, this is going too far." Reactions like that is what people feel when they are confronted with disgusting truths. It is like when you light up your bedroom and find many insects and bugs inside it. But like in Moon said to Huo Yuanjia: because, "If you're sad", my Grandma told me "then cry", "After you cry, you still have to live life"

When was the first time I saw this movie? Before my vice with video games, before I was 11. I was loosing my vice, and this movie reminded it to me.

I recall a torment when Bastian was reading. Also, I compared Falkor with DBZ Shenlong.

"The Empress needs a name" Empress looks like Enterprise or "Empresa" in Spanish. Then the writers enterprise needs a new name? Also, I learned that Name is a pilot script in Bakuman manga... but "Empress" and "Name" can be exchanged with "Dream" and "Focus/How"

Although Fantasies can look imperfect, they are necessary to transmit the correct impression. I recalled all those rare things that we think, like orcs, gollums, hobbits, entz, bugs, etc. They are ugly but somehow, I feel that they are really needed.

The Bastian Storm was when reading "Sea of Possibilities" Possibilities are infinite!! I recalled the book "Who stole my cheese", and How I wanted to become a child. I recalled two girls in my school that sung "tienes que ser un niño". Some time ago, I wanted to feel like a child. Love Guru refreshed me that idea, and I was almost forgetting it.

LOL the Auryn was lost! Naruto necklace was also lost! Atreyu looks like young Servando and Florentino.

I recalled Link at the Valley of Death, but after the Sea Of Possibilities.

Each time I see The Rock Man, I recall "La Mole" or "The Thing"

I also recall Indiana Jones from time to time.

Still, if you try to do a movie like that right now in 2010, and only using superposition and physical background effects, it will be still a expensive movie to do.

Recursion of story writing that I thought when I read Bakuman, and also recalled Issac from Heroes.

"Little Red Riding Hood" Painting Twist! They have been shown Bastian there, to transmit the impression to the watcher, also! But I can't demand too much from 1982 cinema. What a coincidence...

When I saw Gmork, I recalled Splinter from Ninja Turtles, and Pluto manga, and Kerberos from Eyeshield 21; and Princess Mononoke when Falkor appeared after that.

When I recall about the origin of this movie, I also recalled Kinderheim 511 experimients in Monster manga, and Steiner the Magnificent.

Recalled also Mario Bros world 2-2 when Falkor found Auryn.

"That was the end of Fantasia." Instead, I really felt like Earth exploded. After that, when I saw the Ivory Tower, I have recalled some blogs and writings that say: "If you have arrived at this point, then I feel proud of you, and I felt I accomplish something." There's is still Hope.

Also I recalled a Bachata from Anthony Santos "Predica, que todavia hay luz."

When Falkor said "Go on" I recalled Toruk Makto from Avatar, and how I joked about Neytiri starting to respect Jake Sully after seeing "The Hummer". I recalled that I haven't seen neither Terminator Salvation nor Twilight nor Saw movies...

Dragon, the Dragon of Luck, Bugs Bunny, the Rabbit of Luck... 8-Mile B-Rabbit, Alice in Wonderland Rabbit Hole.

Inside Ivory Tower, Atreyu looks like Basshunter, and Empress recalls Nicole Kidman, and some superior beings that appeared in Assassin's Creed.

"Why you look so sad?" made me recall Thiaoouba Prophecy eBook.

I don't know what to think when I heard Empress to say Bastian. The first impression was "It's a child's tale", then "If they were to choose a name, they should be left it open". I now understand the message a little better, but how can we make an history in which the reader feels that he forms part of it? As I see it now: Atreyu --> Video Games. The next step is, either a model of yourself in the story, or you playing in a First Person View mode with a helmet. Life is like a Game, a long one, and sometimes it feels short. Life is like Chess, as Benjamin Franklin said.

I recalled when Ichigo couldn't hear his Zankapatou name in the moment I couldn't hear the new name for the Empress. I now saw another storm, the storm I recall from when I was a child, I think it is this one.

I also recall how some unseen but realistic ideas that I think occur after a couple of years.

"Lord" of Flies, flew and left us alone...

I have seen "Lord of the Flies" ... !@#$%^&*())_+{}:"|<>?`-=[];'\,./

This is exactly what I think will happen with our beloved Earth! Since the start, the fire was a signal!

I will stop now because, if I keep going, I will put inside this entry the whole UTF-32 Chart (Uhat The F#$%?) I got some laughs with Se7en, but even though this is another type of "Divine Comedy", I got mad with it. Also, after you see this movie, try to remember the "Over here!" moment... Why does God let bad things to happen? Why does He make those sadistic jokes? If you have seen Monster anime, then you'll understand this: maybe we are in God's Kinderheim 511.

We all only keep trying to look into differences instead of looking into similarities! Balance Everything! Don't turn the tide blindly to one side or the other. That is what I think, but it is also a Contradiction, because if we don't do it, then there won't be Progress... Can you see how a "right" decision can become "wrong", but in some aspects can return to be "right"? This movie is another evidence for myself that any enlightening situation can be seen either as "Wow", or "Bah."

Some phrases:

• ... too many people are screwing around ... (could be "reading" screwing around?)
• There's eight million "islands" out here...
• Both March Songs in the movie were funny.
• Over here! ... Hey, man, we were hunting.
• If you don't stand up to him, you're just another one of his slaves. (what Jack did!)
• What are you guys doing? (it looks like Cannibalism... Hannibal Lecter anyone?)
  

If there are really Powerful, Intelligent and Advanced Entities living in other planets, they will know for sure the greatest value of planets (for some Greek philosophers, some planets were Gods!) and they will come to Earth if they think something really dangerous is happening to the planet, just like The Day The Earth Stood Still movie.

Do you want to try it out? Even if they come, many of us will be punished from them. Or maybe they would let the whole Earth explode...

Haven't you feel how "magically" Noah has built his Arc to save some animals and people? Or how "magically" Lot was saved from Sodom? Or when Moses opened up the Red Sea? Can you make an analogy with Klaatu? Or with the ending of "Lord of Flies" movie? Don't you feel how "magically" we have anything we need to keep alive for many years? Swimming seems to be a kind of food... and a polluting act.

Lot's story fits more than a certain alternative I read about the origin of Adam and Eve, except that they were relatives...

I have now seen the vice cycle of "our" Universe: There are tons of evidence that many great people used to AFFIRM that there exists Real Powerful and Intelligent Entities in the Universe, but many people ignored, and still will continue to do so until...

"When Father's out, Kids make a Party", but if you leave kids alone, then they can "start to play with matches." In this case, kids can have two extremes. First extreme is to do exactly what Father said. Second extreme is to realize that kids will be alone for a very long time. Second starts to forget the teachings of and feel hatred for Father. First insists that Second is acting mad, but Second is alone and doesn't care about it, because Second does anything he can to survive (but ignores that Father built a house and left food). With this Wrath, Second attempts to beat First. While getting beat, First, who has been acting exactly as Father commanded, and seeing how everything he learned was for nothing, First says "Father, why have you forsaken me?" (recalling Chop Suey, from System of a Down - It seems to fit also in this movie). But the magical thing is that, if Father appear in that very moment, Second will magically also say "Father, why have you forsaken me?"

On the Internet I read that Lord of Flies book is a recommended reading in many schools. Nevertheless, I have never known about this book when I was a kid. If I ask to some of my literature teachers from school if they taught "Lord of Flies" book, they might blindly say Yes, and that I hadn't put enough attention. If that's the Truth, then I forgot it, but if that's a Lie, the education system is downgrading... Some schools might teach about this story, but if the message can't be spread, then it was for nothing, although the message might be inside somebody's psyche until it finds its way to fly out...

Some thoughts that people with a Second attitude will have after they saw this movie will be "Now we are adults. We are the soldiers." ( but not "We are the world. We are the children.") But if it is shown the real way, then they will say "Hey! Don't believe that silly science-fiction crap", or the most modern complain, "No girls! Too gay!" Now I know what some religions meant when they say "The origins of Universe and God are so simple, that we can't believe or understand them."

I can't help it, but I got INCREDIBLY AMAZED when I saw fight of Ralph and Jack in front of Piggy, and compared it with Sasuke and Naruto (respectively) ... Innocently, this movie has too many metaphors!

PS: Beelzebub is "Lord of Flies", and that term is related to evil... how many things have been taken as evil, but they weren't? ... ironically and funny, the next movie I have in queue to see is The Never Ending Story...

PPS: I want to play King Of Fighters and use Ralph's Galactic Phantom.

PPPS: This PPS thing was learned from Mary and Max movie... :-P

I "Saw" Se7en

Yesterday, I was looking for the 7 deadly sins, because I normally have problems remembering the spanish translations of Sloth and Wrath (what a coincidence) I don't know if I should feel happy or sad about my bad memory.

Se7en was recommended by a coworker. It was in my list of Twister Endings movies to see, like, for example, American Psycho (seen) and Memento (yet to see) and specially The Unusual Suspects (seen!)

I really like when movies can explain the change of determination that people might have in their life in a logically and clearly and believable way. Also, the movie starts to catch speed after 1:08, and boy, what a speed!

Some phrases:

• You won't quit because you believe, but you wanna believe it because you'll quit!
• Detective! You are looking for me. (Roger 'Verbal' Kint!!!)
  
• There he seats. It's not supposed to make any sense (LOL. and like Yoda!)
• For the first time ever, you and I are in total agreement (LOL)
• Frankly, I am inclined to let them rot (LOL)
• The law requires me to serve my clients... (LOL, The devil's advocate)
• If John's head splits and an UFO come out, believe it! (USA Naruto)
  
• Wanting people to listen, you can't just tap them on the shoulder anymore...
• Oh, he didn't know (I feel guilty, because John's amusement face made me laugh)

I will stop here. Many LOLs after the appearance of Kevin Spacey... Unusual Suspects, American Beauty, K-Pax, The Negotiator... I didn't want to see Spacey as Lutor, but now I have enough motives to try that Superman version.

When I heard the lawyer talk, what I felt in that moment was exactly what I think about laws and lawyers: the possibility to "legally" take advantage of some holes in our system... A moment latter, when they talked about "taps on shoulders", I was also agreed with that kind of thought: when people perceive big and tragical events, it's when they listen. (Watchmen, Heroes, 911...)

On "Pride", I recalled when my friend KameKun talked to (and recommended) me about Saw hexalogy. In this movie, from time to time, I recalled the Dark Knight's Joker philosophy, and I reminded (again) John Anderton emotive moment in Minority Report. In Se7en, since the lawyer appeared, I was thinking in David Mills' family.

I am almost believing that the coworker that recommended the movie thinks that I have the same personality of John Doe... another one compared me with Edmond... another with Max Jerry Horowitz... in Facebook some said I am "Likely to Become" a Gangster... another one with Musaman... another called mi Asperger... What's happening? Do I look like a Killer or a Murderer? Even though, I would like to live like Jiraiya...

I wrote about a dream I've got some days ago. Each of the coworkers in the dream recommended me Edmond and Se7en, respectively... I was trying to forget that nightmare, but now, it seems some events are trying to recall it.

That dream? Firefighters? Game of Words? One of my previous jobs? The picture in My Garage, Miti Miti - Encendia ... It seems like bad news will arrive. I'm getting nervous, but I must control my anxiety. As my great-grandmother recommended me to say: "Father, into your hands I commend my spirit!"

If this movie was an emulation of "The Divine Comedy", then it pulled some laughs from me. I know this is bad, but it goes into extremes too high that I feel it funny... although I thought David Mills was going to die by himself...

Laught Movie #27

"There's something about Mary" is in #27 of AFI's 100 Years - 100 Laughs.

I really like "The Love Guru", even after I knew that movie was highly criticized. I wanted to know what does Mary have that Pitka doesn't.

I recall many funny things. Some looked disgusting, like making fun with bad events occurred to one of the main characters and how fast you can advance when you use lies. Even though, I started to respected the movie after this question was uttered:

"Did you hire Pat Healy to spy on me?"

Because I was interested to see how he was going to clean his image and name for Mary.

I liked the singers more and more as the story advanced. Each character got what it deserved. The ending was happy, but it seemed overacted and a little forced. Well, I think that is something that all comedies have in common: their endings are either forced or cliché.

For my point of view, one movie promotes Sacrifice and the other promotes Joy of Child.

Edmond (Et Monde; The World)

A "friend" of mine recommended me Edmond movie, because he says the main character make him remind me... !@#$%! I think it was a bad joke from that "friend", but also I felt connected with many situations the main character suffered, but not exactly in that way.

Edmond path is somewhat acceptable for me.

Some people have related me about how my grandfather, Luis Alberto Cortorreal, always walked with two knives. The last thing I remember about him is that he committed suicide by ingesting a poisonous liquid. It makes me feel chills to think that I will end my life like Edmond or my grandfather.

This movie made me to recall a feeling of fear that I got when I saw Click movie. I hated and was afraid to have the same future of Michael Newman. I also recalled that was the night that motivated me to have a child, but many things that happened afterward have removed my motivation to become a father... but anyway, people might change. My future got wasted.

Going back to Edmond, the striking moment is when he got in jail: he felt fearless, then suffered "something", then he felt angry... and after some time, he accepted his actual life. And now, he is thinking about his next life. Does he have fear about his upcoming life?

I'll accept that possibility, because Future is uncertain. We can control our Future, but we need a strong willpower. I also recalled a moment in Minority Report movie when Chief John Anderton discovered the man that had many pictures of his son... What would I have done if I get into a similar situation? That is a scary thing to think!

Will my "friend" become gay? Maybe he already is! :-P Will I become Gay? I don't know what my Future have stored for me. :-P! I am walking a path similar to Edmond's, but with essential differences. I feel that some things are predestined in life, but what I really fear is that things I do might really be perceived the way I don't want to. I think that is called Non-Verbal Communication. I don't like Lies, but I also hate to live using appearances. Sadly, I have learned that, you might pretend to be some other type of people, either by ego or by self-protection.

Edmond movie also is making me to believe that "our feelings hide all the problems that must be solved in this Universe!" Gravity? Energy? Speed of Light? Atomic or Cellular Regeneration? NO!! Only one mind is too limited to solve problems like those ones, but "L'Union fait la Force!"

Although I think this movie was a bad joke towards me, I also recall that, to make an apparently disgusting picture like that might only be a message from the author of that story. I really love women. I really wish to have many of them, and treat all of them very nice, but I have not enough money for all of them and their feelings and wishes are somewhat complicated to understand... To talk too much about a movie like Edmond looks too Gay-ish... this bad appearance is the bad side of the !@#$%&* power of Non-Verbal Communication.

One of my most favorite biblical entities is also King Solomon. If I were a king, I would be like him!

Edmond haggle too much about women, and never got paid-sex; and when he achieved free-sex, then he made something not too deplorable; in my case, I struggle and haggle too much about code structure in programming.

If you hate something too much, I can bet that you have something that you love to do that is not too lazy for you. Then, that probably might be your next step in your life!

One interesting feature of intelligent people is that they seems eager to beat other people "using a little of their own medicine". It is an easy path, but it lacks some originality. Also, another thing I hate about people is how they promote too much fear, instead of Unity.

This world is driving all of us crazy, and I think that is a fault of this civilization. The author of The Freedom Of Choice said that he had experimented many limits or extremes in his life, and he is still unsatisfied; also, Edmond still wonders what will be coming next.

Normally, what I dream is not exactly what I achieve; but when you set up goals and achieve them, magical things happen. Things you thought too hard or impossible to see. Dreams are hard goals. Pursuit easy ones. Not one of the 7 Wonders were build by only one man. A manager is not alone!

I struggled too much, and after some hours (and a second look) I got interesting quotes:

• 1:15
• You admit that you were speaking to her?
• I learned my lesson. I'm ready to go home.
• "That happens"
  
• Maybe you are ready to be filled
• Nothing is impossible
• Interrogator, Priest: Why did you kill that girl?
• Mena Suvari! Julia Stiles! Denise Richards! Grr, you lucky moron...
  

I was marveled when I saw his wife and the priest went to visit Edmond in jail. I think those were the two boats God sent to try to help him.

I learned something: instead of avoiding those difficult questions, what you should do is to find a very acceptable answer to show to everybody, yourself included.

I also have a really profound and deep question to ask:
"Do you believe that Edmond thinks that he is in the place where he belongs?"

PS: with this post I have confirmed that, if an idea keeps me bringing memories or alternatives to accept that idea in my life during more than thirty minutes, then I can write a blog entry with acceptable length for me!

Mary & Max: "They" think humans learn by magic

Yeah! I wanted to write something about this great story, something that really moves me, or have a great meaning, at least for me.

This was born when I thought how bad people would comment about this movie, and specially to Max, which I compare with characters like Shrek, Forest Gump, or even Homer Simpson: "That's why you should never talk with strangers!" That's where my anger come from.

We are taught comprehensive reading and writing, but we are not taught about feelings. Even some people have "coined" the buzzword "emo"; some have "discovered" the "asperger" symptom; many people think only in money, fashion, bullets and bombs, and try to leave feelings aside. Wow! The only feeling that is important is LOVE! But, what kind of Love...?

Everybody wants someone to rely on, but there's no subject in school that teach us about it. We should learn it by our own means.

The Pursuit of Happyness

I am talking about that great movie. It was stated very clearly and exactly how real "happyness" is achieved. Many people may say "Bah, I have bigger problems than that Chris Gardner", or "Geez, it is a simple imaginary story". If you have not achieved all your dreams and still keep that kind of thoughts in your near future, then you are destined to walk through a path full of sadness, misery and suffering.

The Pursuit of Happyness it is NOT a movie about Chris Gardner. It IS a movie about all twists you will encounter in your life that were generated by some past mistakes, and all sacrifices you will need to make in order to correct them and keep yourself moving forward.

Although I heard some information about this movie, some unexpected moments deeply moved me. If you see it, then you will understand many of these phrases:

• Don't ever let somebody tell you: "You can't do something". Not even me. All right?
• There was a man who was drowning, and a boat came.
• What is it? Dinosaurs!
• Please don't move that mountain
  
• Volunteer Donor: Blood Donation!!!
  
• You're a good papa
• US $250: 4 more weeks of oxygen
  
• Was it as easy as it looked? No, sir. No, sir, it wasn't.
• He must have had on some really nice pants (LOL)
  
• Oh, Chris. I almost forgot. (5 dollars, LOL)
  

All what he had to endure in order to keep his opportunity to achieve his happyness, all mishaps one will need to withstand in the new way of living until that opportunity sprouts its fruits: that was the message I got.

What about you?

My praise for The Love Guru

This entry is dedicated to The Love Guru. Here I will put phrases and quotes that promote deep-thinking and inspiration in myself, even with movie's high level of comedy and morbidity.

I am doing this because the fact this movie was high criticized is colliding with all good messages it has. Well, here I go:

• Into-me-I-see
• BASIC Instructions Before Leaving Earth
• D.R.A.M.A.: We must Distract you from your emotional pain, Regress you back to your childhood. We must Adjust your negativity, Mature you, and put it all into Action
  
• Maurice, if Plato, Shakespeare and Einstein were talking about the meaning of life, and two elephants started humping outside, even they would rush to the window. It is the ultimate distraction.
• Good distraction frees us from emotional pain. Bad distraction gives you a mouth full of whizz.
  
• Did it smell that bad when you ate it?
• Fate is a joke ... The joke is in your hands
  
• People may say bad things about you, but you must never say bad things about yourself
• Yeah! You are laughing! You see, you're filled with joy of a child! ... Congratulations, you have been regressed.
• I have two tattoos. One tattoo is the DRAMA tattoo, which signifies the self-determinist philosophy of the Tugginmypudha Ashram...
• When love goes wrong, nothing goes right.
• Songs: "Working 9 to 5" and "More than words"
• Once you have learned that self-love is more important than being loved by others, you may remove the belt.
• To know something is good. To do something is God.
• - Pressure makes diamonds.
  - Pressure also makes rubble
  - And after a good whipping, cream rises to the top.
  - So does scum! (Yin-Yang!)
  - ... You're like the poor man's Deepak Chopra.
  - Game over. (Because of feelings or it got personal?)
  
• An eye for an eye leaves everybody blind ... Never watch the bottle ...
• Remember, being vulnerable is being woundable. I say take the risk.
  
• What is the downside of throwing away your fear? The only way out is in.
• Boyfriend? Girlfriend? (LOL, I have never asked that way!)
• 3 girls named Ann (LOL)
  

When later I remember another one, I will add it.

Ying Xiong: Broken Sword

These are one of many dialogs from this movie which made my head dizzy.

I brought this one because it was today that I have already digested it.

Nameless: Great calligraphy.
Broken Sword: Great swordsmanship.
Nameless: You didn't see my swordsmanship.
Broken Sword: Without it, I couldn't have written this calligraphy.

WTF?? What a !@#$%^&* second answer from Broken Sword! I didn't see its relation to the swordsmanship of Nameless until today.

Those are very deep answers. I will love to be able to create that kind of phrases. It seems that, in essence, you need to connect two apparently different topics. If somebody says something about one thing, that could reveal something else about himself. Then, you bring that out, and when he asks you in bewilderment, you will bring your phrase.

If I checked its leading:

I have great calligraphy because I have great swordsmanship. If you are capable of understanding my calligraphy, then you probably can understand my swordsmanship. If you understand it, then you should have great one.

I was focusing on calligraphy, not in literature or meaning of scriptures. If I go that way:

Those are my thoughts after many years of battle. That is the way I really feel. If you find this phrase great, then you had similar sufferings like mine. If your abilities got you as far as understanding this, then they should be great!

But of course, both of them are swordsmen and they talked about calligraphy, maybe not meanings ... I am trying to connect two apparently different topics ... :-D
