Thanks to a friend who told me about this song.
" Pasolini is me
'Accattone' you'll be
I entered nothing and nothing entered me
'Til you came with the key
And you did your best but
As I live and breathe
You have killed me
You have killed me
Yes I walk around somehow
But you have killed me
You have killed me
Piazza Cavour, what's my life for?
Visconti is me
Magnani you'll never be
I entered nothing and nothing entered me
'Til you came with the key
And you did your best but
As I live and breathe
You have killed me
You have killed me
Yes, I walk around somehow
But you have killed me
You have killed me
Who am I that I come to be here...?
As I live and breathe
You have killed me
You have killed me
Yes I walk around somehow
But you have killed me
You have killed me
And there is no point saying this again
there is no point saying this again
But I forgive you, I forgive you
Always I do forgive you."
It is interesting to see the cross references between films and songs. I also think about the song TSUI HARK by Sparks and the song BRAKHAGE by Stereolab.

WE'RE ALL ALONE UNDER THE BLANKET
This is my comment in Bioscope webboard:
http://www.bioscopemagazine.com/smf/index.php?topic=1167.0
เห็นด้วยว่าหนังของคุณทศพลเรื่อง “ผ้าห่ม” ดูซับซ้อนและยากขึ้นกว่าหนังเรื่องก่อนๆ แต่ก็เป็นหนังที่ชอบมากๆ ถึงแม้การดูเพียงรอบเดียวจะทำให้ดิฉันรู้สึกว่าตัวเองแทบไม่เข้าใจอะไรในหนังเรื่องนี้เลยก็ตาม โดยเฉพาะความสัมพันธ์ระหว่างตัวละครหญิงหนึ่งชายสองในหนังเรื่องนี้ (ไม่แน่ใจว่าผู้ชายที่โทรศัพท์ กับผู้ชายที่เล่นกีตาร์เป็นคนละคน หรือเป็นคนเดียวกัน เข้าใจว่าเป็นคนละคนกัน) สาเหตุหนึ่งที่ชอบมากๆอาจจะเป็นเพราะว่ามีหลายๆฉากที่มันโดนใจตัวเองอย่างไม่มีเหตุผลอย่างเช่นฉากเล่นกับแขนเสื้อ, ฉากที่เธอพูด แต่ไม่มีใครได้ยินเธอ, ฉากที่เธอได้แต่เฝ้ามองผู้ชายเล่นกีฬาอยู่ห่างๆ, ฉากที่เธอเดินขึ้นเดินลงบันไดอะไรสักอย่าง, ฉากที่เธอขี่จักรยานแล้วมีเสียงผู้ชายพูดชื่อวันต่างๆ, ฉากที่เธอวาดรูปในอากาศ และโดยเฉพาะฉากที่เธอวาดแล้วลบ วาดแล้วลบจนกระดาษขาด ฉากนั้นเป็นฉากที่ดูแล้วกราบตีนมากๆ
ดิฉันไม่สามารถ “เข้าใจ” อะไรในฉากเหล่านี้ได้เลย แต่รู้สึกว่าแต่ละฉากมันกระตุ้นให้ดิฉันเอามาคิดต่อหรือรู้สึกต่อได้เองตามใจชอบ อย่างนึงที่ดิฉันเอามาจินตนาการต่อเองก็คือ มันทำให้รู้สึกเหมือนกับว่าผู้หญิงคนนี้ต้องคำสาปอะไรบางอย่าง อย่างเช่น ฉากที่เธอขี่จักรยานนั้น ถ้าหากใส่ดนตรีหนุงหนิงเข้าไป มันก็อาจจะทำให้ฉากนี้ดูเป็นฉากขี่จักรยานเล่นเย็นๆใจได้ แต่พอมันใส่เสียงผู้ชายพูดกระซิบชื่อวันเข้าไป มันกลับทำให้รู้สึกถึงความเบื่อหน่ายหรือความซ้ำซากของชีวิต ภาพที่เห็นมันเหมือนเป็นภาพที่จะสื่อถึงความสุขหรือการขี่จักรยานอย่างสบายใจเรื่อยเปื่อยก็ได้ แต่พอมีเสียงประกอบเข้าไป มันกลับทำให้อารมณ์เปลี่ยนไปทันที ฉากที่เธอโยนลูกเทนนิสไม่ไป และอีกหลายฉากก็ทำให้รู้สึกเหมือนกับว่าเธอต้องคำสาปอะไรบางอย่างเช่นกัน
ฉากลบรูปจนกระดาษขาดนั้น ก็ไม่รู้เหมือนกันว่าจุดประสงค์ของคุณทศพลคืออะไร แต่ดิฉันดูฉากนี้แล้วก็นึกถึงพฤติกรรมของตัวเองในบางครั้ง ที่มักจะนึกถึง “เรื่องที่ไม่ควรนึกถึง” หรือนึกถึง “เรื่องที่ทำให้หัวใจตัวเองเจ็บปวด” ซ้ำแล้วซ้ำเล่า ซ้ำแล้วซ้ำเล่า ทั้งๆที่ตัวเองมีอิสระในทุกๆวินาทีที่จะเลือกคิดถึงเรื่องอะไรก็ได้ แต่ในบางครั้งตัวเองก็กลับเลือกที่จะนึกถึงเรื่องที่ทำให้ตัวเองเจ็บปวด เพราะฉะนั้นพอเห็นฉากนี้ในหนัง ดิฉันก็เลยรู้สึกว่าดิฉันจะพยายามไม่ทำอย่างนี้อีกเป็นอันขาด ดิฉันจะไม่พยายามย้ำคิดย้ำทำถึงสิ่งที่ทำให้ตัวเองเจ็บปวดโดยไม่จำเป็นอีกต่อไป ฉากลบรูปจนกระดาษขาดในหนังเรื่องนี้ เป็นฉากที่บาดความรู้สึกของดิฉันอย่างรุนแรงมากกว่าการได้ดูฉากคนกรีดข้อมือตัวเองในหนังหลายๆเรื่อง
การที่ดิฉันไม่เข้าใจฉากแต่ละฉากใน “ผ้าห่ม”, ไม่เข้าใจ ”เนื้อเรื่อง” และไม่เข้าใจ “ความเชื่อมโยงกันของแต่ละฉาก” ใน “ผ้าห่ม” ในการดูรอบแรกนั้น ทำให้ดิฉันกลับรู้สึกมีความสุขกับหนังเรื่องนี้ในแบบที่แตกต่างจากหนังที่ได้ดูโดยทั่วไป มันเหมือนกับว่าฉากแต่ละฉากในหนังเรื่องนี้เปรียบได้กับดาวหนึ่งดวงบนท้องฟ้า การนำฉากแต่ละฉากในหนังเรื่องนี้มาเรียงร้อยเข้าด้วยกันอาจจะเปรียบได้กับการลากจุดเชื่อมโยงระหว่างดาวแต่ละดวงบนท้องฟ้า บางทีคุณทศพลอาจจะจงใจลากจุดเชื่อมระหว่างดาวแต่ละดวงเพื่อให้เกิดเป็นรูป “กลุ่มดาวหมีใหญ่” แต่ดิฉันกลับไม่เข้าใจและไม่เห็น “กลุ่มดาวหมีใหญ่” ที่คุณทศพลตั้งใจวาด แต่ดิฉันก็มีความสุขที่ได้ดูดาวแต่ละดวง หรือฉากแต่ละฉาก และเลือกที่จะนำบางฉากมาโยงเข้าด้วยกันเพื่อเกิดเป็น “กลุ่มดาวชายคู่” แทน หรืออะไรทำนองนี้ และดิฉันเดาว่าถ้าหากดิฉันได้ดูหนังเรื่องนี้รอบสอง ดิฉันก็อาจจะเลือกนำบางฉากมาคิดหรือรู้สึกต่อ และสนุกกับการสร้างเรื่องราวใหม่ๆหรือกลุ่มดาวใหม่ๆขึ้นมาที่แตกต่างไปจากการดูรอบแรก
ดูจากสูจิบัตรแล้ว ถ้าเข้าใจไม่ผิด UNDER THE BLANKET ประกอบด้วยหนังสั้นประมาณ 5 เรื่อง ได้แก่ สกาว, ผ้าห่ม, กระโดด, เกาะเหลา และท้องฟ้าจำลอง ดูแล้วรู้สึกว่า “กระโดด” เป็นหนังที่ทำให้นึกถึงหนังเก่าๆของคุณทศพลมากที่สุด บางทีอาจจะเป็นเพราะว่ามันเป็นเรื่องของเพื่อนๆมหาลัยก็ได้มั้ง
รู้สึกดีที่คุณทศพลลองนำหนังสั้น 5 เรื่องนี้มารวมเป็นเรื่องเดียวกัน เพราะดูแล้วมันทำให้ดิฉันนึกถึงการพยายามทำความเข้าใจกับใครสักคนที่มีหลายๆด้านอยู่ในตัวเอง
I just saw UNDER THE BLANKET (2008, Tossapol Boonsinsukh, A+++++). As for now, I can only say that it is unclassifiable or indescribable for me. The more I try to write about it, the more I feel I unfairly “reduce” the film or the images in the film. UNDER THE BLANKET may not arouse my feelings as strongly as his previous films, but it is still as unforgettable as his previous films. Many scenes in UNDER THE BLANKET have a quality that I like very much. They make me feel free or liberated while watching them. That is not what I feel when I watch most films. Many scenes in UNDER THE BLANKET are not enslaved by storytelling, messages, meanings, or obvious connection to the previous or the next scenes. I mean these scenes may actually tell a story, send a message, carry some meanings or symbols, and have connection to other scenes, but they are not as enslaved by these things as scenes in other films. That’s why I feel free or liberated while I watch most scenes in UNDER THE BLANKET.
It may be totally unrelated, but I want to note that after I saw UNDER THE BLANKET on Friday, I went home to sleep and had a dream that I listened to the song WE’RE ALL ALONE and felt very sad. After I woke up, I cried a lot because of the mysterious sadness lingering from the dream. This song is not in the film, but I wonder if UNDER THE BLANKET had some mysterious effect on my subconscious or not. Is my dream unintentionally caused by some feelings I had while I was watching this film? Maybe not.
This is the video clip of Rita Coolidge singing WE’RE ALL ALONE:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGC29fn8JFU
This is the lyrics:
Outside the rain begins and it may never end
So cry no more on the shore
A dream will take us out to sea
Forever more forever more
Close your eyes and dream
And and you can be with me
'Neath the waves through the caves of hours
Long forgotten now
We're all alone
We're all alone
Close the window
Calm the light
And it will be alright
No need to bother now
Let it out
Let it all begin
Learn how to pretend
Once a story's told
It can't help but grow old
Roses do
Lovers too
So cast your seasons to the wind
And hold me dear
Oh, hold me dear
Close the window
Calm the light
And it will be alright
No need to bother now
Let it out
Let it all begin
All's forgotten now
We're all alone
oh-oh, we're all alone

FAVORITE SONG LYRICS WITH SOME SERIOUS CONTENTS
COPY FROM BIOSCOPE WEBBOARD
http://www.bioscopemagazine.com/smf/index.php?topic=71.120
ตอบคุณ DR. SYNTAX
ถ้าหากให้เลือกระหว่าง JOHNNY DEPP กับ TONY LEUNG ก็เลือก TONY LEUNG ค่ะ เพราะรู้สึกผูกพันกับเขามากกว่า ส่วน JOHNNY DEPP นั้นเป็นนักแสดงที่ดิฉัน “นับถือ” ในฝีมือของเขาค่ะ แต่ไม่ได้รู้สึกผูกพันกับเขามากนัก สาเหตุส่วนหนึ่งอาจจะเป็นเพราะว่าเขามักรับบทเป็นตัวละครที่ทำให้ดิฉันรู้สึก “เหินห่าง” จะมียกเว้นก็เพียงแค่บทของเขาใน THE LIBERTINE (2004, Laurence Dunmore, A+) เท่านั้น ที่ดิฉันรู้สึกผูกพันด้วย

ตอบคุณคนมองหนัง
ได้ฟังเพลงบางเพลงจากอัลบัมชุดมนต์เพลงคาราบาวแล้วจากที่เปิดบนรถไฟฟ้า รู้สึกว่าเพราะมากๆ เลยค่ะ
ปกติดิฉันแทบไม่เคยฟังเพลงที่มีเนื้อหาซีเรียสจริงจังเลย ฟังแต่เพลงไร้สาระเป็นส่วนใหญ่ แต่เมื่อเร็วๆนี้ได้ฟังเพลง AIN’T GOT NO/I GOT LIFE ของ NINA SIMONE จากเว็บบล็อก http://memoriesofthefuture.wordpress.com/ รู้สึกชอบเพลงนี้มากๆ และก็ชอบเนื้อเพลงเพลงนี้มากๆ ก็เลยทำให้อยากลองรวบรวมรายชื่อเพลงที่มีเนื้อหาจริงจังที่ชอบมากๆ ดู

2.PING PONG by STEREOLAB
http://208.65.153.243/watch?v=Qd369Q6BDdk
from the album MARS AUDIAC QUINTET (1994, A+)
it's alright 'cause the historical pattern has shown
how the economical cycle tends to revolve
in a round of decades three stages stand out in a loop
a slump and war then peel back to square one and back for more
bigger slump and bigger wars and a smaller recovery
huger slump and greater wars and a shallower recovery
you see the recovery always comes 'round again
there's nothing to worry for things will look after themselves
it's alright recovery always comes 'round again
there's nothing to worry if things can only get better
there's only millions that lose their jobs and homes and sometimes accents
there's only millions that die in their bloody wars, it's alright
it's only their lives and the lives of their next of kin that they are losing
it's only their lives and the lives of their next of kin that they are losing
it's alright 'cause the historical pattern has shown
how the economical cycle tends to revolve
in a round of decades three stages stand out in a loop
a slump and war then peel back to square one and back for more
bigger slump and bigger wars and a smaller recovery
huger slump and greater wars and a shallower recovery
don't worry be happy things will get better naturally
don't worry shut up sit down go with it and be happy
dum, dum, dum, de dum dum, de duh de duh de dum dum dum... ah ah

3.FEEL NO PAIN
Peformed by Sade
http://208.65.153.243/watch?v=ZDbZHuQJBhE
Mama been laid off
Papa been laid off
My brother's been laid off
For more than two years now
Ooh can't get a job
Billy can't get a job
Ooh they gotta listen to the blues
Help them to strive
Help them to move on
Help them to have some future
Help them to live long
Help them to live life
Help them to smile
Don't let them stay home and listen to the blues
Mama been laid off
Papa been laid off
Billy can't get a job
For too long too long
Don't let them lose
We gotta give them a chance
It's gonna come back on everyone
If you don't make them dance
Don't let them stay home and listen to the blues
There's nothing sacred (why, why, why)
Breathing hatred
We have to face it (why, why, why)
No one can take it
And feel no pain
Mama been laid off
Papa been laid off
My brother's been laid off
For more than two years now
Ooh can't get a job
Billy can't get a job
Ooh they gotta listen to the blues
Help them to strive
Help them to move on
Help them to have some future
Help them to live long
Help them to live life
Help them to smile
Don't let them stay home and listen to the blues
One day we're gonna wake up
And the ghetto's all around
All over my friend
Have you ever seen a man break down
Do you know how that feels
To walk the street with your head held high
Why, why, why
Oh Lord have mercy
Did you ever see a man break down
There's nothing sacred
Breathing hatred
We have to face it
No-one can take it (how can they take that much)
And feel no pain
Oooh, did you ever see a man break down

5.WHEN HEROES GO DOWN
Performed by Suzanne Vega
http://208.65.153.243/watch?v=1zr-f1j7H9A
When heroes go down
They go down fast
So don't expect any time to
Equivocate the past
When heroes go down
They land in flame
So don't expect any slow and careful
Settling of blame
I heard you say
You look out for the feet of clay
That someone will be falling next
Without the chance
For last respects
You feel the disappointment
When heroes go down
Man or woman revealed
You can't expect any kind of mercy
On the battlefield
I heard you say
You look out for the feet of clay
That someone will be falling next
Without the chance for last respects
You feel the disappointment
When heroes go down
Man or woman revealed
Do you show any kind of mercy
On the battlefield?

THE QUEEN (2006, Stephen Frears, A)
6.NOTHING HAS BEEN PROVED
Performed by Dusty Springfield
http://208.65.153.243/watch?v=IZip7Y_IDqQ
Mandy's in the papers 'cause she tried to go to Spain
She'll soon be in the dock and in the papers once again
Vicki's got her story about the mirror and the cane
It may be false, it may be true
But nothing has been proved
Stephen's in his dressing-gown now, breakfasting alone
Too sick to eat, he's on his feet and to the telephone
The police inspector soothes him with his sympathetic tone
It may be false, it may be true
But nothing has been proved
In the house a resignation
Guilty faces, every one
Christine's fallen out with Lucky
Johnny's got a gun
"Please Please Me"'s number one
(It's a scandal! It's a scandal! Such a scandal!)
Now, Stephen's in the dock for spending money that was earned
By Christine, and the prosecution says that money burned
A hole in Stephen's pocket, for expensive sins he yearned
It may be false, it may be true
But nothing has been proved
In the news the suicide note
In the court an empty space
Even Mandy's looking worried
Christine's pale and drawn
"Please Please Me"'s number one
(It's a scandal! It's a scandal! Such a scandal!)
Last night he wrote these words to his friend:
"Sorry about the mess
I'm guilty 'til proved innocent
In the public eye and press"
The funeral's very quiet because all his friends have fled
They may be false, they may be true
They've all got better things to do
They may be false, they may be true
But nothing has been proved
Nothing
Nothing has been proved
เพลงนี้เป็นเพลงประกอบภาพยนตร์เรื่อง SCANDAL (1989, Michael Caton-Jones) แต่ดิฉันคิดว่าเพลงนี้ยังสามารถใช้ประกอบเรื่องเหล่านี้ได้ด้วย
6.1 THE LOST HONOR OF KATHARINA BLUM, OR HOW VIOLENCE DEVELOPS AND WHERE IT CAN LEAD (1975, Volker Schloendorff + Margarethe von Trotta, A+)
6.2 THE MURDER OF MARY PHAGAN (1988, William Hale, A+)

7.MISS SARAJEVO
Performed by U2 + Luciano Pavarotti
http://208.65.153.243/watch?v=mPTMpVgypPk
Is there a time for keeping your distance
A time to turn your eyes away
Is there a time for keeping your head down
For getting on with your day
Is there a time for kohl and lipstick
A time for curling hair
Is there a time for high street shopping
To find the right dress to wear
Here she comes
Heads turn around
Here she comes
To take her crown
Is there a time to run for cover
A time for kiss and tell
Is there a time for different colours
Different names you find it hard to spell
Is there a time for first communion
A time for East Seventeen
Is there a time to turn to Mecca
Is there time to be a beauty queen
Here she comes
Beauty plays the crown
Here she comes
Surreal in her crown
Dici che il fiume
Trova la via al mare
E come il fiume
Giungerai a me
Oltre i confini
E le terre assetate
Dici che come fiume
Come fiume...
L'amore giungerà
L'amore...
E non so più pregare
E nell'amore non so più sperare
E quell'amore non so più aspettare
[Translation of the above]
You say that the river
finds the way to the sea
and like the river
you will come to me
beyond the borders
and the dry lands
You say that like a river
like a river...
the love will come

Performed by Chumbawamba

Up behind the bus stop in the toilets off the street
There are traces of a killing on the floor beneath your feet
Mixed in with the piss and beer are bloodstains on the floor
From the boy who got his head kicked in a night or two before.
Homophobia-the worst disease
You can’t love who you want to love in times like these
Homophobia-the worst disease
You can’t love who you want to love in times like these
In the pubs, clubs and burger bars, breeding pens for pigs,
Alcohol, testosterone and ignorance and fists
Packs of hunting animals roam across the town
They find an easy victim and they punch him to the ground.
Homophobia-the worst disease
You can’t love who you want to love in times like these
Homophobia-the worst disease
You can’t love who you want to love in times like these
The siren of the ambulance, the deadpan of the cops,
Chalk to mark the outline where the boy dropped
Beware the holy trinity: church and state and law
For every death the virus gets more deadly than before.

Outside
Gets inside
Through her skin.
I've been out before
But this time it's much safer in.
Last night in the sky,
Such a bright light.
My radar send me danger
But my instincts tell me to keep
Breathing,
("Out, in, out, in, out, in...")
Breathing it in,
Breathing my mother in,
Breathing my beloved in,
Breathing it in,
Breathing her nicotine,
Breathing it in,
Breathing the fall-out in,
Out in, out in, out in, out in.
We've lost our chance.
We're the first and the last, ooh,
After the blast.
Chips of Plutonium
Are twinkling in every lung.
I love my
Beloved, ooh,
All and everywhere,
Only the fools blew it.
You and me
Knew life itself is
Breathing,
("Out, in, out, in, out...")
Breathing it in,
Breathing my mother in,
Breathing my beloved in,
Breathing it in,
Breathing her nicotine,
Breathing it in,
Breathing the fall-out in,
Out in, out in, out in, out in,
Out in, out in, out in, out...

The calling card of a nuclear bomb is the blinding flash that is far more dazzling than any light on earth--brighter even than the sun itself--and it is by the duration of this flash that we are able to determine the size("What are we going to do without?") of the weapon.
After the flash a fireball can be seen to rise, sucking up under it the debris, dust and living things around the area of the explosion, and as this ascends, it soon becomes recognisable as the familiar "mushroom cloud". As a demonstration of the flash duration test let's try and count the number of seconds for the flash emitted by a very small bomb; then a more substantial, medium-sized bomb; and finally, one of our very powerful, "high-yield" bombs

Performed by Sinead O’Connor

Margareth Thatcher on TV
Shocked by the deaths that took place in Beijing
It seems strange that she should be offended
The same orders are given by her
I've said this before now
You said I was childish and you'll say it now
"Remember what I told you
If they hated me they will hate you"
England's not the mythical land of Madame George and roses
It's the home of police who kill black boys on mopeds
And I love my boy and that's why I'm leaving
I don't want him to be aware that there's
Any such thing as grieving
Young mother down at Smithfield
5 am, looking for food for her kids
In her arms she holds three cold babies
And the first word that they learned was "please"
These are dangerous days
To say what you feel is to dig your own grave
"Remember what I told you
If you were of the world they would love you"
England's not the mythical land of Madame George and roses
It's the home of police who kill black boys on mopeds
And I love my boy and that's why I'm leaving
I don't want him to be aware that there's

ตอบคุณ DR. SYNTAX
ถ้าหากให้เลือกระหว่าง JOHNNY DEPP กับ TONY LEUNG ก็เลือก TONY LEUNG ค่ะ เพราะรู้สึกผูกพันกับเขามากกว่า ส่วน JOHNNY DEPP นั้นเป็นนักแสดงที่ดิฉัน “นับถือ” ในฝีมือของเขาค่ะ แต่ไม่ได้รู้สึกผูกพันกับเขามากนัก สาเหตุส่วนหนึ่งอาจจะเป็นเพราะว่าเขามักรับบทเป็นตัวละครที่ทำให้ดิฉันรู้สึก “เหินห่าง” จะมียกเว้นก็เพียงแค่บทของเขาใน THE LIBERTINE (2004, Laurence Dunmore, A+) เท่านั้น ที่ดิฉันรู้สึกผูกพันด้วย

from the album MARS AUDIAC QUINTET (1994, A+)
it's alright 'cause the historical pattern has shown
how the economical cycle tends to revolve
in a round of decades three stages stand out in a loop
a slump and war then peel back to square one and back for more
bigger slump and bigger wars and a smaller recovery
huger slump and greater wars and a shallower recovery
you see the recovery always comes 'round again
there's nothing to worry for things will look after themselves
it's alright recovery always comes 'round again
there's nothing to worry if things can only get better
there's only millions that lose their jobs and homes and sometimes accents
there's only millions that die in their bloody wars, it's alright
it's only their lives and the lives of their next of kin that they are losing
it's only their lives and the lives of their next of kin that they are losing
it's alright 'cause the historical pattern has shown
how the economical cycle tends to revolve

don't worry shut up sit down go with it and be happy

Mama been laid off
Papa been laid off
My brother's been laid off
For more than two years now
Ooh can't get a job
Billy can't get a job
Ooh they gotta listen to the blues
Help them to strive
Help them to move on
Help them to have some future
Help them to live long
Help them to live life
Help them to smile
Don't let them stay home and listen to the blues
Mama been laid off
Papa been laid off
Billy can't get a job
For too long too long
Don't let them lose
We gotta give them a chance
It's gonna come back on everyone
If you don't make them dance
Don't let them stay home and listen to the blues
There's nothing sacred (why, why, why)
Breathing hatred
We have to face it (why, why, why)
No one can take it
And feel no pain
Mama been laid off
Papa been laid off
My brother's been laid off

Help them to live long
Help them to live life
Help them to smile
Don't let them stay home and listen to the blues
One day we're gonna wake up
And the ghetto's all around
All over my friend
Have you ever seen a man break down
Do you know how that feels
To walk the street with your head held high
Why, why, why
Oh Lord have mercy
Did you ever see a man break down
There's nothing sacred
Breathing hatred
We have to face it
No-one can take it (how can they take that much)
And feel no pain
Oooh, did you ever see a man break down

When heroes go down
They go down fast
So don't expect any time to
Equivocate the past
When heroes go down
They land in flame
So don't expect any slow and careful
Settling of blame
I heard you say
You look out for the feet of clay
That someone will be falling next
Without the chance
For last respects
You feel the disappointment
When heroes go down
Man or woman revealed
You can't expect any kind of mercy
On the battlefield
I heard you say
You look out for the feet of clay
That someone will be falling next
Without the chance for last respects
You feel the disappointment
When heroes go down
Man or woman revealed
Do you show any kind of mercy

Performed by Dusty Springfield
http://208.65.153.243/watch?v=IZip7Y_IDqQ
Mandy's in the papers 'cause she tried to go to Spain
She'll soon be in the dock and in the papers once again
Vicki's got her story about the mirror and the cane
It may be false, it may be true
But nothing has been proved
Stephen's in his dressing-gown now, breakfasting alone
Too sick to eat, he's on his feet and to the telephone
The police inspector soothes him with his sympathetic tone
It may be false, it may be true
But nothing has been proved
In the house a resignation
Guilty faces, every one
Christine's fallen out with Lucky
Johnny's got a gun
"Please Please Me"'s number one
(It's a scandal! It's a scandal! Such a scandal!)
Now, Stephen's in the dock for spending money that was earned
By Christine, and the prosecution says that money burned
A hole in Stephen's pocket, for expensive sins he yearned
It may be false, it may be true
But nothing has been proved
In the news the suicide note
In the court an empty space
Even Mandy's looking worried
Christine's pale and drawn
"Please Please Me"'s number one
(It's a scandal! It's a scandal! Such a scandal!)
Last night he wrote these words to his friend:
"Sorry about the mess
I'm guilty 'til proved innocent
In the public eye and press"
The funeral's very quiet because all his friends have fled
They may be false, they may be true
They've all got better things to do
They may be false, they may be true
But nothing has been proved
Nothing
Nothing has been proved

Is there a time for keeping your distance
A time to turn your eyes away
Is there a time for keeping your head down
For getting on with your day
Is there a time for kohl and lipstick
A time for curling hair
Is there a time for high street shopping
To find the right dress to wear
Here she comes
Heads turn around
Here she comes
To take her crown
Is there a time to run for cover
A time for kiss and tell
Is there a time for different colours
Different names you find it hard to spell
Is there a time for first communion
A time for East Seventeen
Is there a time to turn to Mecca
Is there time to be a beauty queen
Here she comes
Beauty plays the crown
Here she comes
Surreal in her crown
Dici che il fiume
Trova la via al mare
E come il fiume
Giungerai a me
Oltre i confini
E le terre assetate
Dici che come fiume
Come fiume...
L'amore giungerà
L'amore...
E non so più pregare
E nell'amore non so più sperare
E quell'amore non so più aspettare

and for that love i don't know how to wait anymore

THE MOTORCYCLE EMPTINESS OF SARA ZEITGEIST
This is my comment in MEMORIES OF THE FUTURE’s blog:
http://memoriesofthefuture.wordpress.com/
I just listened to AIN’T GOT NO, I’VE GOT LIFE, and I think it is very touching. Nina Simone’s voice makes me feel both the hardship of life and the dignity of someone who will not give in to all those pressures in life. The lyrics are great. It is very sad in the beginning, but life-affirming at the end.
If I have to include this song in a film, I think I might use it in the documentary LOVE AND DIANE (2002, Jennifer Dworkin, A+), which is about the difficult lives of a mother and a daughter.
By the way, I'm gradually reading your film reviews in the past. I like what you wrote about BORN IN FLAMES very much. The film seems to be very interesting. So I have quoted something you wrote about this film and posted it on some Thai movie webboards. I do it because I want some DVD vendors in Bangkok to be interested in this film and order this DVD to be sold in Bangkok. I hope you don't mind that I quote your writing to promote this film. I also mention your name and give a link back to your dvdaddict's page.
----------------------------------------------------------------
MEMORIES OF THE FUTURE left a comment in my blog here:
http://celinejulie.wordpress.com/2007/05/10/favorite-korean-ghost-films/#comment-38
This is my reply:
I’m very lucky that the Alliance Francaise in Bangkok had the film print of INDIA SONG. During the past ten years, I saw INDIA SONG once in a mini-theatre in a university in Bangkok, and for the other six times I saw it in the theatre of Alliance Francaise. INDIA SONG was shown there two times in 1997, two times in 2000, and two times in 2004.
As for BEAU TRAVAIL, I saw it four times during the French Film Festival in Bangkok, and I saw it at Alliance Francaise for the fifth viewing.
I’m glad you like Kim Seong-su. He looks great in THE RED SHOES.
Other Korean actors who strawberrize my world include:
(The name of the actor, the year he was born, the name of a movie that he played)
1.Ji Jin-hee (1971) – THE OLD GARDEN (2006, Im Sang-soo, A+)

3.Kim Kang-woo (1978) – The Beast and the Beauty (2005, Lee Gye-byeok, B+)

4.Oh Ji-ho (1976) – La Belle (2000, Yeo Kyun-dong)
http://www.hancinema.net/korean_Oh_Ji-ho.php
I don’t know if you will like LA BELLE CAPTIVE (A+) or not. However, I will try to write about my feelings for this film.
I have seen this film only once. I apologize in advance if I remember anything wrong or misunderstand anything. My memory is very unreliable.
I think this film is not as exciting as LAST YEAR AT MARIENBAD, TRANS-EUROP-EXPRESS (1966, Alain Robbe-Grillet, A+), or EDEN AND AFTER (1970, Alain Robbe-Grillet, A+), but it is still very interesting. I think the emotional flow in this film doesn’t run as smoothly as the other three films. I think that LAST YEAR AT MARIENBAD, EDEN AND AFTER, and LA BELLE CAPTIVE seem to have fragmented storytelling. But though the storytelling in these three films are fragmented, the emotional flow still runs smoothly in LAST YEAR AT MARIENBAD and EDEN AND AFTER, but in the case of LA BELLE CAPTIVE, it seems as if the emotional flow is also fragmented, too.
I think that in a mainstream film, there seems to be a certain kind of emotional flow. The emotional flow will swing up or down during the early part of the film. After that it will rise steadily and quickly to the climax point near the end of the movie. However, in EDEN AND AFTER, I seem to experience a few climaxes. There is not only one climax as in most mainstream films, but I feel as if there are three climaxes—the first in the poisoning scene in CAFE EDEN, the second in the chasing scene in the factory, the third in Tunisia. This is because there seems to be more than one story being told in EDEN AND AFTER.
But in LA BELLE CAPTIVE, I feel as if the emotional flow rarely goes high. The story in LA BELLE CAPTIVE seems to be restarted again and again, but most of the stories in this film don't have a chance to go to the climax point, because they end abruptly before they get to that point.
But though this characteristic might make me like LA BELLE CAPTIVE less than other films by ROBBE-GRILLET, I still like this film very much, at least much more than most thrillers by Brian De Palma (Hey, I like De Palma). I think that the difference between LA BELLE CAPTIVE and other Robbe-Grillet's films is a good thing, too. I think that the reason why LA BELLE CAPTIVE is different in this way might be because Robbe-Grillet created LA BELLE CAPTIVE by using Magritte's series of paintings as the starting point. I don't know much about the information behind this film, but there are six paintings by Magritte, all of which are called La Belle Captive. If Robbe-Grillet used many paintings, instead of one painting, as an inspiration for the film, it is no doubt why the film's emotional flow is fragmented. I feel as if Robbe-Grillet didn't want to finish each story inspired by each painting. I feel as if he jumped to another story inspired by another painting before the former one could be told completely.
However, this characteristic is what I both like and dislike in the film. It makes me like this film less than other films by Robbe-Grillet, but it makes this film very different from many other films at the same time. The film seems to surrender to an enormous power by the paintings of Magritte and Edouard Manet. And that's what I don't find in other films concerning paintings.
I'm not sure if the painting in this link by Edouard Manet is the same painting in LA BELLE CAPTIVE or not.

However, there are still many things that I like in LA BELLE CAPTIVE. It is still a film by Robbe-Grillet, so all those questions of who is alive, who is dead, who is half-dead, who is dreaming, who is awake, who is half-awake, who is imagining, who is being imagined—need no answer. I still find that frustation might equal satisfaction in this film. In other films, I might feel frustrated when the mysteries in the films are not solved. But in Robbe-Grillet's films, there will be many mysteries, there will be many clues, and there will be no answer, or there may be too many possible answers. I might feel frustrated at first when the film ends abruptly, leaving all those mysteries unsolved. But after a while, I start to feel as if all those unsolved mysteries were beautiful and colourful gift boxes. I don't know what is the exact gift inside these boxes. I can only guess, and get great pleasure and fun from the guessing. But the fun will end and the pleasure will die whenever I open the box to look what is really inside.
There are still many things I would like to write about LA BELLE CAPTIVE, but I have to go to sleep now.

I just listened to AIN’T GOT NO, I’VE GOT LIFE, and I think it is very touching. Nina Simone’s voice makes me feel both the hardship of life and the dignity of someone who will not give in to all those pressures in life. The lyrics are great. It is very sad in the beginning, but life-affirming at the end.
If I have to include this song in a film, I think I might use it in the documentary LOVE AND DIANE (2002, Jennifer Dworkin, A+), which is about the difficult lives of a mother and a daughter.
By the way, I'm gradually reading your film reviews in the past. I like what you wrote about BORN IN FLAMES very much. The film seems to be very interesting. So I have quoted something you wrote about this film and posted it on some Thai movie webboards. I do it because I want some DVD vendors in Bangkok to be interested in this film and order this DVD to be sold in Bangkok. I hope you don't mind that I quote your writing to promote this film. I also mention your name and give a link back to your dvdaddict's page.

This is my reply:
I’m very lucky that the Alliance Francaise in Bangkok had the film print of INDIA SONG. During the past ten years, I saw INDIA SONG once in a mini-theatre in a university in Bangkok, and for the other six times I saw it in the theatre of Alliance Francaise. INDIA SONG was shown there two times in 1997, two times in 2000, and two times in 2004.
As for BEAU TRAVAIL, I saw it four times during the French Film Festival in Bangkok, and I saw it at Alliance Francaise for the fifth viewing.
I’m glad you like Kim Seong-su. He looks great in THE RED SHOES.
Other Korean actors who strawberrize my world include:

1.Ji Jin-hee (1971) – THE OLD GARDEN (2006, Im Sang-soo, A+)

I don’t know if you will like LA BELLE CAPTIVE (A+) or not. However, I will try to write about my feelings for this film.
I have seen this film only once. I apologize in advance if I remember anything wrong or misunderstand anything. My memory is very unreliable.
I think this film is not as exciting as LAST YEAR AT MARIENBAD, TRANS-EUROP-EXPRESS (1966, Alain Robbe-Grillet, A+), or EDEN AND AFTER (1970, Alain Robbe-Grillet, A+), but it is still very interesting. I think the emotional flow in this film doesn’t run as smoothly as the other three films. I think that LAST YEAR AT MARIENBAD, EDEN AND AFTER, and LA BELLE CAPTIVE seem to have fragmented storytelling. But though the storytelling in these three films are fragmented, the emotional flow still runs smoothly in LAST YEAR AT MARIENBAD and EDEN AND AFTER, but in the case of LA BELLE CAPTIVE, it seems as if the emotional flow is also fragmented, too.
