Portmanteau #4: O Sonho de Cesare

Thursday, September 21st, 2006

Dessa vez, selecionei trechos de alguns filmes mudos do início do século XX e montei uma pequena história. O nome desse vídeo é “O sonho de Cesare” - Cesare é o assassino manipulado através de hipnotismo pelo Dr. Caligari, no filme “O Gabinete do Dr. Caligari”, de Robert Wiene, 1920. Faço assim uma homenagem ao cinema e ao mesmo tempo, coloco diversas linguagens do audiovisual simultaneamente, cada uma com seus ruídos de imagem e com seu modo de impressão da luz.
Espero que gostem.

Notinha: O “anel da primavera”, eclipse parcial criado pelo encontro do sol e da lua, será na sexta-feira, dia 22, pouco depois do amanhecer; anuncia o início da estação das flores e os dias voltarão a ser mais longos que as noites. Que coisa poética. Viajei nas palavras mesmo, né?

Talking Heads - Once In A Lifetime

And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house,
with a beautiful Wife
And you may ask yourself
-well…how did I get here?

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the moneys gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

And you may ask yourself
How do I work this?
And you may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful house!
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wife!

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the moneys gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

Same as it ever was…same as it ever was…same as it ever was…
Same as it ever was…same as it ever was…same as it ever was…
Same as it ever was…same as it ever was…

Water dissolving…and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Carry the water at the bottom of the ocean
Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean!

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/in the silent water
Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground.

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the moneys gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

And you may ask yourself
What is that beautiful house?
And you may ask yourself
Where does that highway go?
And you may ask yourself
Am I right? …am I wrong?
And you may tell yourself
My god!…what have I done?

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/in the silent water
Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground.

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the moneys gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

Same as it ever was…same as it ever was…same as it ever was…
Same as it ever was…same as it ever was…same as it ever was…
Same as it ever was…same as it ever was…

Lumiére reloaded

Monday, September 18th, 2006

40 international directors were asked to make a short film using the original Cinematographe invented by the Lumière Brothers, working under conditions similar to those of 1895.
There were three rules:
1. The film could be no longer than 52 seconds.
2. No synchronized sound was permitted.
3. No more than three takes.

“I do indeed think that cinema is mortal. There is a lot of evidence already that it is dying on its feet.”

L’Arrivée d’un Train à la Ciotat - Irmãos Lumiére, 1895

L’Arrivée d’un train en gare de la Ciotat - John Woo, 2006

É um hoax. Não foi John Woo que fez esse filme, mas é uma idéia curiosa.

Belo Horizonte

Acabei de voltar de Belo Horizonte, onde fui lecionar um curso de extensão de direção de arte em cinema. Uma semana maravilhosa. De volta a São Paulo, tempo nublado.

Pequenas notas:
Zone Alarm é ainda o melhor firewall e melhor antivírus do planeta.

Eu não costumo postar nada que se refira a religião, política ou futebol porque respeito as crenças e fés alheias (mesmo a fé religiosa que alguns têm em times de futebol ou os que tratam certos políticos como deuses) e porque detesto polêmica.

Me perdoem, não deu pra resistir.

Assistam agora o desenho que eu acredito que serviu de inspiração:
