Acero negro

Un discurso claro, original, potente, y además en rima, candidato a mejor estrofa:

"I got a letter from the government
The other day
I opened and read it
It said they were suckers
They wanted me for their army or whatever
Picture me given' a damn I said never
Here is a land that never gave a damn
About a brother like me and myself
Because they never did
I wasn't wit' it but just that very minute...
It occured to me
The suckers had authority
Cold sweatin' as I dwell in my cell
How long has it been?
They got me sittin' in the state pen
I gotta get out - but that thought was thought before
I contemplated a plan on the cell floor
I'm not a fugitive on the run
But a brother like me begun - to be another one
Public enemy servin' time - they drew the line y'all
To criticize me some crime - never the less
They could not understand that I'm a Black man
And I could never be a veteran
On the strength, the situation's unreal
I got a raw deal, so I'm goin' for the steel"

Transgresión y la fabrica de meados:




"Tom's dream" o Andrei:

El toque Lubitsch

Una vez más me he dejado embrujar por el toque Lubitsch.

Esta vez junto a Charles Brackett, Billy Wilder (guionistas) y Greta Garbo (actriz principal).

Una película que habla de debilidades, de volubilidad y de humanidad.

Os dejo con "Ninotchka" (1939):

Y esto no es postmodernidad, es mucho más poderoso: es sentido del humor, es distanciamento, y lo mejor, es ligereza que no frivolidad. La manera como los ideales flirtean unos con otros en la película se acerca mucho más a la realidad fluctuante en la que vivimos.

Tres ideas entonces quedan en el aire: (auto)crítica, ligereza, volubilidad .

No desperdicieis ninguna ocasión para recuperar esta obra maestra.
