Pulp Fiction

I don't really know how can I have spent twenty two years (and a half) of my life not having seen such a puzzle-script turned into a movie... one day, hopefully not that far, I will write a script that will come dangerously close to this masterpiece.

Until then, remember...

"Ezequiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides with the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and good will shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon those with great vengeance and with furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know that my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

- "Pulp Fiction", Quentin Tarantino (1994)

"...now I hear there's a train, it's coming on down the line, it's yoursif you hurry, you've got still enough time, and you don't need no ticket, and you don't pay no fee, because that was the river, and this is the Sea!"

Wherever I May Roam

...and the earth becomes my throne
I adapt to the unknown
under wandering stars I've grown
by myself but not alone I ask no one
and my ties are severed clean
the less I have the more I gain
off the beaten path I reign
rover wanderer nomad vagabond
call me what you will
but I'll take my time anywhere
I'm free to speak my mind anywhere
and I'll never mind anywhere
anywhere I may roam
where I lay my head is home...

- "Wherever I May Roam", Metallica.

I fucking love life, THIS life.-

Breakfast At Tiffany's

"... I don't have any right to give it a name: it'll have to wait to be someone's cat. We met one day by the river, but we don't belong to each other. He's independent, as I am. I don't want to own anything until I find somewhere where I'll be in my place and things will be in their place. I'm still not sure about where's that place but I know how does it look like [...] if I found a place where I felt like I do in Tiffany's I'd buy some furniture and give the cat a name"

"How can I know where will I be living tomorrow? That's why I told them to write Traveller"

"... those last weeks [...] appear blurred in my memory, maybe because our mutual comprehension reached that wonderful place where you communicate more often with silence than with words..."

"...but Buenos Aires is even better, it's not Tiffany's but it's quite close..."

"Holly lives in the permanent provisionality, without past, not wanting to belong to anything or anyone, feeling foreigner or exiled anywhere"

- "Breakfast At Tiffany's", Truman Capote.

Kysel II

He always looked for the most in everything he did. The insuperable, the farther beyond, the unreachable. Sometimes he enjoyed the feeling of believing that he was actually looking for perfection because the echo of that sentence in his head gave the whole thing a pretty interesting touch and it seemed to justify almost anything in such an absolute way. “You’re late”, he could imagine Alicia saying. “Yes, well, I let the trains go by because they weren’t perfect enough to take”. It wasn’t that either. In fact, he wasn’t looking for anything at all, he was just hoping to find something that could allow him to give up believing he was looking for something, but, on the other hand, finishing his “looking for”, or his “hoping to find”, would mean he’d be in the end of a certain path… and he didn’t want to finish any path. He wanted to get to know them. If he didn’t think too closely of all these things it took him a while to understand it all. And through these existential tongue twisters passed by most of his days, probably all of them.

Fragments I

"... human beings are designed to fall in love but not to remain in love..."

"... and four of them will keep on meeting once a year in a luxury restaurant to tell each other, with a bottle of a wine called Reproach between them, that there was a time when they crowned themselves as kings in a playground where they won twelve World Cups, where they boarded imaginary ships..."

"... emotionally weak people seek shelter in routine..."
