The flimsiest of foundations

In: Rumination

0 comments

I just found a tiny bug, a baby cockroach, in my friend’s cabinet, and instinctively squashed it with a napkin.

 

So, too, can someone or something squash me in an instant.

 

We nestle away in lees of safety, adorn ourselves in houses of comfort, live a grand illusion, when we exist on the flimsiest of foundations, bound to fate and the seemingly blind, indiscriminate will of the universe.

Synecdoche, New York – Charlie Kaufman

In: Pithy Movie Reviews

0 comments

 

Simply put: one of the best films of the aughts. Art. Truthful. (‘Lies that tell the truth.’) A few scenes veritably (late-)Dostoevskian in their cruel irony, degradation, and pathos. A keen eye for the tragedy of bathos. One returns to it repeatedly and discovers new truths.

 

Redemptive? Not sure. Is life redemptive?


A-

 

  

* ‘Lies that tell the truth.’ It was not Pablo Picasso who first made this remark, but his acquaintance Jean Cocteau. Picasso seems to have appropriated it. Who knows whether Cocteau thought of it independently. It’s unlikely that he is the first to utter it in human history.

I seem to live in a world that cares nothing for literature or the life of the mind. Money is the unchallenged lord of this world— How can one go on?

Show your support by liking FWIW on FB and/or G+, where I post something worthwhile (illuminating, informative, poetic, comic, tragic, usefully irreverent, captivatingly absurd) sporadically, whenever the mood strikes. . . You never know what you're going to get, but if I'm doing things right, whatever it is should ultimately enrich rather than detract from your life.
