A Farewell to This Life, and All Its Ghosts

A Farewell to This Life, and All Its Ghosts
Last May, when a Cannes Film Festival jury headed by Tim Burton awarded the Palme d’Or to “Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives,” there was widespread surprise and a few eruptions of outrage . The film — from the Thai director Apichatpong Weerasethakul , who has become a familiar presence on the festival circuit over the past decade — is unquestionably strange, at times mystifyingly …

Kermode Uncut: Cannes 2010 Day 4 – So what’s good this year?

On a diet of about four films per day including Mike Leigh’s Another Year, Gregg Araki’s Kaboom, the cultish possessed car tyre movie Rubber, Woody Allen’s You Will Meet a Talll Dark Stranger, and Hideo Nakata’s Chatroom, I can’t argue that most food groups aren’t being served this year, but who is looking like Chef of the Cannes kitchen at the halfway point?

May anyone fluent in french read over this paragraph and proofread for errors?

Quand je vais en France avec ma famille, nous voudrons voyager à la petit ville de Cannes. Nous voulons aller là, parce que les temps dans le Sud de la France sont doux et ensoleillé. Il est au bord de la très jolie mer d’azure aussi. En plus, nous avons toujours voulu voir l’annuaire festival de film spectaculaire là. Nous passerons deux semaines en Cannes, au printemps. Nouse logerons dans un hotel bon marché, mais confortable et assez élégant. Notre chambre sera sur le cinqiuème étage ainsi nous pouvons avoir une vue panoramique et pittoresque de la mer. Nous voulons une chambre plus spacieuse, confortable, et calme. Une chambre sera suffisante pour ma relativement petit famille de quatre. Mais, dans la chambre, nous devrions au moins deux grand lits (deux personnes par lit). La chambre aura une salle de bains privée avec une douche, une toilette, et deux lavabos, parce que la salle de bains peut devenir très bondé quelquefois. Un jacuzzi serait bien: ma mere aime détendre dans les environnements du spa. Nous demanderons également la climatisation. Il peut devenir très chaud à cette period de l’année, spécialement dans cette région de la France, et une chambre chaude serait inconfortable pour chacun! En particulier mon père et moi—il sue très facilement, et je ne peux pas dormir facilement quand il fait chaud. La telephone et la télévision par cable sont necessities, bien sûr. Ainsi, s’il pleut, nous resterons dans notre chambre et relaxer par régarder de la télé, spécialement la chaîne de tourists pour obtenir des renseignments utile, comme des attractions attractions tout près. Mon frère besoin du telephone parce que il a une petite amie—il lui parle trop! Quant à moi, je demande seulement le service dans les chambers. Mon famille est très malpropre, et je suis paresseuse.

MERCI

Fellow Atheists and Agnostics, isn’t this just ……. powerful? What are your thoughts on this?

This song is a sort of a vague petition to all “definitions” of God/Gods.
It is originally written in my language Hindi. But after it overpowered my senses and …. moved me… I thought it would be only appropriate to share it with my friends on Y!A. It is from a movie called “New York” which was based on terrorism and how the western world’s “counter-attack” turned into a sorts of terrorism itself with USA introducing the infamous Patriot Act under the Bush administration. And intriguing tale that captures the dilemma of Terrorists and the “Good Villain CIA/FBI agents” the movie received a tear-eyed standing ovation at Cannes film festival. Its one of those films that makes us think “who are WE as human beings to make judgements for other human beings who are no different from us. Who are as vulnerable as us! Who eat, sleep, celebrate, smile, cry, befriend, study, fool around, love and ofcourse….. hate just like us!!!” I hope I receive some interesting responses. It would be nice to know that there are people around the globe that think like me…

The song is called “Come my shadow”. Here’s the line-by-line translation:
[Chorus]
come o my shadow, come let’s go somewhere else
every thinking is like a closed lane here, there are locks to every heart here
come o my shadow, come let’s go somewhere else
every thinking is like a closed lane here, there are locks to every heart here

If it was possible I would destroy/rub my name
let me become just a human being and destroy every other identity
when the first rain showers it showers on everyone’s house
only man asks for the names, nothing else.

write on everybody’s head, write on everybody’s hand
no one should be less or more, give one name to everyone
write on everybody’s head, write on everybody’s hand
no one should be less or more, give one name to everyone

[Echoes]
give one name to everyone, give only one name to everyone……

[Chorus]
come o my shadow, come let’s go somewhere else
every thinking is like a closed lane here, there are locks to every heart here
come o my shadow, come let’s go somewhere else
every thinking is like a closed lane here, there are locks to every heart here

don’t make parts of this one land o friend
when everyone are human being (same) then don’t differentiate them
keep as much as affection to your own people
but don’t hate me o friend

color everyone’s face, color everyone’s body
no one should be black or white, give one color to everyone!
color everyone’s face, color everyone’s body
no one should be black or white, give one color to everyone!

[Echoes]
give one color to everyone, give only one color to everyone……

[Chorus]
come o my shadow, come let’s go somewhere else
every thinking is like a closed lane here, there are locks to every heart here
come o my shadow, come let’s go somewhere else
every thinking is like a closed lane here, there are locks to every heart here
