    Parthenope

    ★★★

    “Il desiderio è un mistero e il sesso è il suo funerale”

    Una donna di inafferrabile bellezza, bellezza che maledice ogni uomo ma che finisce per maledire se stessa.
    Trovo la presenza di grandi momenti di silenzio perfetti per metabolizzare e assimilare quelli che sono personaggi complessi, caratteri sfaccettati e da interpretare.
    Il tema del silenzio è poi ripreso spesso, ogni volta accompagnato da un certo peso, una certa intellettualità (“al nord si sta in silenzio”), poco è messo davanti…

    Whiplash

    ★★★★★

    this movie perfectly encapsulates the dynamics that people (and very often men) have with expectations, obsession, other dominant male figures. Knowing it’s not right and it’s not healthy while so dependently searching for approval, understanding and giving up one’s innocence to become a cocky, arrogant and confident master at its own craft. Is it worth it? 
    How and Why does it get to this point? 
    Perhaps the question is how does it NOT get to this point, how can people not constantly strive for greatness, how can people not violently look for perfection, how can people be okay with doing a “Good Job”?
