I’ve just returned from Krakow. Basically, it was amazing vacations which worth another large post. I’m about to start it in a few days, and being under a great impression of the trip it is not easy to arrange all thoughts, photos, feelings and complete the post. However, I’ve already uploaded some of photos to a new gallery topic – Krakow vacations, May 2007. It is not a quick process because I have to sort a 2 gigabytes media I’ve shot on my new photo camera.

While I’m not get used to a working life pace after being on vacations, I’m little bit lazy, and allow to myself watching a video. Yesterday, we had a couple of hours before going to bed, and I chose a film which title I had heard lots of times but I’d never seen it. The film was Requiem for a dream. It was a one more indelible impression of the month. I don’t know what exactly authors wanted to say, but I understood it as a film about addiction, loneliness and pain. And of course about willfulness.
[This paragraph is for that people who have seen it]
There are few things I liked about this film the most. First thing is the possible difference in understanding of the story idea. There are many vectors where the action develops. For somebody the main idea could lay just in serious harm of drugs and dangerous diet pills. Another start blaming the irresponsible doctors who caused a lot of pain. For somebody the main character is mother (there are three mothers – lonely, imagined, and “ideal” parent), and everything are related with them. Also, there are love and friendship.
The second thing is the tension which is permanently intensifying without any relief till the end. There are no usual Hollywood happy end, but such story couldn’t have it. This film provokes spending many days in thinking.
Finally I like soundtracks to the film, it is very simple but exactly what that film needed to be a drama.

If you want to be free, try not to be addicted person as much as you can, and don’t forget your old parents!
