elemental

Por si no fueran pocos los problemas que ya tenemos, luchando unos contra otros por excusas (que no razones) que ni siquiera pueden tocar los que las argumentan, ahora la tierra se revela cruel como ella sola.
En este contexto, quiero rendir homenaje en este post a una iniciativa que me inspiró y motivó (junto con otras mil razones) a perseguir lo que ahora estoy haciendo. Un placer escucharle en su día y tremenda admiración por Alejandro Aravena (en aquel momento me deseó suerte!) que saltó de Harvard al housing para los que más lo necesitan en Santiago de Chile, y que más que nunca hoy se repite. Cómo hacer arquitectura para las personas, no para los arquitectos.

shutter island


The thing that bothers me the most about my no-life is that I can´t do the one think I like the most, that is going to the movies. When I had a life, I did at least once a week and now I have to convince myself that I can stop my work for a couple of hours and sit to watch a movie in a theatre. And when I do I can´t write my impessions because I do not have the time. How is it that there is no post for Avatar or even worse, for Inglourious Basterds? Well, that needs to change.
So this ¨new life¨ back to my cinema addiction starts with Sr Scorsese and his Shutter Island. I don´t want to ruin the ending, I won´t reveal any of it but I have to say that I was really confused (and disturbed) when I left the theatre. I must be a really twisted person when I thought that the ending was open to an interpretation, so as soon as I got home I searched for people´s opinion about it in imdb. I found that there were some others in the same situation, but there is actually a one and only ending if we stay loyal to the book (which I didn´t read). The ending was, of course, the opposite of the one I decided I was picking on the train going back home.
Even now I question if Scorsese wanted that open interpretation or not. Is it about not everything is what it seems to be... or the exact opposite?

P.S: The story reminded me in many ways of a really good book: ¨los renglones torcidos de Dios¨.
