Sly It’s interesting that “Sly” went in quite a different direction compared to the documentary series “Arnold.” While Schwarzy’s story was divided into three episodes each covering one (chronological) side of his personality, Sylvester Stallone decided on one, somewhat unusual, documentary film. “Sly” also starts in a somewhat unusual way, because we find Stallone as…
Arnold I’m quite sure of one thing, and that’s that Arnold Schwar… Schwarz… Shravzen… well you already know who I mean… he surely influenced how the documentary about his life would go, by the principle “what I did badly, we’ll only minimally cover, and what’s good, well we’ll really spread out on that.” And despite…
Cuker Laza As far as I’m concerned, Živojin Petrović’s latest book “Cuker Laza” is perhaps his best work so far. Previously we tried to discover the mystery behind the murder of the richest Belgrade woman ever, and then we saw the life and thoughts of a man who wanted to harness the Sun in service…
Nothing is Funny Nothing is funny… I mean, it is funny, but in that sad, ironic, sarcastic, sour (and bitter), realistic way… That’s what emanates from Bojan Ljubenović’s book “Nothing is Funny.” While we read the stranger’s letters about how he experiences some unusual (but for us ordinary and everyday) situations in Serbia, as well…
Serbia, God Help You The fictitious stranger told (wrote?) us through letters to his people how unusual Serbia is to him. No doubt, we recognized ourselves in most of those letters (“Almost all?” – note from subconscious). Is there anything else to tell about us and our mentality in a humorous way? It turned out…
Katanagatari There are some series that are truly specific in every respect, and because of that draw you into their world. One such series is “Katanagatari” (or in translation “Sword Story” or “Tale of Swords”). Meet an unusual duo wandering Japan somewhere during the Edo period (1603-1868). Togame is a self-proclaimed “Strategist,” one eccentric and…
Siddhartha I’ve already (long ago) mentioned that, as we change, grow up and mature, we also discover some new dimension and messages in books and films that were previously hidden from us. However, it also seems there’s some truth that some works simply need to be read as “older,” for you to truly catch (or…
The Last Unicorn The novel “The Last Unicorn” by writer Peter S. Beagle (winner of numerous awards for the fantasy genre) is, like the titular being, a very unusual creature. You start with light reading and, as time passes, you realize the book is increasingly drawing you into its world and enchanting you, and along…
Warrior of the Sun I couldn’t help but (bitterly) smile a bit at the fates of scientists and innovators. It seems they struggle “against windmills” their whole lives. This especially applies to discoveries that can be in service of all humanity. Tesla, for example, wanted to provide everyone with unlimited (and cheap) energy (electricity) and…
Oppenheimer “Prometheus stole fire from the gods and gave it to man. For this he was chained to a rock and tortured for all eternity” (opening sentence of the film) Science and its development is what indebted humanity and enabled it to progress and initiate revolutions of smaller or larger scales. Scientists have always…
