Faust “If we meet someone who owes us gratitude, we immediately remember it. How many times, however, have we met someone to whom we owe gratitude, and we didn’t remember it” – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Ah, Heinrich Faust… for friends, Faust… for pupils and students for whom it was required reading, known as…
Be Useful “First of all, rest is for babies and relaxation is for retired people” – Arnold Schwarzenegger From the moment of its appearance, the book “Be Useful” became an instant bestseller. People would say “of course, it’s Arnold Schwarzenegger, whatever appears with him, it’ll sell, regardless of quality.” However, when you poke around…
Scott Pilgrim Takes Off “Let’s party!” – Lucas Lee Thirteen years have passed since the quirky “Scott Pilgrim vs the World” appeared in cinemas and (in principle) delighted a large number of viewers, and many still call it a small masterpiece. And then someone got the idea to make an animated version of Scott…
Scott Pilgrim vs the World Knives Chau: I’ve never even kissed a guy before. Scott Pilgrim: Hey… me neither. “Scott Pilgrim vs the World” is truly an unusual case in the film world, worthy of (pro)studying. Financially speaking, it turned out to be a miss. On a budget of 60-85 million dollars (hard to find…
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…
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…
Be Water, My Friend “Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water. You put water into a cup; it becomes the cup. You put water into a teapot; it becomes the teapot. You put it into a bottle; it becomes the bottle. Water can flow or it can crash! Be water my friend” – Bruce…
Meditations “The human soul wrongs itself when it allows itself to be overpowered by pleasure or pain” – Marcus Aurelius For those who perhaps don’t know (or went to school long ago and forgot), Marcus Aurelius Antoninus was a Roman emperor in the period from 161 to 180 AD. He’s the last ruler from…
