  1. i know what the SS and the 3 reich are. i didn't read Eichmann in Jerusalem because i thought the book's cover was pretty... particularly when you know eichmann was the lieutenant colonel of the SS! as i also know who were people like Amon Goeth, Anne Frank and Leni Riefenstahl or family Bush made some business with nazi and built a part of their fortune because of hitler or Hugo Boss made the nazi uniforms. and i learnt all this stuff by myself. alone. maybe it should be nice to stop to think i'm stupid and talk to me like i was a kid. i know i missed years of school and i've been obligated to stop it when i was 16 years old but i don't think i'm a totally ignorant blonde girl of 24 years old. <_<
  2. this is a classic of silence movie but i feel obligate to post it because i'm deeply in love with it Metropolis (1927) german movie of Fritz Lang plot : The film is set in the massive, sprawling futuristic mega-city Metropolis, where society is divided into two classes: one of planners and management, who live high up in luxurious skyscrapers and one of workers, who live and toil underground. The city was founded, built, and is run by the autocratic Joh Fredersen. Like all the other sons of the managers of Metropolis, Fredersen's son Freder lives a life of luxury. One day, as he is cavorting in the Eternal Gardens, he notices that a beautiful girl has appeared with many children of the workers. She is quickly shooed away, but Freder becomes infatuated with her and follows her down to the workers' underworld. There, he experiences first-hand the horrors of the workers' life, and is alarmed and disgusted when an enormous machine, known as the M-Machine, violently explodes and kills dozens of workers. In the smoke, Freder envisages the M-Machine as Moloch, a monstrous deity to which the hapless workers are sacrificed. Freder returns to the New Tower of Babel, a massive skyscraper owned by his father. There, he confronts his father about the workers' plight and the accident at the M-Machine. Grot, foreman of the Heart Machine, arrives to inform Fredersen of several mysterious maps which have been found in workers' pockets. Because he has not heard both of these bits of news from Josaphat, his clerk, Fredersen fires him, and also orders a spy (credited as the "Thin Man") to tail his son. Outside Fredersen's office, Freder thwarts Josaphat's suicide and persuades him to help with his quest to help the workers. After instructing Josaphat to wait for him at his apartment, Freder descends to the workers' underworld again and meets a worker named Georgy, #11811. Freder persuades Georgy to exchange clothes with him, go to Freder's apartment, and let Freder work at the machine. However, Georgy finds wads of money in the pockets of Freder's clothing and goes instead to Yoshiwara, the city's red-light district, to pursue a girl in an adjacent automobile. While Georgy enjoys a night of wild parties, Freder becomes delirious working at the machine, having never worked a day in his life, and begins having visions of being crucified on the factory clock. Fredersen, wondering about the papers found, decides to consult the scientist Rotwang, his old collaborator, who lives in an old house contained in the lower levels of the city. The two were once friends but became rivals over the love of a woman, Hel, who eventually chose Fredersen. Hel died giving birth to Freder, leaving both Rotwang and Fredersen heartbroken and loathing each other. Rotwang's love for Hel and his hatred of Fredersen remains as strong as ever. After Frederson notices Rotwang now has a mechanical hand, Rotwang introduces Fredersen to a Machine-Man he has constructed, to which he intends to give the image of Hel. When Fredersen, seeks Rotwang's counsel about the papers (despite knowing the Scientist is more than a little insane, he still knows Rotwang is a genius), Rotwang explains that they are maps to the 2,000-year old catacombs that are deep under the lowest levels of the workers' city. The two enter the catacombs and reach the workers' meeting-place. From a gap in the rocks, they observe the beautiful Maria preaching to the workers (with the disguised Freder among them) about the Tower of Babel and about how they must wait for the coming Mediator. Her theme is that the heart must be mediator between the head (the planners) and the hands (the workers). At the end of the sermon, the disguised Freder reveals his true identity to Maria and tells her that he must be the Mediator she has been waiting for. Fredersen, who has turned away in thought, sees none of this; Rotwang, however, sees everything. Fredersen instructs Rotwang to give the machine-man the image of Maria in order to sow discord between her and the workers. Rotwang acquiesces but has ulterior motives, intending to use the machine-man to ruin Fredersen's life. While Fredersen returns to his office, Rotwang chases Maria through a tunnel up into his house, capturing her. Freder, hearing her screams, attempts to rescue her, but he is imprisoned in the house. Rotwang transforms the machine-man into a double of Maria. He then commands it to destroy Fredersen, his city, and his son. Downstairs, a door opens, allowing Freder to ascend a staircase. He encounters Rotwang, who tells him that Maria is not here; rather, she is with Fredersen. When Freder arrives at his father's office, he sees the machine (which now resembles Maria) embracing his father. Freder suffers a mental breakdown and collapses. During his convalescence that night, he hallucinates vividly about passages from the Book of Revelation and death's descent upon the city. Rotwang demonstrates the machine-man's abilities to Fredersen by dressing it up as an erotic dancer at the Yoshiwara, where it drives the sons of the owners into homicidal fits of sexual jealousy. The body count is enormous; meanwhile, the machine-man also visits the workers' city and encourages the workers to rebel. Freder arrives and tells the workers that this Maria is a fraud. The workers instead recognize him as Fredersen's son and attempt to kill him. In the fight, Georgy tries to defend Freder but is accidentally stabbed. The workers storm the M-Machine and destroy the Heart Machine, the city's power generator. This results in a complete hydraulic breakdown. Maria, after Frederson confronts Rotwang about the events of the night, escapes and makes her way to the workers city. The city's reservoirs overflow and inundate the workers' city to the brim, threatening to drown the children of the workers. However, the children are saved by Maria, Freder, and Josaphat in a heroic rescue. The workers, realizing what they have done, and believing that they have killed their children, blame Maria. Under Grot's leadership, they dash to the upper city to pursue the real Maria. They run into the reveling crowds from the Yoshiwara and meet the owners' sons, led by the machine Maria. In the ensuing confusion, Maria escapes and the machine-man is tied to a stake and burned. The flames burn off the likeness of Maria and reveal the machine-man's true form to the crowd. Meanwhile, Rotwang, who has broken down completely and believes her to be Hel, corners Maria in a cathedral. Freder climbs up to the roof and battles Rotwang as Fredersen watches in horror. Rotwang falls to his death, and Freder and Maria return to the street. Freder takes his first step as mediator, overcoming the mutual reluctance of Grot and Fredersen to join hands, thus beginning a period of unity and reform. this scene is one of the best things i saw in my whole life

    and here i knock my head against the wall. so at first i don't know if you talk about your schema/quote or about old men . about the schema, so yes you analysed my feeling, but did i said i didn't know how it worked ??? i just said "i changed". i never asked how. i think i'm able to understand it by myself, don't you think ? and about the old men i asked you which risk ? and you answer me it was studdied in academy, marketing and blablabla XD that's really the answer i expected!
  20. Baby replied to Lolita's post in a topic in Girl Talk
    yes cult, that's really nice to explain me all these things but did i ask explications ? did i say i didn't understand why i changed ? as i couldn't understand something as logic by myself ? i just said, i changed, i didn't ask how it was possible. i know how i changed because it comes from my own desire, of my will. and instead of be spontaneous born, never change and be immortal, everything include brain, and perceptions must change and we don't need a schema to understand it. so for me that's a cheap philosophy (or whatever you want). so yes, thing can change but for me go back to the "oh my god, he's so sexy, i really would like to be his girlfriend" should be a huge regression, as i said i opened my mind because of my will, so i don't understand why now or in the future i would like to close it. it should be totally stupid and senseless. love superficially someone for the things he could represent and not for who he is. beauty is ok when you're not able to communicate with the person, you're superfical and you can spend years without interesting conversation. for me falling in love with with somone because of his beauty is stupid. as i already said, when you're in love with someone you always think he's a beautiful person, so why focus on people's beauty ?

    cult, damn me XD i checked his biography on wikipedia and i "saw" philosopher (don't ask me why, i don't know), i was wrong about his job, drama! but anyway for me, the result is absolutely the same. it was like he said the fire burn and water is wet and you don't need to be physicien to understand it. that's so logic. yes, and about hugh/no hugh my answer should be the same. so because you're a sick person you shouldn't be allow to have a relationship because you could die ? but honestly, i could date with this kind (old or sick) of person without hesitation. death doesn't scare me and by the way, when you see everybody divorced, it's really hard to spend your whole life with someone. if i have the feeling i'm connected to this person, and this love make me grow up, so why not! for me, you're really in love with someone when you don't expect something from him. you just love this person because he is and you don't need to share sex, hugs, family, house, money. you don't need one of these things to be interested by him and you're above your hormones or aspiration of a life style. and i honestly really hope this end, this death could be dark or sad, because without violence, love means nothing, it wasn't there, it was just an illusion. and i really would like to expect i could keep this love in my heart like something pure and religious who could haunt me until my natural death because spend years or maybe decades to keep someone in your heart without stupid illusions or aspirations is the most beautiful proof of love arielle. for me 2 girls with 'no much brain", that's two stupid girls. and there is a different between naive and stupid. the first can understand, the second doesn't. but anyway, to judge someone interesting or intelligent, (or naive or stupid) the look is not enough and you must talk with her. if she can understand what you're saying, she's naive. but if you must repeat 50 times the same thing or just would like to knock your (or her) head against the wall after 5 minutes of conversation, she's stupid (or she doesn't speak the same language). anyway, stupid or naive, the both don't interest me. date with a little dog who must learn where to pee and how to bark that's absolutely not my cup of tea. so no, this is absolutely not hard. but, if i must choose between two stupid people, i will logically choose the hottest! even if i don't take care of people beauty. when that's the only option, we try to compensate compared ti things we couldn't have. so maybe in the end, people are not so blind

    oh my god, yes!!! i'm 200% agree with it. i want mike danton as my future husband! i don't know about the italian version the the french version is truly amazing! dubbing are really incredible and at the beginning of the movie, when one of the mercenaries hurts/shoots the first guy in the wood with his gun, he screams "i'm toucheeed!!!" instead of "i touched him" :evil: im pretty sure during the 70's and 80's, french dubbers were paid in weed, LSD and sometimes helium. i watched the french and the english version and the french one is really my favorite. strike commando is really awesome too. Strike Commando (1987) italian movie of Bruno Mattei plot : While operating behind enemy lines, Sgt. Mike Ransom learns of a Russian presence in North Vietnam. Ordered to obtain proof of this discovery, Ransom returns to enemy territory but is captured and subjected to a variety of tortures. Eventually he escapes to continue his mission despite being hampered by a traitor in his own ranks. in french
