Non riesco proprio a dedicare tempo né a trovare la concentrazione necessaria per dare linfa vitale a questo blog abulico e sconnesso...
Comunque non demordo, prima o poi cercherò di trasformarlo nel principale mezzo di comunicazione tra le mie meningi e il mondo esterno...

Un'altra citazione
Altra citazione, altro grande film, altra grandissima prova d'attrice: Stockard Channing (Ouisa Kittredge) in "Sei gradi di separazione" di Fred Schepisi, 1993:
"And we turn him into an anecdote, with no teeth, and a punchline you'll tell for years to come: "Oh, that reminds me of the time the imposter came into our house." "Oh! Tell the one about that boy." And we become these human jukeboxes spitting out these anecdotes to dine out on like we're doing right now. Well I will not turn him into an anecdote, it was an experience. How do we hold onto the experience?"

Dangerous Liaisons...
...o "Le Relazioni Pericolose", per i miei conterranei.
Credo sia senza ombra di dubbio il film che potrei citare, in un'ipotetica classifica personale all-time, come quello che mi ha trasmesso più emozioni e mi ha fatto conoscere la perfezione cinematografica, sia essa recitativa, stilistica o riferita allo script.
Di seguito, l'intero passo (da cui ho estratto le parole sotto il titolo del blog) che Madame de Merteuil (Glenn Close) pronuncia al Visconte di Valmont (John Malkovich) in una delle scene più celebri della storia del cinema in costume:
"When I came out into society I was 15. I already knew then that the role I was condemned to, namely to keep quiet and do what I was told, gave me the perfect opportunity to listen and observe. Not to what people told me, which naturally was of no interest to me, but to whatever it was they were trying to hide. I practiced detachment. I learnt how to look cheerful while under the table I stuck a fork onto the back of my hand. I became a virtuoso of deceit. I consulted the strictest moralists to learn how to appear, philosophers to find out what to think, and novelists to see what I could get away with, and in the end it all came down to one wonderfully simple principle: win or die. "
