Modern Times
Hi Arkangel,
This is my favorite scene in Modern Times, i belive it is also the first time Chaplin spoke in a movie back then prior to The Great Dictator. Speaking of which, this scene always made me cry, i wish some goverments and leaders will take some of those words to heart and really think things through before starting wars all around.
The Ipod and other various MP3 players great invention, aren’t they? It is a really a way to disconnect from the world and be with yourself. I can’t go anywhere without my mp3 player, when I’m driving to school 3 times a week, it gives me a nice distraction from everything around me for at least one hour of bus driving. (Plus they very light and not has heavy as the compact disc player)
I believe Persia is actually Iran today, I don’t know if the population form Persia is big in Israel today. Israel is full with different nationalities, take me for example: I’m Russian, my parents came from Russia 30 years ago and I was born here in Israel.
I wish I knew how to speak fluently in Russian and write or read it. I didn’t know a word from that language until my visit 2 years ago to my family who lives in USA. There I learned how to speak the Russian language a bit better then I did before.
So you play Sheshbesh? I am very bad in this game; I never fully understood what the purpose of this game is. My brother is pretty good in this game and he even tried to teach me how to play it…..with no luck at all.
That brings me to how many brothers and sisters I have. I got an older sister who is 14 years older then me and one brother who is 9 years older then me. I’m literally the youngest and as everyone says usually about the youngest kid, the most spoiled one of the bunch (not true at all and I can proof it). How old are your kids?
My time in the army was kind of fun, I enjoyed meeting people who later became friends; I don’t go back to the army at all as I don’t need to. I miss that time, I miss the uniform. It’s a nice memory.
I remember after my army service has finished, I flew to visit my family in America for the very first time (I was there twice), i was traveling around mostly in Arizona, saw places and the Grand Canyon. Before I left back to Israel, the local Jewish community center has celebrated the Israel Independence Day, I went there with a friend and it was very special. It’s amazing that when you far away from home you suddenly realize how much you appreciate and love the place you come from. There was a moment in the end of the celebration that the Israeli anthem was playing and I started to cry everything just struck me- that I miss home and everything else.
I have seen Munich, I was very disappointed from this movie and the way it was made. Spielberg was criticized a lot here for not being to sensitive towards the victims family and made this movie as a Hollywood movie. I haven’t seen One Day in September yet.
Yesterday I watched The Wind That Shakes The Barley for the first time. I must say I didn’t enjoy the movie as much as I thought. but Cillian Murphy was really great in his role as Damien.
I haven’t seen the filming of Aviva My Love, I wasn’t even aware there was a movie that was filmed in Tiberias until it came out to the cinema.
Good Night & Good Luck is a good movie, Robert Downy Jr. had a small part in it, not like in the movie I’m watching now Kiss Kiss Bang Bang… he is really funny in it. True, Robert had a setback in the past few years with all the addiction probalms he had, it’s great to watch him coming back to the cinema this days.
Amazon is a great tool for the online shopping of unnecessary things. I’ve done few purchasing from there lately, the last one was made today, preordering Little Britain Live DVD and getting the 3rd season of this show. Can you tell that I’m obsessed with it? I love this sort of humor that is a bit vulgar and weird.
To the game now, i can't think of a book at the moment, so was there any good book you read recently?
Have a nice weekend
Mic
