Breathe (Everything passes)

Breathe!.. Breathe!..
Although it’s dark now, the sun will come out!..
Breathe!.. Breathe!..”

“..For the first time I can see
What this was, what this did to me
And for the first time I don’t need anyone to believe me
I’m free!..”
Any dead ended road, one step closer to home…
A few months ago I had a creative work for the song Overgrown. Actually, the title of the post is a quote from it. What has changed in these few months?
Be Sick of You
“Gathering together is for fools
the whole venture is hopeless
My pain – is my inspiration, where salvation is
urgent therapy..” Read More
I want to feel spring again. (All In Circles 1.0)
I rarely find anything interesting in the Ukrainian pop scene, but the band Kazka, in places, is something else.
Seize The Power
“Hey there, how you been?
I’m the voice in your head and I know you been aching
When you find me, let me in
I got power in my hands and it’s yours for the taking..”
Epilogue
“When two are separated by only one step
You and I are like a book
This is our epilogue
Although the memories are countless
We are different in our silence
I’m sorry that I stopped
Holding your hand so tightly”

Some people make allegories that people, or women, are like wine – they only get better with age. What if the wine has gone bad? And become vinegar? And over the years it only gets more and more sour?..
I think that certain members of the fair sex only become more toxic with age. And I see it. The poison licks off the fingertips. They say that women develop faster in adolescence than men. Well. Over time, it changes color. Do I know many interesting/handsome men around the age of 40-50? Let me think…but if I ask myself the same thing about women, I will see, first of all, toxicity. It is no longer sad, it is a fact. Sad fact? Maybe…
I will sit, watch how it will develop further. But there is a moment when you kill something inside yourself. It is as if that poison kills a tooth nerve. And it seems to me that if I was already on the path to “getting rid of the corpse,” now every word is like a nail in the coffin lid.
Is There an End to Your Sorrow
“When there’s one step left
Let’s do it together
Watch the day burn away.
You ran
Without looking back
The past is like nooses
Tied on your sleeves
You’re not into promises
And don’t need deception
I’m wearing your jewelry
Jewelry is wounds”
Watched The Hole (2001)
This movie reminded me of my childhood – a time when they knew how to make scary movies. What is it about?
The Pit is a pretty classic story in which four classmates decide to leave the trip and…disappear. At the same time, according to the previous story, the parents will think that the children are at school, and the school will think that the children are at home. Meanwhile, the company itself planned to have fun in a room that resembles a bunker. As you can imagine, we are waiting for a “so-so” twist with the fact that the bunker door will remain closed forever. What really happened will be told to us by a surviving girl named Liz, played by Thora Birch.
Despite the fact that the film is only 1 hour and 44 minutes long, the story itself is told from several points of view – Liz, as a girl who escaped, and Martin (Daniel Brocklebank) – a guy who imprisoned the campaign in a pit. And as the plot develops, the story of each of them receives new development and a new perspective on what events took place over the course of 15 days.
The cast of the film is quite good, in addition to Tora Birch, it also starred a then-young Keira Knightley (Liz’s friend, Frankie). At the same time, it received mixed reviews on Rotten Tomatoes (only 53% positive reviews). What went wrong?
Let’s start with the fact that this is a psychological thriller – a genre in which you can find a lot of inaccuracies. Perhaps this was the reason why it had such a low rating. Otherwise, the picture from the first frame to the last moment keeps you in suspense, not giving a clear answer to what exactly happened and who is to blame for it. And in my opinion, the films of that era (the beginning of the 00s) are some of the best in this genre. They did not have some kind of contrivedness, which modern films often sin with. That is, now we will more often come across a thriller about how the heroes are hunted by some super-computer or they “steal” from modern technologies than an ordinary story about a strong, albeit somewhat painful love.
Sometimes you want such a… dirty movie that will drag you headlong. Not least to distract you from all the modern nonsense that comes out almost every day. And “The Hole” is exactly such a movie. My personal rating is 8 out of 10. Interesting story, interesting twists, good actors. The movie, by the way, is based on the book “After the Hole” by the English writer Guy Burt.
