Ho Hum
As a very simple writing exercise, I’ve decided to keep a Journal. I’m not completely sure I’m going to be able to keep it going for long, but rest assured that I will try my best. Lately my life has been lacking direction. Days are very boring and stale; they come and go without bigger consequence. It’s not like a purpose is necessary, but being without attachment to my actions makes existence very tedious. I read Sartre’s Nausea a few days ago. Even when finding the character conflict overdone I certainly felt identified with Antoine awareness crisis. To me, the idea of a meaningless word in which we freely wander as equally meaning creatures is not disturbing as much as it is apathetic.
Anime has been pretty uninteresting lately. The formerly promising Xam’d is shaping up as forgettable and Natsu no Sora is still the only thing I would call truly remarkable. I also watched The Counterfeiters, the latest Academy Award winning film about the holocaust. It was a very enjoyable experience, with simple but effective cinematographic tricks and tight pacing. I don’t think I agree with those reviews that go lengths to talk about the “complex unbearable moral ambiguity” portrayed by the script. The main reason the message was effective was the eloquent down-to-earth nature of its portrayal, with elemental characterization and very strong core sequences.
Anyway, perhaps I just need to go out more.
