the poetry of jim jarmush's work, part 2zumaNovember 18 2010, 03:56:09 UTC
In chapter nine, "Jack Shows Meg his Tesla Coil", rock musician Jack White displays the Tesla Coil (designed by Serbian-American inventor and physicist Nikola Tesla) to his sister Meg White. While relating the importance of Tesla's discoveries, Jack says of Tesla: "He perceived the Earth as a conductor of acoustical resonance (Coffee and Cigarettes)."
This exact phrase is repeated in the final, and most exceptional, chapter, "Champagne". Starring older actors, Bill Rice and Taylor Mead pose as washed up janitors on a coffee break in the dark, steamy basement of an armory. In the beginning of the conversation, Bill asks Taylor if he is okay. Taylor responds by expressing, "I feel so ...divorced from the world. I've lost touch with the world (Coffee and Cigarettes)." Taylor references to a song by Gustav Mahler and they listen as it seems to play in the background of the basement, and then it disappears in to silence. Taylor mentions how the song "resonated" throughout the entire building. In response, Bill exclaims slowly: "Nikola

A sentence has a period, an idea does not.
I would offer that no single film encompasses all of life. Plot to me is like a keel a film. An idea, theme or character arc is another way. I do think that we must agree at some level to be able to codify and transmit information. We also agree in the exchange of precious time and attention for a measure of something from the artist.
always. this LJ is too old to ever allow to become fallow. (actually, i killed it once, ten years ago. if i hadn't, it'd have Early Adopter status and be free now. lesson learned.)
thank you for your own return here. your simple two word comment was treasured... genuinely encouraging.
i finished the movie, 'The Limits Of Control', and believe i want to send you a copy some day. it comes to mind here because the protagonist is mostly silent, hardly ever says a word. in the bonus features, the actor speaks fluent french. i wonder if he even really knows english. his few lines in the movie remind me of the english that robert begnini had to learn to play in 'Down By Law'...
thank you for the understanding, it's very encouraging.
hurro, hurro. it's a tranquilized morning in dunderland. and little difference is noted by the passersbys. dunderheads, i s'pose. the coffee is good. lisa made it. emma cat can't have any. is wot i say.
