Beyond the Clouds, The Promised Place

 I'll start from afar. cinema, many gathered far from anime, fat guy sitting next to me, which was champing eating popcorn (that's so I'm lucky) - on the "Beyond the Clouds", which I'm looking for the umpteenth time. And every time I find piled impression on me like an avalanche. Wonderful violin theme Dolby-soraund ... And you know, as the unfolding of the plot crunch popcorn ostanavilivaetsya, and the guy's face appears completely stunned expression. Hall seemed fascinated looking at the screen - a flight to the tower. Suddenly crept end. Applause.
   Now actually about anime :) I do love the creativity Cinco - equally admiring and "Voices ..." and "... a cat", and "... the clouds." Here someone in the comments called him a genius dummies drawing wires and the sky and it is true. . Yes. our world is made up of pots and cables and even a huge number of all sorts of things, but because the world is beautiful! Look - a beautiful teapot and wires, too beautiful! Here's a man-made beauty. Why do we believe that only nature is beautiful and what is created by man ugliness? Our world in all its banal everyday urban existence is beautiful - although perhaps we understand this only to go into space.
   Here are arguing about this movie. Yes, the film about a dream, but not about its inaccessibility. but rather about not being wanted this dream. People have lost the ability to dream, lost the ability to "fly". Here lived two boys dream to fly to the tower, built the plane for that. But then matured and under the weight of real adult life, it was not necessary to them. One went to work for the government in cutting-edge research, and the other simply suffer from restlessness, lack of meaning, the purpose of his existence. Ambient mired in political intrigue - not very clear who is who and what is struggling by and large - again war, power struggles, unnecessary division of the world,.. it is not by chance that this line is practically not disclosed. Even when done grand opening - the existence of parallel worlds, the universe of dreams - until then in fact no one cares. Only found use - weapons, ominous tower, the casus to war.

Favorite Chronicles

   It seems we have forgotten what it looks like is the real fantasy.   Counters today beckon bright covers. This is a book about American teenagers, suspiciously similar to Harry Potter, but the next hack national writer - all this, oddly enough, can withstand dozens of publications, while Alexander's book we have published only once! Injustice, and only.   Of course, now, some people know beautiful cycle "Chronicles of Prydain", which can not fail to disappoint. Abroad cycle books are put on a par with Tolkien and Lewis. Even cartoon filmed such things.   "Chronicles" - a sample of a good, high-quality fantasy. Although the book was conceived by Alexander as a child, such it is quite a bit.   And is it - a fairy tale?   Judge for yourself. We have before us the heroic work (created, incidentally, based on Welsh legend - than not an argument), where there are wizards and heroes, and even the real Dark Lord is! There crafted world with its culture. There are quite a fascinating story, full of battles.   «Chronicles of Prydain» was and still is an excellent, fantastic product and pass this book, I do not advise.

The Mists of Avalon

    At last this masterpiece, my favorite book came in the mail today.

    Throughout the novel Lady of the Lake Vivian, Ninian, and then try to connect Morgaine divergent worlds, but their efforts are in vain, all their actions lead to the opposite result. They are too deeply involved in feuds with Christians, they no longer see the positive aspects of another's religion, they became something of the same disabilities, as well as priests. Arthur same, and then his son Mordred position as a link between the worlds does not bring anything good, but on the contrary deprives them of the family, happiness, mutual understanding between the people close. They do not connect the worlds, but on the contrary, break and destroy their souls. Only Kevin sees the hopelessness of attempts to connect worlds through one man, and "betraying" Avalon, bringing the world of the sacred chalice - Grail. According to Bard, all the people of the world must hold sacred relics, all the people shall keep Avalon in his soul.

    At the end of the novel the world of Avalon enters into the world of Christianity, but it is not because of, but in spite of the actions of the characters. "Relics themselves are moving here from Avalon; and some of them were transferred to the Avalon into a world where they are most needed. They will be hidden in Avalon, but they should be in the world ", - thinks old age Morgaine. Symbolically, the interpenetration of the worlds begins, when almost all the characters are dead, and the contradictions between them exhausted with their lives. Thus, the art of the novel is the time of connection time of two parallel worlds of Christianity and pagan beliefs. It covers several generations. Viewpoint, which describes the events, change several times, depending on which of the characters of the novel comes to the fore. But, of course, the center of the narrative is Morgaine, her life, and the way in search of reconciliation between himself and his destiny. At the beginning of the novel we see her child in her mother's arms, in the finale - old woman Landing holy thistle on Viviana's grave. The woman, endowed with wisdom, in the opinion of the author of the novel more than a man, is worthy to become a link between the worlds, but hatred and resentment to prevent Morgaine close people to accept people as they are and put up with other people's beliefs.

    A leisurely narrative, beautiful, sometimes almost poetic language fascinated, not immediately, but somewhere in the middle of the first book. And now I see the story of King Arthur and his family only Bradley's version.

The first impression of the game of poker with my friends

How I love to play cards, But poker -  I did not consider it is a great game.

What's so special, a certain number of players are sitting opposite each other and guess whether an opponent is lying, or he has a really have good combination and it will take the whole jackpot is now?

Here is my attitude was to poker.

But what was my surprise when an experienced player, as my husband can say chewed all the rules of the game.


And so we begin to poker tournament.
While I was involved in the rules of the game, was already  past midnight. The Bank is melted before our eyes, then in an instant to multiply and pleasing to the eye. It was so loud and so much fun. I got a positive charge. Positive energy - this is excellent mood for the whole day!

IN THE END of THE Game – I`am even some chips traded on the money!

Каждый миг пропитан магией.

Хочу рассказать Вам мое впечатление от просмотра замечательного мультфильма «Песнь моря» режиссером которого является Томм Мур.

На протяжении всего просмотра меня не оставляло чарующее чувство что ты являешься частью чего-то больше. Мифы и легенды Ирландии, магия переплетается с реальным миром.

По улицам Дублина бродят духи, а совы совсем не те за кого себя выдают.

Наряду с человеческими персонажами в «Песнь моря» оживают и герои из кельтских легенд.

Отдельное хочется рассказать о музыке. О, это музыка, эти ирландский мотивы, - просто сводят с ума.

Невероятно магический волшебный мультфильм, после просмотра которого остаются самые добрый, светлые и теплые чувства.

P.S. Надеюсь я Вас заинтриговала, хотя бы капельку. В общем рекомендую посмотреть этот мультфильм, не пожалеете потраченного времени.

Spirited away

This anime great.

I watched it so many times and I will be recwatching.

This cartoon -  is something touched me, I do not know why. From theater came as if another person. "Spirited Away" is now my favorite cinematographic.

Hayao Miyazaki is very well thought out every detail. It's amazing.

Fantastic.

Miyazaki's genius.

In this animated film has a strange sincerity. I can not put into words. This is so strange...

But something almost immediately catchy. The first sound is not a cartoon: crispy cellophane bouquet, buzzing electric windows, wind rustled in the opening window. Family wagon rides through normal city. The family moved to. Dad got a new job and is full of enthusiasm. The sun through the tree branches. All is calm and family-boring, but through the thin fabric of the screen in the room already penetrated Another, and soon drawn closes around the world and will become crystal clear.

Moving it disaster. Rush solid thread habits swung open around the space and need to find your way to a new home. And in the story, as in life, you need to choose.

You just have to believe her five senses and go with the flow through the soft and comfortable illusion of reality by the name. Sunlight will stream through the lace of foliage, and in front of a wonderful adventure in the brave new world. What could be easier than to go through life as the park entertainment, because it was built specifically for you, and can be run on the green hillside, and then worked up a pretty appetite pounce on free magical goodies.

But there is another path, overgrown with weeds and grass magical. It leads into the depths, where the thin film of consciousness meet and gossip with each other about the weather and crop prices, demons and spirits that rise from the evil garbage dumps, and there is no creature that is not covered then unbearable shiver of disgust.

But spirits like people like a hot bath. They will eat, and the name of the human body, but they are powerless against his will and his love. After completing their journey, Little girl will find the true name and find Friend, and not one, but many, it will return the original appearance of the parents, that's just how it seems to her now? But hush, listen ... who's grunting around?

Chrono Crusade

WARNING, SPOILERS !!!!

  Over two days, more precisely, one night completely and half the next day looked Cho Crusade. And now, they say, I try to collect brains together and systematize experiences. Well, first, somewhere about an hour after seeing nothing but ... It's no worse than the FMA, if such a thing can be compared, they are in my head somehow easily compared, so that the "Chrono Crusade" is more than a successful thing. Of course, in strength and murderous end FMA far ahead, and Chrono, in principle, I was ready for such a sad outcome for Rosetta and Chrono and agreed Sister Kate for them it was happiness, but not because of the fact that they do not they see war, and because I do not know how to tell the future they do not have something, there is not true, I do not know.
  Remembering how Rosetta cried at the end, he did not want to die weeping hunting, for me, it was almost the most powerful moment in the series. Here it lives and it would be desirable to live. even if before it was ready to spend and give in the name of what you want (in the case of Rossett goodness and justice)
  Demon Chrono. How is it - the love beats right in the heart, that's it, and I struck at first sight and forever. Yes, it is similar to many of the same as he did - a demon with a heart and soul, a beast, a killer of millions, in the child's body and attractive face kawaii repent and gone, even from allies such as the retreat, tormented by guilt, and so on. It is a standard set of turns, but he is one that's so! Words can not describe, you have to look, see and feel.
  Rosetta. Ahh, this is the only main character willing to help everybody and save all in which this desire is not annoying, but on the contrary it right! so be it, and believe in the noodle, you know that if it does not then no one can. Of all the characters of anime Rossett is the best I've seen to date. She is absolutely correct, and she did everything she could, and no one regret, but with a sense of guilt failed. Even though it was magic, but still there are weaknesses at all.
  Life is a drama with elements of comedy and other genres. In this masterpiece (not afraid of the word) is logic and completeness, there is emotion and ambiguity, there is the contrast of genres and a great finale .... Honestly I did not expect to see what I saw.
