General Anesthetic And Palpitations

The Doom Generation

Doom Generation is a film by Gregg Araki, released in 1995.
The scene opens in a nightclub, the first words uttered by the protagonist (amy blue) are "asshole" and "fuck you". Talk with her boyfriend, Jordan, and, without cocaine, get in the car with him with the intention of losing her virginity, but can not get to the "then" because of an altercation between two boys that involves physically the hood of their car. One of the guys who were beating, Xavier, he sticks it in their car and from that moment began a frenzy of violence including scenes of gore and sex to the limit always most perverse among the three boys up to the menage a trois in a kind of barn.
There is moral for them, nor with regard to sex, or for people that Xavier seems to have killed in cold blood.
In their journey across people who seem to recognize Amy, but every time she does not understand and in turn does not recognize the people he comes in contact.
The rooms vary depending on the mood of the characters, the typical picture of the pulp genre definitely takes the atmosphere of Lynch, Tarantino (and the look of the girl, almost a copy of Mia Wallace) and Oliver Stone ( Natural born killers just came out a year before).
soundtrack pounding and repetitive, is in harmony with fluorescent colors and dreamlike scenes and claustrophobic.
premises where children are seen in the background various placards with slogans "Pray for your soul" and "obey" clear tribute to the famous "they live" by John Carpenter.
Nothing new in the plot, then, but innovation can be read in various allegories that fill the film.
In fact it is a constant metaphor for the struggle between good and evil, the divine and the diabolical. Not for nothing that the skull is a recurring motif in all the details of the film, skull-shaped earrings, with a cigarette brand in the shape of skull, in the car, a skeleton hanging from the rearview mirror.
And yet, the demonic and sacred symbols are wasted, just remember the scene in which Jordan and Amy are about to have sex in the car and the camera takes the rearview mirror which reflects the image of the statue of a madonna ; the devil tattooed Xavier in the vicinity of the penis, and the statue of the Madonna that is reflected in the final scene in which it consumes the death of Jordan.
My opinion is that Jordan is the symbol of the good, is the only one with both parents, the only one who seems to really love Amy, and the only one that raises questions about the meaning of human existence, then the ' to seek only one direction.
Amy rather carried away by the situation, alternately joins with Xavier and Jordan, if his heart is for Jordan, his body wants to Xavier.
The people who seem to recognize it makes sense that Amy symbolizes something that all men seek, but that invariably disappoints them, perhaps the hope, or faith, or happiness.
Xavier on the contrary is evil, corruption, perversion and violence.
the end, only with Amy after the death of Jordan, which probably means that according to the director, is evil to triumph over good. I leave the trailer and enjoy!

What The Best Gamming Motherboard

What Dreams May Come What Dreams Al-

Chris and Annie meet on a lake bordering Switzerland, spend the afternoon together in the nature of a landscape infinitely suggestive.
That shows us that the director after the opening scene, is their life together a few years later, happily married with two children are all of their universe.
happens that one day their children, taken to school by car from Tata, they are victims of a tragic accident that will cause death. Since then it breaks something in the life of the couple that still make it through the death of her children thanks to Chris, his willpower, his motto "never give up." But even as they begin to live for and everything is back to normal, Chris died in a tunnel while trying to rescue a person trapped in the car which had overturned.
The juice of the film begins at the moment: the death of Chris and his life in the hereafter.
He finds himself in his paradise in a painting of his wife, painting depicting this beautiful Swiss landscape in which they had met, and where they dreamed of living the last years of their life together.
His Virgil is a professor of color, Albert, with whom she had been training to become a doctor, the only person that Chris had ever heard in his life.
And as he discovers life in the hereafter, his wife does not stand the pain of losing her husband and decides to commit suicide. Chris thinks he can meet her in heaven, but it is not: the suicides are in another place. "There are no rules," this is what he said Albert, Chris, and then decide that not even hell can separate them: going to take it up again at the cost of staying in hell with her.

I state that I do not like the film "sentimental" or very mushy.
There are two things I loved about this movie infinitely: the scenery, because certainly exceeds any paradise represents imagination, from colors to go with the suggestion of the landscapes and the shots from above, and ideas from various works of literature: the divine comedy, the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, el'amleto for the title of the film.
Secondly, the relationship between the two characters: a love that is capable of crossing the boundaries of life, so strong that both make sense only together, and the lack of one cancels the other. The children are put in second place to the bond that exists between the two: they are soul mates, nothing can separate them, even hell.
I attract strong feelings, I have no interest in the passions of weak and mediocre.
E 'the grandeur of the film, feelings, pain, nature, making it unique, certainly unique and unrepeatable.
"sometimes people consider impossible things that simply have never seen. "
One film that definitely remain in my heart for life, such as Dead Poets Society, Good Will Hunting and many others beyond the immediate effect and fun short-lived have some deep message will remain in your memory ...
