“Pergunta-se se as palavras não serão um elemento essencial do sexo, se falar não será afinal uma forma mais subtil de tocar, se as imagens que rodopiam nas nossas cabeças não serão tão importantes como os corpos que abraçamos.”
In 2005, David Foster Wallace gave the commencement address to the 2005 graduating class of Kenyon College. This speech only became widely known until 3 years later, after his tragic death. He gave some of the best advice anyone can ever ask for - or not ask for - , explaning the meaning of adult life and choise. Now, there is a short feature, with that speech.
“The real value of a real education has almost nothing to do with knowledge, and everything to do with simple awareness…”
Good fortune is what happens when opportunity meets with planning.
Thomas Edison

“Pergunta-se se as palavras não serão um elemento essencial do sexo, se falar não será afinal uma forma mais subtil de tocar, se as imagens que rodopiam nas nossas cabeças não serão tão importantes como os corpos que abraçamos.”
A novel worth reading is an education of the heart. It enlarges your sense of human possibility, of what human nature is, of what happens in the world. It’s a creator of inwardness.
Susan Sontag, from an interview in The Paris Review-The Art of Fiction No. 143
Eu não sou o que me aconteceu. Eu sou quem me escolho tornar.
Carl Jung
The World’s End isn’t a send-up in any way, in fact, we’ve gone out of our way not to populate the film with references to other movies, in order to avoid that [parody] label.
The theme that will bind the three films together is not parody or even ice cream, it’s a preoccupation with the struggle of the individual against the collective. Shaun vs zombies, Angel vs the NWA, Gary King vs (???).
Thematically, it will all make sense when the three films can be viewed consecutively. This sounds lofty but they form a dialectic sequence, which I hope film students will write essays about.
Shaun of the Dead = evolution; Hot Fuzz = devolution; World’s End = revolution;
Simon Pegg
