Not proper for Christmas, but advisable for distraction


Even though now is a moment favourable for rather light matters I’d like to share with you my interest for cinema of rather tough genre. Generally I prefer European movies but if I was asked to choose the American movies that impressed me the most I would choose:  Donnie Brasco,  Scarface Goodfellas, God Father.
All titles mentioned before are linked by some features they treat: the  problem of mafia in USA, the stereotype of Italian family dedicated men, the playing of actors with Italian roots like: Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Marlon Brando, Joe Pesci. I have seen all these cinematographic masterpieces several times and they always get me involved. The problem of the mafia never gets older and what is terrifying, the mechanism of how it works is indestructible.  We can observe a model civils that takes wrong path and the cruelty of mafiosos. What astonish the most, is that personalities of the main protagonists, merge a violence against their victim with a tenderness and limitless devotions to their family. We can observe Michele Corleone and Vito Corleone how loving fathers they are. There are several, very moving scenes which show the extremal gentiles of these unhuman murders. It is incredible, how contradictory the human’s nature is!
On the deep level of the film, there is a moral lessen of the right and wrong to learn. Fortunately there is also very light aspect of the mafia American cinema. It is a brilliant playing by actors that express  bright sense of humour, irony, intelligence. Finally,  we can here a soft Italian-Sicilian acent of in some scens that gives the authenticity to the background of the story. In the end I must say that Robert De Niro and  Al Pacino are among my favourite actors since they are able to perform the highly subtle emotions and feelings. De Niro, in my opinion, has also a unic comic talent.
So, after a copious Christmas dinner and a little walk for digestion, let you enjoy the classics of the American cinema. Have a good time.

Walk

Walking is an activity I would recommend to everybody, to those who usually do sports which demand a lot of effort as well as to couch potatoes. When you stroll,   not only do excercise your body but you also activate your mind. As time allows, it is advisable to go out and observe the seasons changing, to perceive the scent of air and vagetation, to look the colours surrounding you. You are always free to choose wether you need  company, for your promenade. There are many of us who would choose walk a dog. Most  dogs do wanny walk by your side, but they tend to lead you. My dog, which was also my friend, was an exception. She used to follow me and at the same time bouncebl  kind of ball. This amusing image makes me smile when I amble these days. To benefit of a pleasant promenade it’s good to have a companion. Neverthelss, with or without your a dog, now is a time to leave the couch, skip the gym and feel the autumn atmosphere outdoors.

Winter is coming

We are now reached the time of general happiness and excitement caused by the Christmas and New Year. But it is also an important moment in the Nature – the winter solstice. We usually don’t think about these because everybody worries about preparation for the celebration, presents, decorations, cooking Christmas dishes. I can’t deny, all these things involve and bring a lot of satisfaction, but it is not bad to look for the distraction elsewhere. After eating abundant dishes it is good to go out to take a fresh air. I’m lucky because I leave close to the wood and have the privilege to enjoy a long walk in the winter forest. You can say that it is a sad place in winter, but it is not true at all. Coniferous trees are gifted with the copious green needles. The wet earth, the plants, all emanate characteristic intangible perfume. Theses perfumes stimulate your breath that enhance your blood circulation and thanks to it you can feel a positive energy. The trees seemed to protect from th...
