Still Walking (2008)

Don't be late!

This one brings you so many memories. Its so plain yet so rich. I think even though the movie is Japanese everyone can relate. What makes it special it's the focus on our loved ones who are gone, and ignorance on those who are still alive. And the ending fills you with an impeccable regret. It also reflects the manners and behavior live on inescapable cycles. Only the one who has been sinful and experienced can see the damage they have created and then realize what they have done. You can have the most brightest mind but you will be back to your darkest roots if you ignore the simple things like your loved ones, your family. Don't resuscitate, that ain't worth nothing.

"It's always like that. I'm always a little late."

Our past and our future
5 April 2012

Well another great film by Werner. This film is about our past and our future...While those paintings show us the eldest of our civilization which we never know existed(20-30 thousand years ago) Werner takes the best out of it and makes it like we are there,actually wondering what those paintings meant. It makes us realize that a civilization millenniums ago maybe had totally other perceptions of the world and its worthless trying to solve the mystery of those beautifully crafted paintings from our point of view. Maybe it was some deity,or a prayer for a good hunting season,we will never know. And I really liked the part with the albinos. It shows us that through all this climate change(i know albinos have nothing to do with the climate change)maybe some millenniums in the future,what will be left as our legacy? What will our predecessors think about us? Maybe they will think of us as primitives as we think for cave men. What will they be their perceptions? Will the spiritualism be totally deceased by then? We will never know.
