But the counter argument is that these connection are something that happens in different ways and are sometimes very personal.
This week I saw apparently unrelated events that end up building a sotryline in my life's screenplay.
We started we Philonema, the film starred by Judi Dench and Steve Coogan, with a strong religious (catholic, more specifically) argument on forgiveness. The history of Phil start on the 50' and ends on the present days.
The next day came Marc Chagall and Imre Amos, both somehow related but very different between themselves. Chagall will depict his dreams in his paints that frequently contains the jewish religious and cultural elements such as the rooster, the walking jewish, the paints he has done for the bible and also, why not, the ilustrations for the La Fontaine fables.
Imre Amos, the hungarian jewish painter that died in the concentration camp felt like a very sensitive person and expressed the difficult times in between the first and second world war. His eerie but at the same time heavily and dense paintings are dark, bringing you closer to those times of despair.
Last, 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty' is a modern fable which doesn't say too much but it brings a very nice soundtrack with amazing views. The discussion on real life x online life (the magazine name, the eHarmony discussions and even the meeting with the call center person)is valid and Walter often goes day dreaming until he starts to bring them to life at the same time that everything else goes into the online direction. And a good end, which is difficult in these type of films.
Where am I getting here? Humm... maybe it is better not to give everything so you are also able to connect them together or even create new ways to see them.
