somewhere under the sky

an update

as usual, I lied about getting back to blogging. The strange thing is that lately there has been so much on my mind, and much of it I have consciously wanted to blog about, for reasons unkown.
I have created another blog solely for the movie Das Leben der Anderen (The Lives of Others). the link I'm sure is somewhere on this blog, maybe on my profile, but the address is www.daslebenthelives.blogspot.com. those who have not seen the movie are of course, welcome to participate in the discussion. i find this movie profound, i think, in that international sense of we human beings are all the same and all over the world people have similar ideals and people are beautiful. all over the world. i connected to this movie because i saw in it the ideas of Plato and the hope that a person can choose good over evil-and yet the brilliance of the movie was not that it was Good vs. Evil, like a Lord of the Rings motif, and for the main character things were not so black and white-i mean to say the choice was not so clear. When he was with the Stasi, he believed what he was doing was right. but his mind was opened and he choose to believe in something else, something else that was right.
i could just go on and on. i'll save it for the blog.
and hopefully i'll be posting more frequently.
peace out
