On the Occasion of Remembering the Turning Gate (Hong Sang-soo, 2002)

| Twenty-Eight Nights and a Poem |

By Akram Zaatari.

///

gave me nostalgic Vibes....

wanted to write about it ... all my thoughts were within every scene that I felt..

I fell asleep I don’t know for how long in the middle.. I don’t think it was because of boredom... It was to feel my childhood back;

To get my home scent ... even though I’m miles away .. in a place that is nothing like home .

To revive a vivid images inside, I forgot about their existence .

Feeling the memories...

Playing again in your hidden images but only in your head .

Feeling your innocent aroura; that you thought you’ve been lost ...

1975 دو ذا هاستل وأرقص الرقص ألشَرقي!،

“ How time fly’s ! “ you say it even though you kinda believe that time is an illusion...

So what flys , that disguise as a time?

Me?

Only photographs might tell .....

A falling lights to an existing warmth ....

Despair in the last scene... the intense in the last scene... the not blinking .... the desire to sleep ... the lights .

“Test yourself on mankind. It is something that makes the doubter doubt, the believer believe.”

— Franz Kafka, The Zürau Aphorisms

[plotome09]

This is capitalism's vast irrationality and inhumanity in action. Markets and The Economy™ matter more to capitalism than the concrete distribution of resources according to tangible human need.

Resources exist in abundance -- give them to people. Housing sits empty -- give it to people. The rules of the feast table should apply to our economic system -- no one gets seconds until everyone has gotten a plate.

We stand at a crossroads in these chaotic times: socialism or barbarism! The ruling class repeatedly chooses the latter. We need to organize and choose the former!
