Exxagerated scripts
I recently took part in a class on scriptwriting in which we were told: “Exaggerate emotions! Go wild, make things plain & obvious! Put things in your face! Things should go wild and explode!”.
Recently-er still, I also saw some movies directed by Hayao Miyazaki. And the perspective changed. Sure, you can make things with powerful emotions and lots of action, and explosions, and ka-boom!, but you can also make them soft, and sweet, and kind, and nice, with real-life emotions, which sometimes may be not-as-aggressive as movies tend to portray.
Thus, I’m at peace in making scripts that don’t go over the board with emotions.
I used to think that you need to have a lot of emotions, even exaggerate a bit. Now I know there’s a different possible solution.
– Do you like girls? – Yes! – But do they like you back? – I also like them!
There’s a quote by Ion Creangă:
Vorba ceea:
— Măi Ioane, dragi ţi-s fetele?
— Dragi!
— Dar tu lor?
— Şi ele mie!…
(- Do you like girls? – Yes! – But do they like you back? – I also like them!)
There’s a thing about liking others, which I want to talk about in this article.
On “Friends” (TV Series, 1994–2004)
A quote on “do what your heart tells you” (from “Whisper of the Heart” (1995) / “Mimi wo sumaseba” (1995))
There’s a quote in “Whisper of the Heart” (1995) / “Mimi wo sumaseba” (1995) which I like:
“All right, Shizuku, go ahead and do what your heart tells you. But it’s never easy when you do things differently from everyone else. If things don’t go well, you’ll only have yourself to blame.”
Thoughts on it?

Memories and their great luck
There’s a joke that a prostitute considers it to be great luck to have chosen this career, after graduating some difficult BA.
Un domn trecut de prima tinerețe, dar cu portofelul gras, agața la bar o tânără frumoasă. După puțin timp ajung în apartamentul domnișoarei. Până ce tânără se “pregătește”, domnul vrea să pună un CD pentru atmosferă. Pe raft: Brahms, Verdi, Ceaikowski etc….
– Vai, dragă, asemenea muzică asculți tu?!
– Ah, da, am uitat să vă spun că eu am absolvit Conservatorul.
Domnul se lăsă păgubaș cu muzica, dar vede cărțile din bibliotecă. Pe raft: Eliade, Goethe, Pușkin etc….
– Vai, dragă, asemenea cărți citești tu?!
– Ah, da, am omis să vă spun că am terminat și filologia.
– Păi, bine, fato, dar prostituata cum ai ajuns?!
– Ah, printr-un mare noroc!…

I have some poor memories, times when I did wrong, times when I wasn’t treated as expected. Still, the good memories in my life are so important that they far outweigh the difficult times.
“How did you get those poor memories? Through luck – see, I have some poor, but also some very good memories!”.
I’m so lucky that I have some poor memories, which make the good memories really shine!
