Despre The Card Counter (2021)

The Card Counter (2021)

Am citit opinii/reviews că filmul The Card Counter (2021) ar fi slab că nu se întâmplă prea multă acțiune, e un scenariu cu prea multe pauze.

Mie mi-a plăcut că mi-a dat timp să reflectez lucruri.

Nu simt că în urma lui Mad Max: Fury Road (2015), unde se întâmplă lucruri multe, am două capete. Mad Max-ul din 2015 un film bun pe toate planurile, dar a schimbat lucruri în mine și The Card Counter.

În loc să citești cărți, poți citi rezumate. În loc să faci un doctorat, poți citi o carte. În loc să studiezi un detaliu, te poți concentra pe ideea globală.

Dar nu asta e ideea – să acumulezi cât mai rapid. Ideea e să înveți. Și poți învăța și dintr-un film care e, aparent, prea încet pentru gustul multora.

Mad Max (2015) mă fascinează. The Card Counter m-a pus pe gânduri.

Joker is a part of life

Două filme - Joker + Parasite

A lot of times, when I think of Joker (2019), I consider it a strange person in a normal world.

It might be wrong.

Perhaps Joker fits perfectly in this world.

Perhaps weirdness is a state, we are all weird.

Joking looks bad, while it does bring happiness it’s also considered aggressive.

But, perhaps, this, too, is part of life.

The thing with joking is that it changes the system.

You laugh at the system, the system moves from A to B. It causes a big shift.

One step in changing an issue is acknowledging that this is, really, an issue.

But when you laugh, two things happen:

  • You acknowledge there is an issue.
  • You either accept it, and it shifts, or you refuse it, and, again, it shifts.

Laughing changes the system.

Yes man

Cindy Ford - What the Young Must Pursue

I watched with great interest the movie Yes Man (2008).

Apparently, saying „Yes!” to everything is something positive. I won’t deny this, it can be so.

But it can also be something negative. For example, it might mean you don’t trust yourself enough to accept the critical part of yourself. You might almost surely have negative feelings about something – you don’t like going everywhere, you won’t like some of the things suggested to you, you would prefer that instead of 10 things to have on your „To-do” list there would be only 5.

Saying yes to everything has some advantages – you will be confronted with lots of situations, you might earn more, you will tend to be more productive, you’ll accomplish things.

But it might bring some dissatisfaction – you might fail some deadlines, you will overpromise, at times, you will say things which won’t necessarily happen.
