Peter's friends. The way you look tonight

The way you look tonight

Some day, when I'm awfully low,

When the world is cold,

I will feel a glow just thinking of you...

And the way you look tonight.

Yes you're lovely, with your smile so warm

And your cheeks so soft,

There is nothing for me but to love you,

And the way you look tonight.

With each word your tenderness grows,

Tearing my fear apart...

And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,

It touches my foolish heart.

Lovely ...

Never, ever change.

Keep that breathless charm.

Won't you please arrange it ?

'Cause I love you ...

Just the way you look tonight.

Mm, Mm, Mm, Mm, Just the way you look to-night.

Desayuno en Plutón

- Tienes los ojos de tu madre. ¿Sabías, Patrick? Del color del mar más allá de Rosses Point.

- ¿La llevabas allí?

- Muchas veces. Las cosas podían haber sido tan distintas...

- No digas nada. Porque pasó algo muy raro. La fui a buscar a ella... y te encontré a ti.

Luces de la Ciudad

"Tuve esa magia una o dos veces. Al final de Luces de la Ciudad no actúo, más bien me disculpo, observando mi propio personaje. Es una hermosa escena porque no actúo demasiado".
(Charles Chaplin)

El fantasma del Paraíso

El primer recuerdo que tenía de una película, era el de un hombre enmascarado, muy atormentado, que estaba encerrado dentro de una habitación tocando un órgano. Esa imagen, la de su cara (posiblemente) desfigurada se me quedó grabada desde entonces, y ahí la dejé, pensando que no la volvería a ver. Sin embargo muchos años después, viendo un Fotogramas encontré aquel rostro, y descubrí la película. Era El fantasma del Paraíso, de Brian De Palma.

Para los que no os suene la película os diré que se trata de un musical, si, Brian De Palma también hizo un musical, que mezcla las historias de El fantasma de la ópera y Fausto, con un estilo muy de la época (1974) y una música excepcional. Desde mi punto de vista una obra maestra, lo cual es un tanto pretencioso, si recordamos algunos de sus grandes momentos. Para mi sorpresa, la primera película de mi infancia era así de especial.

Rebosa del estilo De Palma por todos los lados, sus encuadres, la típica pantalla partida, cámaras subjetivas, homenajes a Hitchcock y acompañando la historia destaca sobre todo la banda sonora. Compuesta por Paul Williams e interpretada por el propio Williams, Jessica Harper y el atormentado fantasma, William Finley, entre otros, es un compendio de baladas (Old souls), rock (Life at last) y pura adrenalina con toques cómicos (Somebody super like you). El tema principal (Phantom theme) abre y cierra el disco y marca su tono.

No puedo dejar de recomendarla, pero sabiendo que es un musical de hace 30 años, que la música se hizo para la película, y que todo tiene un estilo muy de aquellos años. No deja indiferente a nadie. Posteriormente he tenido ocasión de ver distintas versiones de las historias originales y resulta sin duda una maravilla de originalidad, talento y buena música. Me alegra mucho que este fuera mi primer recuerdo cinematográfico.

Trainspotting

Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family, Choose a fucking big television, Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers.

Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed-interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose a three piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing sprit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth.

Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing you last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you have spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life.

But who would I want to do a thing like that?

I chose not to choose life: I chose something else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who need reasons when you've got heroin?

When Harry met Sally. It had to be you

Harry (Voice over): This is much better, fresh air, I havethe streets all to myself. Who needs to be at a big, crowded partypretending to have a good time? Plus this is the perfect time to catchup on my window shopping. This is good.

Joker: So the guy says, "Read the card."

Sally: I'm going home.

Marie: You'll never get a taxi.

Harry (Voice over): You realise of course that we can never be friends.

Sally (Voice over): Why not?

Harry (Voice over): What I'm saying... is that men and womencan't be friends because the sex part always gets in the way.

Sally (Voice over): That's not true.

Harry (Voice over): No man can be friends with a woman hefinds attractive. He always wants to have sex with her.

Sally (Voice over): What if they don't want to have sexwith you?

Harry (Voice over): Doesn't matter, because the sex things already out there so the friendship is ultimately doomed and that isthe end of the story.

Sally (Voice over): Well I guess we're not going to be friends then.

Harry (Voice over): Guess not.

Sally (Voice over): That's too bad. You are the only person I knew in New York.

Sally: I'm going.

Marie: It's almost midnight.

Sally: Well, the thought of not kissing somebody is just...

Jess: I'll kiss you. Come one, stay, please.

Sally: Thanks Jess I just, I have to go.

Marie: Oh wait two minutes.

Sally: I'll cal you tomorrow.

Harry: I've been doing a lot of thinking. And the thing is, I love you.

Sally: What?

Harry: I love you.

Sally: How do you expect me to respond to this?

Harry: How about you love me too?

Sally: How about I'm leaving.

Harry: Doesn't what I said mean anything to you?

Sally: I'm sorry Harry, I know it's New Years Eve, I know you're feeling lonely, but you just can't show up here, tell meyou love me and expect that to make everything alright. It doesn't work this way.

Harry: Well how does it work?

Sally: I don't know but not this way.

Harry: Well how about this way. I love that you get cold when it's seventy one degrees out, I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich, I love that you get a little crink leabove your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts, I love thatafter I spend a day with you I can still smell your perfume on my clothesand I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I goto sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Years Eve. I came here tonight because when you realise you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of the life to start as soon as possible.

Sally: You see, that is just like you Harry. You say things like that and you make it impossible for me to hate you. And I hate you Harry... I really hate you. I hate you.

Harry: What does this song mean? For my whole life I don't know what this song means. I mean, 'Should old acquaintance be forgot". Does that mean we should forget old acquaintances or does it mean if we happen toforget them we should remember them, which is not possible because we alreadyforgot them!?

Sally: Well may be it just means that we should remember that we forgot them or something. Anyway it's about old friends.

Harry (Voice over): The first time we met we hated each other.

Sally (Voice over): No, you didn't hate me, I hated you. And the second time we met you didn't even remember me.

Harry (Voice over): I did too, I remembered you. The third time we met, we became friends.

Sally (Voice over): We were friends for a long time.

Harry (Voice over): And then we weren't.

Sally (Voice over): And then we fell in love.

El club de los poetas muertos

Psycho. Norman Bate´s mother

It's sad when a mother has to speak the words that condemn her own son. But I couldn't allow them to believe that I would commit murder. They'll put him away now as I should have years ago. He was always bad, and in the end he intended to tell them I killed those girls and that man. As if I could do anything except just sit and stare--like one of his stuffed birds. Well, they know I can't move a finger. And I won't. I'll just sit here and be quiet, just in case they do suspect me. They're probably watching me. Well, let them. Let them see what kind of person I am. I'm not even going to swat that fly. I hope they are watching. They'll see. They'll see, and they'll know, and they'll say... 'Why, she wouldn't even harm a fly!'

El silencio de los corderos

El príncipe de las mareas. Lowenstein.

"At the end of every day, I drive through the city of Charleston... and as I cross the bridge that'll take me home... I feel the words building inside me. I can't stop them or tell you why I say them. But as I reach the top of the bridge... these words come to me in a whisper. I say them as prayer. As regret. As praise. I say... Lowenstein. Lowenstein..."

Sospechosos habituales

"Keaton decía: No creo en Dios, pero le temo. Yo creo en Dios y lo único que temo es a Keyser Soze"

El título de la película es un homenaje a la película Casablanca. En aquella, el inspector de policíaaparece en una de las escenas del principio hablando con sus oficiales sobre cómo empezar la investigación de un asesinato. Cuando alguien le pregunta sobre dónde deben empezar, este contesta con malos modos: ¡Detengan a los sospechosos habituales!

"El mayor engaño del diablo fue convencer al mundo de que no existía"
