How Being John Malkovich

How Being John Malkovich

The same year that was released the famous Matrix film, also left films small and rare from the name: How To be John Malkovich. Even though that the relation between both is not very clear, it happened that I went to see both films one behind the other. Both try on the philosophical concept of the representation. Or said in simple words, on the possibility that our reality is not another thing that a scene. The problem of How To be John Malkovich they are his subtilities difficult to catch in the translations. In the first minutes of the film, John Cusack is waked up by one of the mascots of Cameron Diaz. The name of the parrot, is the same of the one of a North American preacher who has a senator position.

The surrealismo begins there, from the first minutes. Nevertheless many spectators do not notice these tracks and they are surprised before the rather delirious plot of the rest of films: that a vestibule to the mind of John Malkovich exists. But once surpassed impase and accepted that we are against films surreal, the trip becomes exquisite. The election of John Malkovich is not gratuitous, since the critic had declared before films that it had the actor owned a capacity to direct his personages. The premise of films is not that Malkovich can direct personages, if not who these personages own literally it.

The personage who interprets John Cusack as well alienates, incapable to recognize that he is already married with a beauty as Cameron Diaz and is sent after a colleague who knows in the work. Casting is part of history: director Spike Jones also alienates to the spectators, showing to us a Cameron to us little attractive Diaz. Sufficiently interesting, nevertheless, to draw attention of the personage interpreted by Catherine Keener, being created the loving triangle. The subject of the representation is also subtle. Whereas in the Matrix, Neon is all-powerful choosing, in How Being John Malkovich, the protagonist is as soon as a titiritero that has difficulty to pay the accounts. The titiritero, nevertheless, is the chosen one at the time of handling to Malkovich voluntarily. It obtains thus that secret dream that we have like spectators: to put us in the skin of a superstar. Again the game of the representations: Malkovich actor represents John Cusack now. And again the talent of the director who per moments we forgot that we are seeing the great John Malkovich and think that we are seeing rather the good natured John Cusack. How To be John Malkovich he is an interesting one films full of references and levels of reality, that will make the delights of the spectators postmoder to us. It is not, nor it tries to be films experimental, like has wanted to be seen, if not a reflection of the existential doubt that it creates the television: they feel really those beings who inhabit the screen? The question, of in case absurd, it nevertheless has an affirmative answer according to film like Matrix and Cmo To be John Malkovich.

Being Optimistic

Being Optimistic

The pesimism leads to the weakness; the optimism to the power. William James All we will have experimented sometimes what represents the pesimism, the effects, reaches, that can be generated of him, its repercussions, and often, their results have been very negative as much for the health as for our conduct, behavior. The important thing is, not to remain anchored in him, not to let to us catch by its effects, quite the opposite, we must look for the motivational stimuli that they allow us to leave his prison, to give passage to the optimism and to live intensely our opportunity on life that has been bequeathed to us, within a time interval that we do not know whichever years, days, hours involves. Sobe has been written widely the pesimism of different points of view, thus for example, Wikipedia remembers to us, that the more or less systematic founding of the pesimism takes place with the philosophers of the irracionalismo of century XIX, such as Schopenhauer, Mainlnder, Eduard von Hartmann, Julius August Bahnsen and Sren Kierkegaard, and to some great they assumed it poets, like Thomas Hardy and, before he, Giacomo Leopardi. This it formulated its theory more closed in its Dialogue between Tristn and a friend: The human sort will never believe not to know anything, not to be nothing, not to be able to get to reach nothing. No philosopher who taught one of these three things would make fortune nor form sect, especially between the town, because, outside which all these three things are little on purpose for whoever living, the two first they offend the pride of the men and third, although after the other, requires anger and strength of spirit to be believed. Already in century XX, the existencialistas are also enlisted in this current of thought Martin Heidegger and Jean-Paul Sartre, and mile Michel Cioran. .
