candice poole on “civilization and other chimeras”
dear aryan
how are you?
I wanted to thank you for sending me the video on “Civilization and other chimerae observed…” I really found it both fascinating and intriguing.
It sparks some interesting thoughts and questions…
Does the actor always play himself?
How honest is our communication with others? Is our reality subject to our own interpretations?
I felt a sense of loneliness when I watched the individual characters. Perhaps, that is just me. Somehow, when the camera was on them directly, yours or Dick’s they came to life…I saw truth.
My most beautiful line in the film: “That’s the greatest achievement. If you can make the simple things magical.” A metaphor for life, for relationships…But, hey, that’s just my reality…I am in love with the infinite…and I play in the land of dreams…
What is truth for men? What is truth for woman? And how does this manifest? I thought it interesting, the comment: “Men act to tell the truth”, “Woman act to hide from the truth…and to have power”.
I watched it just yesterday, however, I was interrupted towards the end…I will finish it tonight. Thought I would drop you a mail, while my first impressions were fresh in my mind.
I would love to hear your thoughts on it please?
Hope your family are well and happy.
Warm regards
Candice
