Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom

Brito Justin Chadwick filmas "Mandela: ilgas kelias į laisvę", paremtas paties Mandelos autobiografija, yra labai jau tradicinis pasakojimas apie šią itin išskirtinę asmenybę. Bežiūrint galima sužinoti nemažai faktinės informacijos apie Nelsoną Mandelą, tačiau pats filmas kaip filmas iš esmės dėmesio vertas tik dėl dviejų nuostabių aktorių. Mandelą vaidina Idris Elba, o jo žmoną Winnie - aktorė Naomie Harris, geriausiai žinoma iš paskutinio Bondo filmo "Skyfall" ir "Karibų piratų".

Britų aktorių Idris Elba pirmą sykį pamačiau seriale "Luther", kur jis vaidino moralinių dilemų kamuojamą, savo darbu apsėstą detektyvą. Vaidino puikiai. Ir čia jis yra pagrindinė priežastis, dėl kurios išvis verta žiūrėti šį filmą. Jis tikrai daug įtikinamesnis Mandela, nei Morgano Freemano versija C. Eastwoodo filme "Invictus" (kuris kaip filmas yra daug geresnis, nei tas apie kurį rašau - dalis atstovauja visumai daug geriau nei į dvi valandas sukištas visas gyvenimas).

Naomie Harris vaidina jo žmoną Winnie, su kuria jis praleido tik kelerius metus prieš patekdamas į kalėjimą 27 metams. Šie ilgi kalėjimo metai juos išskyrė: jo pasirinkimas buvo atleidimas baltiesiems, jos - neapykanta. Dėl šio savo sprendimo jis buvo daug geresnis lyderis nei ji, tačiau jos gyvenimo istorija tikrai nemažiau verta dėmesio nei jo. (Apie ją yra sukurtas filmas, bet jis vertinamas itin prastai: nuoroda) Šiame filme man kiek pritrūko jos istorijos detalių.

Panašu, kad filmai apie didžias asmenybes retai būna labai puikūs. Šis tikrai toks nėra. Jį pažiūrėję prarasite kelias savo gyvenimo valandas ir sužinosite keletą faktų, nepažiūrėję - neprarasite nieko.

I dream of Jordan

I remember I was once in Jordan. It was the end of 2016 and I was visiting a friend who lived there. I was travelling alone and it was quite a strange and new experience to me. Travelling alone in the Middle East. Scary and exciting. First stop - Amman Next stop - Petra. One night I stayed Ghassab (in the picture below), who has a cave somewhere near Petra. Here he is leading us to the beautiful city from the other side... After visit to Petra, we spent a night in the cave and in the morning, instead of alarm, we some these amazing visitors... One more day in Petra... Next stop - Wadi Rum. A bedouin asked me what I wanted to do, I said I want to spend a night alone in the desert. So he left me with these, alone... Morning in the desert. And the the other bedouin came and showed me around. A visit to a small city As-Salt, which definitely worth your time. And, of course, Jerash... ...

There are books and there are books. This is the latter

I do love books. To have, to borrow, to smell, to hold and, of course, to read. But mostly to have. And read, of course. But I like the presence of books in my home. Wherever that is. Well, maybe my home is where my books are. (After returning from Indonesia, some of the books are missing, by the way. So if any of my friends are reading, please check your shelves for intruders. Please.) So I do love books. We established that. I also like some books more than others. I am so sorry for some of the books I have, but that is true. I consider some books better than others. So, logically, some of them I consider worse than others. But maybe I will not talk about those. Well, to the point. I want to write about the book I consider the best. Not the best ever written, but the best for me. And even that is not true, because my opinion about what is the best/favourite book is as solid as the wind. And it depends on what I am reading at the moment (well, if you care so much, it is Teju ...

Jesus found me in Uganda

“Could it be true? Jesus found me? He actually found me? And from all the places, in Uganda??? But I did not ask him to. At least, not really”, - at that moment it occurred to me that maybe Jesus does not recognize the sarcasm. All this troubling thoughts ran through my head when I was looking at the woman who was returning the gaze back to me. She was smiling and showing that I should raise my hands the same way as a woman preacher and all the congregation in the Bethel church, Kampala, Uganda. “This could be a sign”, - a little voice inside me said. “Since when do YOU believe in signs?!”, - replied the stronger, louder ME or I, or whatever I could call my more rational self at this moment. But at the same time I was looking at the poster on the wall, which stated: “PUSH: pray until something happens”. “Oh, God, has something happened?”, - at that moment I decided it was time to get out of the church. “Now. Run. Do not look back, until something else happens”, - s...
