The visit to the Grand Budapest Hotel

Negalėčiau pasakyti, kad labai nusivyliau naujausiu Weso Andersono filmu "Viešbutis "Grand Budapest" (filmo anonsas), tačiau po praeito filmo "Mėnesienos karalystė" (filmo anonsas), kurį be galo mėgstu, tikrai tikėjausi daug daugiau.

Naujausiame filme pasakojimas dėliojamas keliais lygmenimis. Pirmiausia mergaitė aplanko mirusio autoriaus statulą, tuomet šis (Tom Wilkinson) kreipiasi į mus ir papasakoja, kad įkvėpimo knygai sėmėsi iš jam jaunystėje (čia jį vaidina Jude Law) papasakotos istorijos. Pastarąją jam pasakoja jau žilstelėjęs vyras ponas Moustafa (F. Murray Abraham), o jo istorija mus nukelia į jo jaunystę, kuomet jis dirbo viešbučio pasiuntinuku, o jo viršininkas buvo žavingasis viešbučio administratorius ponas Gustavas (be galo žavingas Ralph Fiennes).

Kaip ir kiekviename filme, šiame gausu itin garsių aktorių pasirodymų (be minėtų, dar galima išvysti Tilda Swinton, Harvey Keitel, Adrien Brody, Bill Murray, ir daugelį kitų), tačiau nei vienas be pono Gustavo nė neprimena realaus vaidmens. Kaip ir kiekviename filme, Andersono sukurtas filmas spindi be galo ryškiomis spalvomis, simetriškomis kadro kompozicijomis ir itin dirbtinu pasauliu, tačiau šįkart daug labiau nei anksčiau, tas pasaulis primena lėlių namelį. Tiesa, griūvantį lėlių namelį: jam grasina artėjantis karas ir žiaurių užmojų turintys asmenys. Puikus dizainas, deja, slepia kiek tuštoką vidų. Jį be galo smagu pažiūrėti. Vieną kartą. Bet bijau, kad jis greitai pasimirš...

Pagalvojau, kad be galo norėčiau gyventi Weso Andersono sukurtame pasaulyje, bet geriausiai, kad tai būtų ne šis, o "Mėnesienos karalystės".

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... ...

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...

To be in Palestine

It is already a month and a half when I entered the Palestinian territories, but so far I managed only to post things on facebook. I do not know why. My dream is to be a travel writer or a researcher (yes, I'm 32 and I still dream about the different future careers:), but somehow this blog stayed empty and silent for quite a while. I was in Palestine before. It was 2013 and the trip to Hebron broke my heart. This cold execution of apartheid system was something inconceivable. Al-Shuhada street - closed for Palestinians, checkpoints in the middle of the city, streets to walk for Jews and for Palestinians. It seemed as if a scene from the dystopian movie. Or thing from the past. Not now, when we talk so much about the importance of the human rights. Not now when we are so interconnected and we know the price of silence. And not by Jews, not by Jews. And yet is was there. This scene. Cold injustice. I did not know then that I would come back. I did not know then that it would...
