Mad World from Alex Parks

During these days, a lot of sounds which were in my listening music lists long time ago keep jumping into my ears. Talking with my friends, he told me to be more sensitive, while he is in a kind of mass situation, considering talking with friends as an addictive medicine to heal his soul and heart. After that, I randomly heard this sound.

Then suddenly, it rang the bell of the movie -- Donnie Darko.

This is the epilogue track of that movie. Even I heard this sound before I watched that movie, the first impression was just that movie, also including lots of sad news I read from google reader, about the real situation of Chinese and those infinite people who are at the bottle of the society which looks like rich and prosperous.

The signature line of one of my friends was that a government with a lot of people who know nothing about laws prevent those people who is professional of laws to do there business. I know he refers to the news that several lawyers who handle difficult human rights causes have been unable to renew their licenses.

What a kind of mad world ......

A special day

This is a day that we said farewell to MJ once the king of the pop star in primary and junior school.

This is a day that the news about the armed forces of Chinese government randomly shot citizens to suppress the riots in Xinjiang and all the ways of communication were cut off were reported worldly.

This is a day that 72 years ago, Japan invaded China, but I heard nothing monumental activities in China.

What a special day! What a special government!

Knowing & Public Enemies

Because of Johnny Depp, I went to watch Public Enemies.

Actually, this movie has a lot of famous stars, such as Marion Cotillard and Bale. I can't imagine the changes between “La Môme” to this elegant and beautiful and loyal lady of Marion Cotillard. Their love story is a kind of unreal. But the sound and movement effect is quite great, especially the scene of the old 30's America. And Depp is so cool as usual, well performed as an bank-gangster. The whole story is kind of sad with the ending. That loneliness and betrayal will stay for a long time.

Because of Nicolas Cage, I downloaded Knowing.

After watching this morning, the greatest impression comes from the Beethoven's Seventh Symphony movement 2, in the part that Cage was in memory of his wife with a glass of wine in the basement.

And this topic originally roots in the 2012 doomsday prediction of the Maya civilization, quite famous for its art, architecture, and mathematical and astronomical systems. The Mayan calendar precisely predict the earth geomagnetic reversal and the eclipse in 1972. And those two accidents in the movie actually were real just with time shift. But the whole issue lies in whether or not you believe life comes from other planet with the help of aliens not just a series of coincidences. Well if it really happens, just do as what Cages did in this catastrophe -- holding the people you love.

Simple Life

Suddenly a line comes from my mind.

Life is nothing but life is everything.

Quite true, just the way, the time, maybe the people you with are different, the answer is diverse.

For me, life goes back to simple since today, and even not, I will let it be a cup of tea, music, movie, yoga, badminton and papers of course.

Back from the trip to China, to home, it seems leave me some kind of thoughts, lingering around me for days.

A lot of things happened long time ago, but I just knew them. A lot of things were planned for so long and will happen in near future, but I just got it. Maybe the jet lag is not just for time, but also for life.
