About Me

DON'T DREAM YOUR LIFE, LIVE YOUR DREAMS!!
For those who know me, no explanation is necessairy. For those who don't, none will suffice
I'm a film student, my biggest passions are films, obviously, to learn about the different languages (currently learning russian and swedish and will start learning japanese, german and italian after that), History, music (sing and play the guitar and piano) and skydiving. I aspire to be mainly a film director, but also a writer (for those stories ideas that I have which are better as novels than a movie). Travel for me is a necessity. I think that's all you need to know really. I think I have an obsession with East European culture. Their music, their litterature, their cinema, all so rich.
Anyone tired of all the crappy movies and would like suggestions to experiment other kinds of film, message me! I always love to talk film with others interested and those who wish to know more.
Dislikes :
- Bad Music , Ignorance , Stupidity are probably the things I hate the most and cannot stand.
- I hate how people's movie list is almost always exactly the same. I think it's rather sad actually. I also hate Tarantino.
I really like this quote by BjÃ¶rk. Read it many times. Everything's there
"My philosophy of making music is based on "putting something beautiful out into the world'' rather than point out what's wrong with the planet all the time, I'd rather make something new that becomes more of a positive statement about life rather than criticising. If I feel a sense of duty it's that there are all those people out there who are forced to work in an office or whatever and they can put a record on and something more abstract happens to them. You have to protect that and keep it separate from mundane things."
- BjÃ¶rk

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one...

I don't know the key to success, but I know the key to failure is trying to please everyone

BASE Jumping -- The craziest sport in existence. Off course I'm going to do this in my life :P I've already experienced the joy of skydiving.

I probably forget some names but that'll give you a rough idea I think ;)

I'll leave you with this quote of Bjork :

I want music to be more real. More what your day is like. Music has to be more like a film. I love listening to film soundtracks because they capture lots of different moods. It allows human feelings to exist, the music allows you to be a bit unpredictable whereas pop music today is so clinical and sterile. There's so much bad pop music around that people don't believe in magic anymore.

* * are bands that I particularly like more than others

Movies:

What I specially like are movies done intelligently and visually beautiful...but sometimes I just like to be entertained and have a good laugh.
I usually rent some movies instead of going to the movie theater. Rare are the movies that are worthy of seeing these days and all of the masterpiece have already been done.
Some directors I really like: Andrei Tarkovsky (my all time favorite), Tsai Ming-Liang (in second place), BÃ©la Tarr, Michael Haneke, Robert Bresson, Theo Angelopoulos, Werner Herzog, Peter Greenaway, Jean-Luc Godard, Ingmar Bergram, LÃ©os Carax, Bruno Dumont, Yasujiro Ozu, Alain Tanner, Michelangelo Antonioni, Aleksandr Sokurov, Volker SchlÃ¶ndorff, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Win Wenders, Andrzej Wajda, Carl Theodor Dreyer, Carlos Saura, FranÃ§ois Truffaut, Jean-Pierre et Luc Dardenne, Gaspar NoÃ©, Hou Hsiao-Hsien, Lars Von Trier, Krzysztof Kieslowski, Luis Bunuel, Philippe Garrel, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Roy Andersson, Terrence Malick, Terry Gilliam.

Television:

Not much time for TV when you watch 8 movies a week. But when I do catch something interesting, it's usually the daily show, the colbert report or I'll see if there is anything interesting at ARTV, TV5 or TÃ©lÃ©-quÃ©bec.

Books:

The Lucifer Principle volume 1 and 2 by Howard Bloom. That guy's a genius. DostoÃ¯evski, Tchekhov, Nietzsche, Boris Vian, Proust, Albert Camus, Gabriel GarcÃa MÃ¡rquez, Agota Kristof, Hemingway, Guillaume Apollinaire, les auteurs franÃ§ais du Nouveau Roman, Noam Chomsky, GÃ¼nther Anders etc.
