RELATIONSHIPS ON THE VERGE OF APOCALYPSE

გლობალური კატასტროფისა და მთელი პლანეტის სიკვდილის იდეა ახალი არ არის, მაგრამ ამჟამინდელ კრიზისულ სამყაროში ის უფრო მიმზიდველია. მასზე საუბრები განსაკუთრებით გახშირდა 2012 წელს, როდესაც მაიას კალენდრის მიხედვით გლობალური კატასტროფა იყო მოსალოდნელი. ახლა ეს უკვე წარსულია და მას კინოში ბევრი ნამუშევარი მიეძღვნა. ამ თემას არაერთმა რეჟისორმა მიმართა. მათ შორის არიან სტივენ სპილბერგი და ლარს ფონ ტრიერი. …

მთები, გზები, შემოქმედება

მთები და გზები – ხიფათიანი, ძნელადსავალი… მთები და გზები… მათ არ უყვართ სუსტნი და მერყევნი. დასაბამიდან მოდის ასე: ვინც მთას შეუდგება, ვინც გზაზე ფეხს შედგამს, რწმენა უნდა ჰქონდეს მტკიცე, მიზანი ნათელი, ნებისყოფა შეურყეველი. თუ არადა მთა გადაულახავია, გზა – გაუვლელი… ჭეშმარიტი ხელოვნებაც მუდამ ფიქრია, მუდამ განსჯაა ცხოვრებაზე, ადამიანთა სავალ გზებზე, იმაზე, რომ გზა დიდია და …

LIFE SACRIFICED TO PERSONAL INTERESTS

Being human means being a merciless, cruel, selfish creature, who will always put self and personal interests before anything else in any situation or condition. This cruelty does not necessarily mean any kind of violence, but simply indifference, even inaction. When a person is an artist and is in a creative crisis, it should not cause surprise in others if his indifference is turned into cruelty and he has emotionless attitude towards circumstances, and perception and observation ...

LIFE AS A MASQUERADE

Man is a small, pitiful creature. He only thinks about his own well-being. He has a big ego that he satisfies and feeds all his life, he doesn't look beyond himself, he doesn't care what happens to others and how he will be, he doesn't want to bare his feelings and care for the other person, he doesn't recognize other people's problems until it affects him directly. He thinks that the more he puts his "self" forward, puffs out his heart and walks like that, the better he will appear in others’ eyes. People, sometimes, are so weak that they build their happiness on the misfortune ...
