Seeing the engaging eyes of the real soul

Great film invigorates people. Most all of us need some vehicle of true relaxation. For some it is the tough regimen of exercise. But for many people it can be realized through exciting mediums of introspective film art. This may sound so pretentious but truly when one experiences a shrewd, exquisite work like S. Kubrick's 'Eyes Wide Shut' or the brittle and satirically loaded mind fireworks of Gen. K. and his 'Dr. Strangelove' well then it rapidly comes to mind that this is what life is about. For those of us who had not many oh my goodness times, it smacks of absolute joy the first time one sees an illuminating performance like that of N, Kidman in 'Eyes.' Also, the special times like observing DeNiro in 'GoodFellas' are so wild yes so huge as the savvy ones now say. Going into the soul of the brain's layers is an entrance into a bright shining lighthouse of numerous dimensions into the concept area of terrific mindset variables. It used to be disconcerting to hear some folks make fun of we guys who said bizarre words like concepts. But now as the age of senior officer is reached the blunt hilarity of some and their brand of pithy 'baiting' is just too obvious. For these really the things they do not grasp must be made fun of. But remember 'real' is what it is all about. When one listens to the music of the great horn men like Benny Golson and Art Farmer then it enables a mind to go bounding into the exhilarating stratosphere of something that is not just a short, strange ride on an amusement park roller coaster. It is so much more. Show true trust and get deeply into the fabric of the emotions and then the mind has transformation into a strong vibraphone tide like that of bopping with Milt Jackson, el vibo, for the first time. Films like Glenn Ford's 'Gilda' help to propel us whooping into a shining new sphere. And anything by Coppola mesmerizes.

Nice Writing

THE GOOD terse writing of Ernest Hemingway is a real joy.  He does not use too many adjectives.  His 'Torrents' is a fine tome.
