One of balm I've found to face the world again is this piece of Hanss Zimmer for the soundtrack of "The Thin Red Line."
The film caught my attention by the brutal contrast between the action and the environment: a slaughter amid an unforgettable paraíso.Escenas como la del isleño que se cruza al pelotón americano, totalmente ajeno a ses montón de hombres blancos, armados hasta los dientes y a los que no dedicó ni un segundo de su atención. Recuerdo también que , en medio de una batalla sangrienta, la cámara desviava el foco de la acción hasa unanimal o una planta, rompiendo los esquemas típicos de cualquier película bélica.
Recuerdo también algunas frases que ahora me vienen sin remedio a la mente:
" This great evil--where's it come from? How'd it steal into the world? What seed, what root did it grow from? Who's doing this? Who's killing us, robbing us of life and light, mocking us with the sight of What We Might Known? Does Benefit Our ruin the earth, aid the grass to grow and the sun to shine? Is this darkness in you too? Have You Passed Through This Night? "
These questions are those that are asking the families of those who have lost their people in the London bombings, Baghdad, Madrid, etc.
Another phrase more disturbing and I'm still hanging around:
"One man looks at a dying bird and Thinks There's Nothing But unanswered pain. That death's got the final word, it's laughing at him. Another man That Same bird Sees, Feels the glory, Something Feels Smiling Through it. "
Meanwhile, I keep hearing that song that gets me out of reverie in which I am immersed in the last couple of weeks
