ler II - Vagabond (Takehiko Inoue)

Plot Summary: Growing up in 17th century Sengoku era Japan, Shinmen Takezou is shunned by the local villagers as a devil child due to his wild and violent nature. Running away from home with a fellow boy at age 17, Takezou joins the Toyotomi army to fight the Tokugawa clan at the battle of Sekigahara. However, the Tokugawa win a crushing victory, leading to nearly three hundred years of Shogunate rule. Takezou and his friend manage to survive the battle, and afterwards swear to do great things with their lives. But after their paths seperate, Takezou becomes a wanted criminal, and must change his name and his nature in order to escape an ignoble death. Based on the book "Musashi" by Eiji Yoshikawa, Vagabond is a fictional retelling of the life of Miyamoto Mushashi, often referred to as the "Sword Saint" - perhaps the most famous and successful of Japan's sword fighters.

What is the Story of Stuff?

From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It'll teach you something, it'll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever.

"I Met The Walrus"

In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon's hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview about peace. 38 years later, Jerry has produced a film about it. Using the original interview recording as the soundtrack, director Josh Raskin has woven a visual narrative which tenderly romances Lennon's every word in a cascading flood of multipronged animation. Raskin marries the terrifyingly genius pen work of James Braithwaite with masterful digital illustration by Alex Kurina, resulting in a spell-binding vessel for Lennon's boundless wit, and timeless message.

ler I - Noites Brancas (F. Dostoievski)

<<[...] nos caracteres ansiosos de actividade, mas fracos, femininos, ternos nasce a pouco e pouco aquilo a que se chama "sonhadorismo", e o homem deixa de ser homem, torna-se numa espécie esquesita...- o sonhador [...] A realidade produz no coração do sonhador uma impressão grave, hostil, e então apressa-se a meter-se no seu cantinho secreto e dourado, que na realidade é, não raro, poeirento, desmazelado, desarrumado e porco. A pouco e pouco, o nosso rebeldecomeça a alienar-se dos interesses comuns e, gradualmente, imperceptivelmente, começa a embotar-se nele o talento de viver na vida real. >>

* F. Dostoievski, Noites Brancas; Assirio & Alvim
