Experiencing English
Two days ago the New British Film Festival has started in Moscow. Guys, you must be there! (it'll be in Samara, Novosibirsk, Omsk as well).
Today I watched the movie "Festival" and it's really really good.
If you like this sort of american movies in which everything is clear in the end, happy end & which are funny in a way "that-is-a-joke-about-sex" you can be bored, of course.
(I tried to write smth about the movie here but failed - I need more time to understand what it was for me. But overwise, it's a good recomendation, cause there are not so many movies that make me thinking)
***
I'm hesitating now - what to do in the beginning of November...Go to the West REC? Apply for international conference? Spend time in Moscow working & preparing for the East REC?
To be sincere, I want to stay at home, to read a lot, to relax, to attend some master-classes in the university...
High speed of AIESEC life is still interesting, still importnat for me, but one day you start to think about what do you really want. I mean that really. What is really important and what is less important. Or, i'd better say Valuable. I feel, that need to learn & experience more to share it.
But the other side is that I'm afraid of making my life slower. People who know me even a little bit are nodding here, dont' you?:) I was always like a racer in Formula 1 - few seconds at pit-stop, few weeks in hospital & moving, moving, moving. A bottle of shampaign in case of the victory and again...
Using the metaphora of the races - now I'm thinking: if I really want to drive? Or it's time to become a coach? A manager of the team? A constructor of the cars?
And this moment of making decision: you are still in the sport with your actions, but you are at the same time somwhere else with your mind.
***
It's too long & boring, I think.
What else I'd like to share?
Yeasterday I've passed my exam in history of foreign cinematography - it's a kind of things that everyone thinks he knows. Fellini, Vittorio de Sica, fon Trier, Rosselini, Godar (I'm not sure if I write the surnames in English correctly) - of course I'll bla-bla-bla smth!
But I was reading the book for the whole day and a half and finished only french impressionism! Can you imagine?
And the most interesting thing is the connection of the film's history with the history, with the society, with economics, politics etc.
I was always wondering - why don't we learn everything in complex - in school, university?
You can learn financial analysis oh whatever which is not so close to real life (sorry, guys) separatly, but such things as history, literature, geography...never!
