What Amelie stands for

Two films by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, the creator of the well-known Amelie Poulenc, has existed even before the film popped out, and namely produced two main works, of which I will talk tonight: La Cité des enfants perdus (The city of lost children), 1995, and Delicatessen, 1991. Albeit la Cité is more recent than Delicatessen, Delicatessen is so very much better, since it reaches an equilibrium that is later only aggravated, broken, stigmatized. The two films mirror each other, albeit Cité is about children and dreams, and Delicatessen about selfish adultness. But, apart from this, everything returns: the grotesque, the little flourishing in a disintegrated, post-apocalyptic world of innocence and freshness, unconsciousness, and a final destruction triggered by the divine, unconcious operating of the sinergy of two innocent human beings. http://www.bbc.co.uk/films/2001/02/08/delicatessen_1991_review.shtml Recurrent themes in the two films are the circus, the underground living, the

Love. Full stop.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love As an abstract concept, love usually refers to a deep, ineffable feeling of tenderly caring for another person. I left today a person that I cherished, for which I felt something, and which I felt, felt something for me. But. This person is not free. I read about two lovers who are re-joining again in America after one year of separation. But. I have nothing like that. I have a person who just do not care. I feel ready for loving and being loved, but I am here, alone. I am frustrated about that. This is gloomy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love Love is any of a number of emotions and experiences related to a sense of strong affection [1] and attachment . The word love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure ("I loved that meal") to intense interpersonal attraction ("I love my boyfriend").

Berlusconianism and the Modern State

By Clara Schulze Italian TV news failed to adequately report on the latest scandal surrounding Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi – namely, the alleged attempt by a real estate manager to bribe the premier using women instead of money. The newspaper “La Repubblica”, which has instead extensively covered the story, also pointed out that 4 Italians out of 5 do not read newspapers, but rely entirely on TV news. This may be a common international trend, but in Italy it is a reason for worry since 85% of major Italian TV news are owned by Silvio Berlusconi himself. It is part of Italian culture to take an anti-scandalistic perspective on happenings, especially if they are unrelated to political performance. Still, it is true that the non-existence of a decent political opposition in Italy has helped the deterioration of political accountability and transparency and this has been reflected in the quality of information available to citizens. The character that media communication has tak
