Good Night & Good Luck

Just finished watching watching the movie, "good night and good luck".
couldn't sympathize with the story, although from cinematography point of view, it was a piece of work, each scene was a well managed photo for itself.

Anyway, its a true story about how a CBS reporter Ed and his producer Fred challenge and attack senator McCarthy for exploiting threat of communism in 1960s. I don't wanna go into the plot, but liked one of the closing conversations between Ed and Fred:

- Senate's gonna vote to censure McCarthy tomorrow.
- Probably.
               
- And then what happens?
- He sits in the back row.
- Right.
               
- They keep him in the Senate. They don't kick him out.
- No, he stays.

People like McCarthy are ruling our world, people who won't easily quit, no matter how disgraceful they have behaved. The most we can do is to sent them to the back seat for a short while, till they fight their way into the front seat again and again. If we choose to take the stand, we'd better be prepared for the never ending fight.

Being Julia

you like 'em but they don't
you need 'em but they don't
you fall in love with 'em but they don't

you comfort them, they deceive you
you sacrifice yourself, they step over you

whose fault is it?
It's not Julia's fault to believe in love
It is the boy's selfishness to pretend to be in love just to sleep with her

It's not Julia's fault to have faith,
It is the boy's disloyalty to throw her away once he is done with her

but it is Julia's fault to have belief or faith in men

زندگی صحنه ی یکتای هنرمندی ماست
هرکسی نغمه ی خود خواند وازصحنه رود
صحنه پیوسته بجاست
خرم آن نغمه که مردم به سپارند به یاد
