thoughts in chaos

long is the way and hard that out of hell leads up to the light. [john milton] [life] is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. [shakespeare]

beyond good and evil (I)

we might know the actor johnny depp better for his recent role as captain jack sparrow in the pirates of the caribbean movies - a great performance, no doubt about it. but to be honest, the role of his life was not jack sparrow - it was something he did with tim burton eighteen years ago.



and seeing the movie again, almost eighteen years since the last time, i couldn't help but feel it was even better than i remembered - definetely one of the best movies i've ever seen (as someone said, if this had been the only movie by tim burton, it'd have been worth his life), with one of the most impressive characters ever made. for edward is beyond good and evil, beyond love and hate, beyond any absolute feeling. he is what he is, a mesh of flesh and bone and guts, always incomplete, always without a place in the world. funny that in a way, he kinda reminds me of someone i know all too well...

  • denial and backbone
  • the blog-thing-world (i'm out of my mind today)
