dia mundial da fotografia

robin williams (1951 - 2014)

infeliz desenlace de um dos actores mais hilariantes de sempre, que conseguia ser igualmente brilhante em papéis dramáticos. o seu virtuosismo não poderá nunca ser esquecido. filmes como "bom dia vietname", "o clube dos poetas mortos", "despertares", "the fisher king" e "good will hunting" servirão para mostrar aos vindouros quem foi robin williams, um homem que fazia rir toda a gente enquanto chorava por dentro. até sempre captain...

escrito em setembro de 2007:

nascido a 21 de julho de 1951, robin williams é um dos poucos actores que me consegue fazer rir desalmadamente e fazer chorar com enorme facilidade. entrou em alguns dos meus filmes preferidos, tanto cómicos como dramáticos, e é um comediante nato, como provam os seus espectáculos de stand up ou as suas improvisadas aparições em programas como "tonight show with jay leno" ou "late night with conan o'brien", chegando a ser avassaladora a velocidade com que debita o seu material humorístico, sempre com inúmeras referências culturais, políticas, desportivas e televisivas.

fez o seu primeiro papel cinematográfico em "popeye", em 1980. com o fracasso do filme, voltou para a televisão, onde protagonizou, com sucesso, a série "mork & mindy". em 1982, no excelente filme "estranho mundo de garp", robin williams teve o seu primeiro papel dramático. mas foi apenas em 1987 que atingiu o reconhecimento mundial, com o filme "good morning vietnam", pelo qual foi nomeado para o óscar de melhor actor principal (perdeu para michael douglas, com "wall street"). dois anos depois, novo sucesso: "dead poets society", com uma notável interpretação que lhe valeu outra nomeação para os óscares (desta vez perdeu a estatueta para daniel day lewis, com "my left foot"). a década de 90 seria a da confirmação. o actor protagonizou grandes êxitos de bilheteira, ao ritmo de um por ano: "awakenings" (1990), ao lado de robert de niro; "hook" (1991), de steven spielberg; "aladdin" (1992), dando voz ao génio da lâmpada; "mrs. doubtfire" (1993), interpretando o papel de uma ama; "nine months" (1994), com hugh grant e julianne moore; "jumanji" (1995); "the birdcage" (1996), com nathan lane; "good will hunting" (1997), filme pelo qual recebeu a sua quarta nomeação para os óscares (depois de "good morning vietnam", "dead poets society" e "the fisher king"), vencendo naquela ocasião o óscar de melhor actor secundário; e "patch adams" (1998). 1999 foi um ano aziago para robin williams, com dois flops: "bicentennial man" e "jakob the liar". na década de 90, o actor trabalhou ainda com realizadores com woody allen ("deconstructing harry"), kenneth brannagh ("hamlet" e "dead again"), francis ford coppola ("jack"), barry levinson ("toys") e ivan reitman ("father's day").

na presente década, a carreira de robin williams tem sido muito menos profícua, embora mais diversificada em termos de registo de interpretação. desde logo, pelos papéis de "mau da fita" em filmes como "one hour photo" (2002) e "insomnia" (2002); depois pelos thrillers "the final cut" (2004), "the big white" (2005) e "the night listener" (2006). só em 2006 robin williams voltou à comédia, e logo com três filmes: "rv", "night at the museum" e "man of the year" (num papel verdadeiramente à sua medida, tanto em termos cómicos como dramáticos). já este ano, estreou em portugal o filme "license to wed", mais uma comédia, com mandy moore.

em termos de projectos futuros, robin williams faz parte do elenco de "august rush", que vai estrear em novembro nos estados unidos, ao lado de jonathan rhys meyers e keri russell. para 2008 estão previstas as estreias de "old dogs" e "the krazees". o primeiro filme é uma comédia, com um elenco de luxo: john travolta, robin williams, kelly preston, matt dillon, bernie mac e seth green. o segundo filme, uma comédia familiar, está ainda em pré-produção.

em abril de 2010:

o melhor remédio contra depressões e afins. é impossível assistir a este dvd e ficar mais de 10 segundos sem rir. já andava há algum tempo a "namorar" este dvd, hoje comprei-o finalmente. será muito útil naqueles dias sombrios e taciturnos, em que a escuridão ameaça instalar-se. robin williams, esse grande e multifacetado actor, em toda a sua virtuosidade cómica, num regresso, 16 anos depois, ao espectáculo de stand-up. já tinha colocado neste blog alguns excertos deste mesmo espectáculo, retirados do you tube. se quiserem ter uma ideia do que é este dvd, basta escreverem "robin williams" na barra de pesquisa, aqui mesmo do lado direito, e procurarem nas respostas que vão aparecer os referidos clips do you tube. robin williams é impagável, hilariante, magnífico... um dos grandes vultos do humor a nível mundial.

em setembro de 2007:

este é um daqueles filmes obrigatórios! uma verdadeira odisseia pela redenção pessoal, materializada na busca do santo graal, protagonizada por dois magníficos actores: jeff bridges e robin williams. curiosamente, quem venceu um óscar, em 1991, pela sua participação neste filme (aliás o único, entre quatro nomeações) foi a actriz secundária mercedes ruehl. robin williams foi nomeado para o óscar de melhor actor, mas viria a perder para anthony hopkins, no filme "o silêncios dos inocentes", que nesse ano arrecadou as principais estatuetas. jeff bridges, mais uma vez, foi esquecido pela academia, apesar da sua brilhante interpretação em "the fisher king". realizado por terry gilliam, um dos elementos dos célebres monty python, esta tragico-comédia narra a improvável história de amizade entre jack lucas (jeff bridges), um famoso dj de nova iorque, e um professor de história sem abrigo (parry), interpretado por robin williams, que vive num mundo de fantasia, povoado de castelos, cavaleiros e damas em apuros. um trágico acontecimento, em parte provocado pela arrogância do dj, que no seu programa de rádio instiga um ouvinte, com problemas de adaptação, a insugir-se contra as pessoas que o ostracizam, muda drasticamente as vidas de ambos: o dj perde o emprego e, sem dinheiro e com a carreira arruinada, inicia uma vertiginosa descida ao submundo citadino, onde conhece parry, um simpático e prestável sem abrigo, que tinha uma vida perfeitamente normal, com carreira profissional (professor de história), até ao tal trágico acontecimento, que tirou a vida à sua mulher, mesmo diante dos seus olhos. sentindo-se responsável pela descida de parry ao inferno, jack tenta ajudar parry a voltar a ser o homem que era e a libertar-se dos seus demónios. ao mesmo tempo, recebe a ajuda de anne napolitano (mercedes ruehl), dona de um clube de vídeo, que lhe dá emprego e o recebe em sua casa. a "viagem" que encetam em busca da redenção está repleta de episódios inesquecíveis. escrito por richard lagravenese, responsável pelo argumento de filmes como "the bridges of madison county", "the horse whisperer", "the mirror has two faces" e desse fabuloso filme que é "unstrung heroes", realizado por diane keaton e com andie macdowell, john turturro e michael richards no elenco, "the fisher king" é um filme marcante, com sentido de humor, grande sensibilidade, histórias de amor pouco ou nada convencionais, personagens inesquecíveis e excelente fotografia. mas o que dá mais prazer neste filme, acima de tudo e no meio de tantas virtudes, é assistir às duas magistrais interpretações de robin williams e jeff bridges. para ver, rever e guardar religiosamente.

jeff buckley

17 de novembro de 1966 - 29 de maio de 1997

passam hoje 17 anos desde o desaparecimento deste enorme talento.
com 30 anos apenas, jeff buckley deixou-nos um dos melhores discos da década de 90, "grace", editado em 1994, e uma enorme legião de admiradores que não se cansam de o citar como grande influência musical. "jeff buckley é uma gota cristalina num oceano de ruídos", referiu bono vox. david bowie chegou mesmo a eleger o disco como "the best album ever made". o que é cert...o é que "grace" vendeu muito menos do que o esperado, tal a qualidade do disco. tal como nick drake, que também faleceu muito novo (26 anos), buckley teve muito mais sucesso depois da sua morte do que em vida. jeff era filho do músico e cantor tim buckley, que faleceu igualmente novo (28 anos), mas numa altura em que já tinha editado nove discos.
tirando as datas e os números, ficam as músicas. essas ninguém as pode levar...

o que não se diz

falha-se o momento, perde-se a oportunidade... e o mundo avança, sem piedade, sem contemplações. mais uma ruga, mais 134 cabelos brancos, mais uma colecção de frases que deveriam ter sido proferidas em determinado momento mas que só nos surgem horas depois. a vida é construída de pequenos nadas, em que até uma mera palavra, dita no momento exacto e com a respectiva eloquência, pode fazer toda a diferença, seja no emprego, na vida pessoal, familiar ou numa colectividade recreativa e social. até pode ser uma palavra tão simples como "sim", "não" ou "trombocitopenia". a questão é dizê-la quando realmente interessa, quando ela pode fazer toda a diferença. acumular sentimentos, remoer amarguras sem as extravasar, reviver momentos passados ao segundo, analisando todas as palavrinhas, vírgulas e pontos finais, é tão saudável como andar de bicicleta em fukushima.

o tempo que se gasta

o tempo que passamos longe das pessoas de quem gostamos é interminável. por outro lado, o tempo que gastamos, ou perdemos, com pessoas que não nos dizem nada é uma monstruosa amargura. há certamente pessoas com quem queremos estar, que querem estar connosco. mas quando olhamos à volta, vemos que não são aquelas que nos rodeiam. é praticamente um genocídio sentimental...

o meu filme

já muita gente me perguntou, ou fui eu que pensei, tanto faz, como seria um filme baseado na minha vida. depois de muita ponderação, cheguei à conclusão de que seria uma espécie de "groundhog day" (o filme em que bill murray é obrigado a reviver o mesmo dia... todos os dias, encontrando sempre as mesmas pessoas e passando constantemente pelas mesmas situações), mas com muito menos piada, obviamente. resultaria um "groundhog day" como se fosse realizado por manoel de oliveira, o que, ainda por cima, significaria que eu teria que arranjar papéis para o luís miguel cintra, a leonor silveira e o ricardo trêpa (como se já não existissem suficientes personagens aborrecidas no "meu" filme).

amizades convenientes

há quem acredite que a partir de uma certa idade se perde o luxo de ter amigos só por amizade. inventam-se novas categorias: "amigos de amigos", "amigos de familiares", "amigo que dá jeito porque eu não faço ideia de como se compõe uma persiana", "amigo que um dia me pode ser muito útil quando quiser abrir uma loja de peças para torradeiras", "amigo que me leva o carro à inspecção todos os anos se eu lhe pedir", etc.. a vida obriga muito boa gente a alargar os seus horizontes em termos sociais, dando especial relevo à via profissionalizante. eu limito-me a ficar contente quando sou atendido nos cafés...

a pergunta

quando conhecemos alguém, como por exemplo um novo colega de trabalho, qual é a pergunta mais frequentemente colocada? de onde és? que idade tens? já namoras? sabes a tabuada dos 9? há uma quantidade infinita de questões a colocar, no sentido de ficarmos a saber algo mais sobre essa pessoa nova e de, no futuro, podermos utilizar algumas das suas respostas em conversas mais demoradas. no entanto, existe uma pergunta cuja resposta, a meu ver, é bem definidora da pessoa que temos à nossa frente (ou ao lado, caso estejamos a conduzir): "o que é que te faz rir?". é suficiente e poupa-nos imensas horas de análise.

resignações

sou uma pessoa muito bem sucedida a nível social...

engraçado, já tinha ouvido falar em pessoas que não conseguiam acabar uma frase porque se começavam a rir.
nunca tinha constatado que acontece o mesmo quando se escreve...

provérbios pouco populares

eis as minhas falhadas tentativas de inventar um provérbio:
- as pessoas são sobrevalorizadas, mas os animais, apesar de bons ouvintes, raramente dão bons conselhos;
- sempre que tiveres fome, atira um homem de sorte ao mar e ele regressará com um peixe na boca; se não tiveres fome, atira-o ao mar na mesma, apenas pelo gozo;
- nunca invejes aqueles que têm um coração grande, porque mais tarde ou ...mais cedo eles vão ter sérios problemas coronários;
- se quiseres alimentar alguém, dá-lhe um dos teus peixes; mas se o ensinares a pescar podes ter a certeza de que essa pessoa vai ter uma vida social bastante enfadonha;
- calças vermelhas em abril, sinal de que estás a ficar senil;
- uma maçã por dia mantém o médico longe de tua casa, mas as contas na mercearia vão ser cada vez maiores;
- nunca duvides da palavra do senhor, especialmente se ele tiver um canivete suiço na mão;
- o pensamento positivo pode afastar-te de muitos tormentos, mas nunca será suficiente quando a tua mulher te mandar às compras.

the secret life of walter mitty

claramente um daqueles casos de entusiasmo arrebatador, do género de filmes que se acaba de ver e apetece ver de novo logo a seguir. a interpretação de ben stiller é espantosa e é por aí que a nossa paixão se começa a desenrolar, mas a fotografia, a banda sonora (arcade fire, junip), as doses correctas de comédia, acção e drama, o nunca resvalar para a lamechice pegada, a doçura de kristen wiig, o carisma de sean penn, um inesquecível karaoke na gronelânida, um jogo de futebol no afeganistão, as belas paisagens da islândia e, como cereja no topo do bolo, aquele final, com a foto que despoletou toda a acção do filme. para não esquecer tão cedo, certamente.
e ouvir essa fantástica música chamada "don't let it pass", dos junip, num momento particularmente tocante do filme, foi o chamado climax cinematográfico.

27 de março

 

27 de março de 1999.
27 de março de 2005.
dois dias. dois filhos.
duas dádivas da natureza no mesmo dia;
um amor incondicional para o resto da vida.
dois motivos para sorrir todos os dias!
ser pai é aquilo de que mais me orgulho.
espero que eles, ontem, hoje e amanhã, se orgulhem igualmente de mim.

as minhas tardes são mais belas que os vossos dias

snowbird - moon

admirador, durante vários anos, dos cocteau twins, nunca me pensou pela cabeça que um dia a banda, que se desintegrou em 1997, de forma pouco simpática, pudesse algum dia voltar a juntar-se. os anos encarregaram-se de comprovar isso mesmo, tendo simon raymonde, robin guthrie e elizabeth fraser seguido caminhos diferentes nas respectivas carreiras.
raymonde e guthrie criaram a editora bella union, responsável pela descoberta de bandas como fleet foxes, midlake, the czars, beach house, the dears, explosions in the sky e cantores como john grant, laura veirs, andrew bird e j. tillman.
robin guthrie, juntamente com siobhan de maré, criou os violet indiana, em 2000, um projecto musical cuja sonoridade não andava muito longe da dos cocteau twins. mais tarde, lançou dois discos instrumentais, com a colaboração de harold budd. elizabeth fraser participou em vários discos, emprestando a sua belíssima voz em trabalhos dos massive attack, craig armstrong, yann tiersen, felt e peter gabriel.
em 2009, simon raymond formou, com a cantora stephanie dosen, que também tinha lançado através da sua editora, a bella union, a banda snowbird. o duo foi trabalhando, ao longo dos anos, em arranjos musicais e letras para as músicas. raymond, em inglaterra, criava as melodias ao piano e enviava-as para o outro lado do atlântico para dosen, que tinha a responsabilidade de fazer as letras. o duo estreou-se ao vivo em junho de 2009, na altura já com material suficiente para um disco, que só viria a conhecer a luz do dia em... fevereiro de 2014. "moon" foi lançado no início do mês e conta com a colaborações de músicos como ed o'brien e philip selway, dos radiohead, eric pulido e mckenzie Smith, dos midlake, e paul gregory, dos lanterns on the lake.
ouvido o disco, uma, duas, três vezes, fica-se com a sensação de que poderia ser assim que os cocteau twins soariam hoje em dia se não tivessem acabado em 1997. é claro que falta aqui a mestria de robin guthrie e que a maior parte dos arranjos são feitos ao piano, que não era o instrumento de eleição dos cocteau twins, mas a voz de stephanie dosen é tão parecida com a de elizabeth fraser (algo que até pensava ser impossível, porque fraser tem uma daquelas vozes singulares) que quase acreditamos que eles estão de volta.
"moon" tem onze músicas. é um daqueles discos que se ouve vezes sem conta, sem enjoar, do início ao fim. deixo-vos com quatro músicas, por sinal as que gosto mais: "all wishes are ghosts", "in lovely", "porcelain" e "amelia".

snowbird -amelia

In the prairie with the sheep
I fall to reap a wreath of bay berries,
To crown the horses in your heart.

I can't tame them for a thousand frozen days
They're wild as a storm, pulling the house down.

Five feathers of a swan, to bind with Queen Anne's lace
And silver wheat, to crown the horses in your heart.

I can't tame them for a thousand frozen days
They're wild as a storm, tearing the house down.

I can't tame them for a thousand frozen days
They're wild as a storm.

Oh, Amelia, Amelia fair, Starry eyed, (Amelia fair)
Ooo, Amelia, Amelia fair, Starry eyed, (Amelia fair)

Oo, Oh, Amelia, Wild as a storm….

snowbird - porcelain

you stand so still,
your hands and fingers made of porcelain,
holding me

snowbird - all wishes are ghosts

All wishes are ghosts, letting days go by.
They hide out like ghosts in the snow.

And I'm a singing sparrow.
You had me a ghost letting day.
And then made me ghosts.

Let days in fright.
They move their things to say, where it is coming.
Where you have company.

All wishes are ghosts, letting days go by.
They hide out like ghosts in the snow.
And I'm a singing sparrow.
You had me a ghost letting day.

snowbird - in lovely

Once upon a time, I had you in my mind.
Honey don’t you feel the same, in lovely.

Once upon a time, when the moon was on my side,
We fell as one, in lovely.

And your hazy movie smile, in black and white, your eyes behind,
A shadow of a doubt in lovely.

So what now, what now will I do,
When I gave everything I am to you.
And I drift like the smoke on a black and white screen,
Endlessly, oh endlessly in lovely.

So I’m packing up my things,
The railway train will take me through,
The stations of our love, the way I used to mean the world to you.

Just before I go, I’ll leave you what I need the most,
My heart so you can hold it,
And remember me when I was still in lovely.

So what now, what now will I do,
When I gave everything I am to you.
And I drift like the smoke on a black and white screen,
Endlessly, oh endlessly in lovely.
