La vida es extraña

No me dejo de sorprender como a veces con sólo estar solo en una habitación, con una luz tenue, una canción adecuada y pensar en la persona que amo, absolutamente todo lo demás pasa a un segundo plano; problemas, preocupaciones, frustraciones y dolores estomacales.

I want to take a road trip.

...Until the end of the world

"Solveig Dommartin and I had written the story of our film together, and we thought that we only had the right to enter into such a sacred area like a persons's dreams, if we would bring something into the work that was sacred to ourselves".

I know I haven't written for a long time, but you know, sometimes you don't feel that something interesting happen in your daily life for writing about it. Anyway today is not a day like that, I felt, feel with the willing for writing.

There is always something that you desperately want it, something that you have been looking for years in everywhere but you can not find. That "thing" can be a very common thing for everyone else, but it has a special meaning for you, something that no one else can see.

Well I have to confess that since 1994 I have been looking for a movie that I never found in Mexico neither in the U.S., not in VHS format nor even in DVD. In fact a few years ago I found it on the web in Laserdisk (do you remember that format?) in Japan! Ironically in my house there was a device for it. Unfortunatelly once, in a house deep cleaning day it disappeared...

A couple of years after I found it again in DVD format in German, so it ment the disk was region 2. I tried to get it but the seller assured me that my DVD player wasn't able to read it. (it was when no ones know about breking the DVD players' region code)

Anyway I was very sad and upset that this move wasn't availble in North America, so I just hope that one day in a yard sale or a thrift store I find it, even in VHS. But the miracle happens 15 years later thanks to my il mio amore and e-bay (sorry if it sounds like a commercial but I don't mean that).

So today after 15 years I could watch again this movie and remember why is my favorite dearest movie in all the time (well until now) and remember what this move means to me. Some people can say that this movie is nothing special, but for me, it has a huge message that sometimes I need to remember once in a while.

Life is no easy for no one, and we can try to runaway to different places thinking that we will be able to have a new beging leaving our problems behind. but true is that our issues are inside of us and they will follow up wherever we go, even to the end of the world.

thanks Wim Wenders for the exquisite piece of art. I hope one day you read this post and one other day I have the opportinity to know you. and for Solveig Dommartin, thanks also not only for this move but all the ones you made. God bless you angel.
