Anthony Hopkins and ee cummings
I’m so excited. :)
I love poetry. Oddly, I don’t own many poetry books, and neither do I read a lot of it (other then my own stuff, or my friend’s, occasionally). Paradoxical, isn’t it?
Oh well. :) It doesn’t matter since, POETRY IS STARTING! We got ee cummings, whose writing has the prettiness and descriptiveness that I love, and the twistedness that Stephanie loves.
I’m very excited.
Other then that, we handed in our ISUs (finally), had our test, and watched some of Titus. Anthony Hopkins is neat. Hannibal Lector was always my favourite villain.
And I’ve told this to 4 people now, I know, but that scene where Levinia/Lavinia opens her mouth and sort of spits blood when she’s up on the stump…
It was gorgeous. In a completely twisted, heartbreaking, macabre way. But the way that it was shot, the music, the actress…
It completely fascinated me. 15 seconds of cinematic /art/.
(Then again, I feel like I’m falling into a trap of iffyish art… being affected by something that was so obviously meant to affect people. I mean, the girl had sticks for hands. Or does that just mean I’m human?)
Well, I think I’ll stop now before I sound too creepy.
