Steve Jobs: Your time is limited... follow your heart

Your time is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinion drowned your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary

Movie Review: In Search of a Midnight Kiss (2007)

http://movies.nytimes.com/2008/08/01/movies/01kiss.html

August 1, 2008
Hopeful Misanthrope Seeks Same

By MANOHLA DARGIS

Lightly sweetened and just a touch bitter, the romantic comedy “In Search of a Midnight Kiss” treads familiar if appealing ground. Written and directed by Alex Holdridge, and made with high hopes and a conspicuously low budget, this feature-length drift across the modern landscape of love and desire suggests that in the age of MySpace (not YourSpace or OurSpace), hooking up has become harder than ever, an idea neatly encapsulated by one of the kickier first-date dialogues in recent movie memory:

“What are you looking for?,” a man asks.

“The love of my life,” a woman answers.

“On Craigslist?”

Apparently it isn’t easy to score if you have hit the loser trifecta: you’ve broken up with your girlfriend, you’re newly transplanted to Los Angeles and you want to be (poor soul) a screenwriter. For Wilson (a very fine Scoot McNairy), a scruffy depressive with spooked eyes whose longing pushes the story forward and a wee bit sideways, no place is lonelier than home, especially if it’s doing double duty as a passion shack. From his corner of the cramped apartment that he shares with his longtime friend Jacob (Brian Matthew McGuire) and Jacob’s sexy, underdressed girlfriend, Min (Katy Luong), Wilson has been afforded an uncomfortably close view of other people’s happiness. It’s a pretty enough picture, though not if you’re feeling as laid low by life as Wilson is.

“In Search of a Midnight Kiss” is largely about how this likable pup gets off the bench, the couch, his bed — out of his head and into the world — which means it’s about growing up. That makes it a heroic voyage, of sorts, and also prosaic, though mainly in a good way. Most of the movie’s low-key charm is in its close-to-the-ground verisimilitude, evident both in the contours of its grungy urban locations and in Wilson’s struggle. He isn’t desperate, just stuck. (Help is always a room or phone call away.) He simply needs to get going, as does the movie itself, and so, after a little narrative dithering and an unfortunate sexual incident involving a computer, he places an ad on Craigslist: “Misanthrope seeks misanthrope.”

What he finds is a surly blonde, Vivian (Sara Simmonds), a little girl posing as a femme fatale. After meeting cute and somewhat cruel at a restaurant (he takes a number while she interviews another prospect), the two travel to downtown where, amid crumbing buildings, faded movie palaces and signs of new, gentrifying life, they walk and they talk, sharing funny and forlorn stories, histories and observations. Although the movie’s black-and-white digital photography is clearly meant to evoke both the melancholy and visual beauty of Woody Allen’s “Manhattan” — the allusion just makes you yearn for that earlier film’s rich, velvety, celluloid texture — Wilson and Vivian’s stop-and-go peripatetic flirtation owes a stronger formal debt to Richard Linklater’s twinned walkabout romances, “Before Sunrise” and “Before Sunset.”

These kinds of cinematic allusions are risky because they invite inevitable comparisons. (And to that end: even the lovely wide planes of Ms. Simmonds’s face recall those of Julie Delpy, a star of Mr. Linklater’s “Sunrise” films.) Even so, while “In Search of a Midnight Kiss” has its derivative moments along with awkward patches — the inelegantly shaped climax tries to force uninteresting parallels between the two central couples — it manages the difficult task of creating a sustained, plausible and inviting world. That part of this world has been formed by other movies is to be expected. Mr. Holdridge, after all, is a young filmmaker living and working in Los Angeles who, much like Wilson, is navigating one tough town.

Irony

The Definition of Irony is surprisingly non-trivial as it is enjoyable:

Here's About.com take on it: http://grammar.about.com/od/il/g/ironyterm.htm

The use of words to convey the opposite of their literal meaning; a statement or situation where the meaning is contradicted by the appearance or presentation of the idea. Three kinds of irony are commonly recognized:

• Verbal irony is a trope in which the intended meaning of a statement differs from the meaning that the words appear to express
• Situational irony involves an incongruity between what is expected or intended and what actually occurs
• Dramatic irony is an effect produced by a narrative in which the audience knows more about present or future circumstances than a character in the story

Reductio ad absurdum

In formal logic, reductio ad absurdum (Latin: "reduction to the absurd") is an argument to refute a proposition (or set of propositions), by showing that it leads to a logically absurd consequence. That is, the proposition is shown by proper inspection to be simply untenable within the rules of logic, because it necessarily leads to a self-contradictory consequence.
(Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductio_ad_absurdum)

Quote from the TV Show the Big Bang Theory:
Leonard: "Penny if you promise not to chew the flesh off of our bones then you can stay"
Sheldon: "He's engaging in reductio ad absurdum, its the logical fallacy of extending someone's argument to ridiculous proportions and then critisizing the result"

Blaze a trail of desire, through the darkening dawn

Stanza from Carly Simon's Let the River Run
Just love the imagery and cadence of this phrasing blaze a trail of desire, through the darkening dawn. I find something inspiring, exhilarating, about it that captures the imagination

Let the River Run

We're coming to the edge,
Running on the water,
Coming through the fog,
Your sons and daughters.

Let the river run,
Let all the dreamers
Wake the nation.
Come, the New Jerusalem.

Silver cities rise,
The morning lights
The streets that meet them,
And sirens call them on
With a song.

It's asking for the taking.
Trembling, shaking.
Oh, my heart is aching.

We're coming to the edge,
Running on the water,
Coming through the fog,
Your sons and daughters.

We the great and small
Stand on a star
And blaze a trail of desire
Through the dark'ning dawn.

It's asking for the taking.
Come run with me now,
The sky is the color of blue
You've never even seen
In the eyes of your lover.

Oh, my heart is aching.
We're coming to the edge,
Running on the water,
Coming through the fog,
Your sons and daughters.

It's asking for the taking.
Trembling, shaking.
Oh, my heart is aching.

We're coming to the edge,
Running on the water,
Coming through the fog,
Your sons and daughters.

Let the river run,
Let all the dreamers
Wake the nation.
Come, the New Jerusalem.

mea culpa

Mea culpa is a Latin phrase that translates into English as "my fault", or "my own fault". To emphasize the message, the adjective "maxima" may be inserted, resulting in "mea maxima culpa," which would translate as "my most [grievous] fault."

The origin of the expression is from a traditional prayer in the Mass of the Roman Catholic Church known as Confiteor (Latin for "I confess")[1], in which the individual recognizes his or her flaws before God.

In the popular vernacular, the expression "mea culpa" has acquired a more direct meaning, in which, by doing or performing a "mea culpa", someone admits to having made a mistake by one's own fault (meaning that it could have been avoided if that person had been more diligent).

Andy Levy the ombudsman for FOX Red Eye explained this phrase is the Latin for the modern vernacular of "My Bad" :)

Transference

Transference is a phenomenon in psychoanalysis characterized by unconscious redirection of feelings for one person to another. One definition of transference is "the inappropriate repetition in the present of a relationship that was important in a person's childhood." Another definition is "the redirection of feelings and desires and especially of those unconsciously retained from childhood toward a new object." Still another definition is "a reproduction of emotions relating to repressed experiences, esp[ecially] of childhood, and the substitution of another person ... for the original object of the repressed impulses." Transference was first described by Sigmund Freud, who acknowledged its importance for psychoanalysis for better understanding of the patient's feelings.

According to "The Source" published in June 2001, "During transference, people turn into a "biological time machine". A nerve is struck when someone says or does something that reminds you of your past. This creates an "emotional time warp" that transfers your emotional past and your psychological needs into the present. In less poetic terms, a transference reaction means that you are reacting to someone in terms of what you need to see, you are afraid of or what you see when you know very little about the person. This all happens without you knowing why you feel and react the way you do."

It is common for people to transfer feelings from their parents to their partners or to children (cross-generational entanglements). For instance, one could mistrust somebody who resembles an ex-spouse in manners, voice, or external appearance; or be overly compliant to someone who resembles a childhood friend.

Pregnant Pause

A pause that gives the impression that it will be followed by something significant (Source: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pregnant_pause)

A pause which those listening expect to be broken by some significant sound or speech i.e. a pause which is expected to "give birth" to something significant. (Source: http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/467796)

Metaphor: Some pauses resemble literal pregnancies in that they are filled with meaning, as a pregnant body is filled with the offspring to be born; and they are forward-looking--that is, they have the listener waiting for the next utterance--in something of the same way that a pregnancy portends the forthcoming birth. The Oxford English Dictionary gives examples of the word "pregnant" used with the sense of "full of meaning" beginning in the 15th century.

Pregnant pause in Comic Timing:
A pregnant pause (as in the classical definition, "many possibilities") is a technique of comic timing used to accentuate a comedy element, where the comic pauses at the end of a phrase to build up suspense. It's often used at the end of a comically awkward statement or in the silence after a seemingly non-comic phrase to build up a comeback. Refined and perfected by Jack Benny, the pregnant pause has become a staple of stand-up comedy.

My one and Only Love

Words by Robert Mellin, music by Guy Wood

The very thought of you makes my heart sing,
Like an April breeze on the wings of spring.
And you appear in all your splendor,
My one and only love.

The shadows fall ands spread their mystic charms,
In the hush of night,while you're in my arms.
I feel your lips, so warm and tender,
My one and only love.

The touch of your hand is like heaven.
A heaven that I've never known.
The blush on your cheek, whenever I speak,
Tells me that you are my own.

You fill my eager heart with such desire,
Every kiss you give sets my soul on fire.
I give myself in sweet surrender,
My one and only love.

The blush on your cheek, whenever I speak,
Tells me that you are my own.

You fill my eager heart with such desire,
Every kiss you give sets my soul on fire.
I give myself in sweet surrender,
My one and only love.
My one and only love.

Suspension of disbelief

Suspension of disbelief or willing suspension of disbelief
See detailed explanation on Wikipedia. Following are excerpts:

Suspension of disbelief or "willing suspension of disbelief" is an aesthetic theory intended to characterize people's relationships to art. It was coined by the poet and aesthetic philosopher Samuel Taylor Coleridge in 1817. It refers to the willingness of a person to accept as true the premises of a work of fiction, even if they are fantastic or impossible. It also refers to the willingness of the audience to overlook the limitations of a medium, so that these do not interfere with the acceptance of those premises. According to the theory, suspension of disbelief is a quid pro quo: the audience tacitly agrees to provisionally suspend their judgment in exchange for the promise of entertainment. These fictional premises may also lend to the engagement of the mind and perhaps proposition of thoughts, ideas, art and
perhaps theories.

Examples in modern forms of entertainment: According to the theory, suspension of disbelief is an essential ingredient in the enjoyment of many B-grade science fiction films and television series such as the early series of Doctor Who, where the audience willingly ignores low-budget "cheesy" props and occasional plot holes, in order to fully engage with the enjoyable story — which may be the more so for those additions to its inherent outrageousness.

Suspension of disbelief is also supposed to be essential for the enjoyment of many movies and TV shows involving complex stunts, special effects, and seemingly "unrealistic" plots, characterizations, etc. The theory professes to explain why action movie fans are willing to accept the idea that the good guy can get away with shooting guns in public places, or never running out of ammunition, or that cars will explode with a well-placed shot to the gas tank.

The phrase seemed to have attained renewed use and favor after being used by Senator Hillary Clinton in a Senate hearing where she told General Petraeus that his progress report on Iraq required "a willing suspension of disbelief"

Irrational exuberance

"Irrational exuberance" is a phrase used by former Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan in a speech given during the stock market boom of the 1990s.
Greenspan's comment was made in December 1996 (emphasis added in excerpt):

The presence of the short comment—not repeated by Greenspan since—within a rather dry and complex speech would not normally have been so memorable; however, it was followed by immediate slumps in stock markets worldwide, provoking a strong reaction in financial circles and making its way into colloquial speech. Greenspan's comment was well remembered, although few heeded the "warning."

cultural dislocation as a metaphor for people who have gotten lost in their own lives

From LOST IN TRANSLATION film review about by Kirk Honeycutt, Sept 2, 2003, www.hollywoodreporter.com

Sofia Coppola's "Lost in Translation" is a funny, bittersweet movie that uses cultural dislocation as a metaphor for people who have gotten lost in their own lives.
...
Coppola sees in Tokyo's crowded, neon-lit urban landscape a society estranged from its own culture. The night is filled with pleasure-seekers obsessed by games, toys and American pop culture.
...
The movie flirts with a sexual relationship between these two, but Coppola holds back, aware not only of the characters' age differences but a realization that what ails the couple cannot be resolved with sexual healing.

I count your eyelashes, secretly

R.E.M. - At My Most Beautiful lyrics

I've found a way to make you
I've found a way
A way to make you smile

I read bad poetry
Into your machine
I save your messages
Just to hear your voice
You always listen carefully
To awkward rhymes
You always say your name,
Like I wouldn't know it's you,
At your most beautiful

(repeat chorus)

At my most beautiful
I count your eyelashes, secretly
With every one, whisper I love you
I let you sleep
I know you're closed eye watching me,
Listening
I thought I saw a smile

You are known by the company you keep
