Tri filma za vikend - Love stories

Singles (1992)

- Tell me, from a girl's point of view, what do you want from a guy?

- Well, when I first moved out here from Tucson I wanted a guy with Iooks, security, caring. Someone with their own place. Someone who said "bless you" or "gesundheit" when I sneezed. Someone who liked the same things as me, but not exactly. And someone who loves me.
-Tall order.
-Yeah, I scaled it down a little.
- What is it now?
- Someone who says "gesundheit, " although I prefer "bless you."

Reality Bites (1994) 
- You see, Lainie, this is all we need - a couple of smokes, a cup of coffee and a little bit of conversation. You and me and five bucks.
- You got it.

 

High Fidelity (2000) 
- I’m just sick of thinking about it all the time.
- About what?
- This stuff. Love and settling down and marriage, you know? I want to think about something else.
-  I changed my mind. That’s the most romantic thing I’ve ever heard. I do. I will.
-  Just shut up, please. I’m trying to explain, okay? That other girl, or other women, whatever - I mean, I was thinking that they’re just fantasies. You know? And they always seem really great because there’s never any problems. And if there are, they’re cute problems like you know, we bought each other the same Christmas present or she wants to go see a movie that I’ve already seen, you know? And then I come home, and you and I have real problems and you don’t even want to see
the movie I want to see, period. There’s no lingerie and...
- I have lingerie.

- Yes, you do. You have great lingerie, but you also have the cotton underwear that’s been washed a thousand times, and it’s hanging on the thing and they have it too. It’s just I don’t have to see it because it’s not in the fantasy. Do you understand? I'm tired of the fantasy because it doesn’treally exist.

Šetnja subotom ujutru

Prepešačila sam Beograd uzduž i popreko. Za poslednjih 20 godina, nema gde nisam stigla. Volim da hodam. Autobus me čini nervoznom, ne umem da vozim auto, a bicikl je neka druga, sasvim posebna dimenzija uživanja. Za pešačenje su potrebne samo tri stvari - udobna obuća, dobra play lista i strpljenje. Play lista služi da održi ritam hodanja. Ne sme da bude ni previše sporo, ni previše brzo. Ako je sporo, vrlo brzo postane dosadno i pretvori se u shoping. Ako je brzo, onda nije uživanje, već žurba da se stigne na neko mesto i u tome promakne gomila zanimljivih detalja. Recimo... Brankov most, subotom ujutru od Novog Beograda ka gradu. Kada je sunčano jutro, senka mosta pada na drveće sa leve strane i tako pravi jasan zrak svetlosti pod uglom. Ta senka stoji i nad rekom sve do kraja mosta. Možete da je fotografišete, ali lepše je kad se gleda. Ako krenete oko 10 sati ujutru, na mostu nema puno ljudi. Možda sretnete i skupljače kartona sa svojim improvizovanim vozilima na dva točka.
Svake subotu ujutru, ustanem rano, kao da idem na posao. Spakujem fotoaparat, muziku i krenem. Od Zemuna, par stanica autobusom, a onda peške. Pređem Brankov most, pa nastavim dalje ka centru. Nemam u napred spremljen plan. Hodam, pa gde me odvede muzika i svetlo. Gledam. Gledam ljude, gledam zgrade. Senke na terasama i prozorima. Reku i presijavanje sunca na drugoj strani. Grad, potpuno plav od jutarnjeg svetla, nestaje u lejerima izmaglice. Kada se popnem do Moskve preko Zelenog venca, svratim do Greenet-a, uzmem kafu za poneti, pa nastavim dalje. Po nekad ka Slaviji, po nekad ka Kalemegdanu. Retko kada kroz Bulevar. Dok hodam, oko mene se gomilaju sećanja. Prijatelji kojih više nema ili koji su se odselili negde daleko, događaji koje ne želim da zaboravim... svaki ćoškić ovog grada me podseti na nešto. A opet, ima mesta za nove uspomene. Kada počne gužva na ulicama i vreme za vikend shoping, ja polako krenem ka kući. Opet preko Brankovog mosta, sa nekim drugim svetlom i jatom ptica. Svaka nova subota je novo malo uživanje.

State of mind

"Some of us pursue perfection and virtue and if we're lucky, we catch up to it. But happiness can't be pursued. It either comes to your or it don't. You can always say, "if only this and if only that", but if only is a state of mind that we get into when we feel deprived." /Jack Fate/Masked and Anonymous 2003.
