THE WALL

THE WALL


There are many things I haven´t done. Many things that I haven´t seen yet, or will never see. You can´t have it all, that´s what I say , trying to convince myself that I´m not worse than other people just because it seems to me that everything happens so quickly nowadays. There have been so many movies, important ones, that I missed to see. There are places, obviously famous, that I haven´t visited. There is so much music, good one, that I haven´t had the chance to listen, and so many people whom I would like to have met …

No, I don´t intend to catch up with all these things. Or some of them. You do with your time what you think you should do, and that´s it. Maybe I´ve spent most of my time doing nothing, which is supposed to be healthily creative. A bit too late for judging or regreting. So what´s all this fuss about? I´ll tell you.

It happened last Sunday, when my grandson insisted for the third time that I should see a video. I finally said OK, I´ll watch some of it, because I don´t have time to see it all.(Why? I don´t know the answer) I sat on the couch and started watching “The wall” (Pink Floyd). Well, I couldn´t get up from my seat until the end. It was one of the most beautiful and yet sad things I´ve ever seen. The fact that the movie is so updated, so true, so “here and now” struck me like nothing else had done before. I then thought of talking about it. If you have seen it, see it again – you probably need it, you can´t forget about it. If, by any chance, you haven´t had the opportunity, please do. Make it happen. See it now, or maybe tomorrow – don´t miss it.
