LOH234 || I am entertained by books and movies...

Since cinema was invented, thousands, maybe millions of films have been fixed all over the world and most of us have seen thousands of them, since our childhood, but with the weight of time we came to understand that cinema-art is quite scarce.

I don't speak @merit.ahama, of movies that I like and those that I don't like, neither of box office and budgets, nor of the most famous movies, I love and entertain those few movies that last over time and are superimposed on the movies that are fashionable and generational tastes, for me that is the real list of the history of cinema. Many times I close my eyes to see part of that privileged list of movies that are worth watching, my favorites.

I like sober and simple stories, the superposition of fiction within fiction, good cinema is a platonic phantasmagoria, shadows of shadows, which are reflections in a broken mirror of real life.

I am entertained by the dreamlike and surreal and at the same time truthful world, it entertains me to see the "truth of the lies" that are expressed in good cinema and hence the magical effect they cause in me, especially in the ritual of the dark room, when I am alone in the dark and in emotional communication with the projected film.

Living in some way the experience, the memory and the time to identify the crossed lives, loves, illusions, evasions, sins, pardons, mistakes and successes of each one's life, of my own life, of my daily life, cinema is the supreme art of all times.

And from a book I can tell you that it is quite an experience reading a book is a culture well learned since childhood, since I can remember I have enjoyed the bookstores of my city, a stimulating trip for me, I know no better way to face any difficult situation, than a good book, which is always a carrier of the future because reading is traveling without comparing a passage.

That feeling and pleasure of touching paper, opening a book and smelling it, marking what interests me, writing footnotes, etc... "Electronic toys" will never be able to provide it to me. Knowing that the books are there, like guardians waiting for hands to take them to the armchair, to the bed or to the garden...I love books as well as movies.

Reading is to be transported to the most curious places of research, it is something like a testimonial and better company as a reader. By the way, my pet Boti (cover) is a faithful companion when I sit down to read outdoors, with nature as a witness.
