Serge Gainsbourg & Brigitte Bardot - Bonnie & Clyde (86 remix) from Ji-Yun Jung on Vimeo.


Vous avez lu l'histoire de Jesse James ?
Comment il vecut, comment il est mort ?
Ca vous a plus hein ? Vous en demandez encore
Eh bien, écoutez l'histoire de Bonnie and Clyde

Alors voilà, Clyde a une petite amie
Elle est belle et son prénom c'est Bonnie
A eux deux ils forment le gang Barrow
Leurs noms : Bonnie Parker et Clyde Barrow

Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde

Moi lorsque j'ai connu Clyde autrefois
C'était un gars loyal, honnête et droit
Il faut croire que c'est la société
Qui m'a définitivement abimée

Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde

Qu'est-ce qu'on a pas écrit sur elle et moi
On prétend que nous tuons de sang froid
C'est pas drôle mais on est bien obligé
De faire taire celui qui se met à gueuler

Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde

Chaque fois qu'un policeman se fait buter
Qu'un garage ou qu'une banque se fait braquer
Pour la police, ça ne fait pas de mystère
C'est signé Clyde Barrow, Bonnie Parker

Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde

Maintenant chaque fois qu'on essaie de se ranger
De s'installer tranquille dans un meublé
Dans les trois jours, voilà le tac tac tac
Des mitraillettes qui reviennent à l'attaque

Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde

Un de ces quatre, nous tomberons ensemble
Moi je m'en fous; c'est pour Bonnie que je tremble
Quelle importance qu'ils me fassent la peau
Moi Bonnie, je tremble pour Clyde Barrow

Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde

De toute façon, ils ne pouvaient plus s'en sortir
La seule solution c'était mourir
Mais plus d'un les a suivis en enfer
Quand sont morts Barrow et Bonnie Parker

Bonnie and Clyde

When you're seventeen

Sometimes I just wonder, where would I be today if I had made European Studies in the Uni? When you're seventeen the ideia of choosing a path in your life is absolute idealism. Years go by and then you realise how ridiculous it was thinking that bachelor's or master's or whatever they want to call it today would make a difference in your professional life.

Because you change with life: your tastes change, your friends change, your aims change... it's the process of becoming mature. So, what difference does it make?

Teatro Nacional D. Maria II – First Shakespearean plays

If you fancy theatre, then Teatro Nacional D. Maria II is a place you shouldn’t miss. It’s sited in historical Pedro IV Square, or Rossio, its popular name, right in Lisbon’s Pombaline Downtown. The first inauguration was on April 13, 1846. It was D. Maria 27th birthday celebrations and to her homage the queen’s name became part of the theatre’s officinal designation.


It was the historical drama play “ O Magriço e os Doze de Ingalterra”, by Jacinto Aguiar de Loureiro, that debuted on stage. However the history of Teatro Nacional D. Maria II starts earlier. 

Following the revolution of September 9, 1836, Passos Manuel takes over the government and one of his measures was to rethink Portuguese theater in a global context, a job he delegated to write and politician Almeida Garrett. Here’s the “manifesto”: "without loss of time, a plan for the foundation and organization of a national theater, which, being a school of good taste, contribute to civilization and moral improvement of the Portuguese nation." By that decree, Almeida Garrett was commissioned to create the Inspection General of Theatres and Shows and National Conservatory of Dramatic Arts General, establish premiums dramaturgy, regular copyright and build a National Theatre "that could decently represent national dramas ". 

The romantic atmosphere at this time in Europe determines the urgency to find a model and dramaturgy national repertoire, thus the appearance of a theater (and its repertoire) wasn’t only cultural but a national issue, closely linked to the independence of the nation, coming out of trouble times after the French invasion and the fighting liberals.
Between 1836 - the legal creation theater date - and 1846 - the inauguration’s year - the existing and decrepit theatre in Rua dos Condes served as interim. And, after much controversy, the final location were the ruins of the palace Estaus, former headquarters of the Inquisition, destroyed by a fire in 1839. Also, the choice of an Italian architect, Fortunato Lodi, to design and run the theater wasn’t exempt from criticism and only in 1842 Almeida Garrett started the work.

During a long period of time, the National Theatre was managed by companies of artists to empower its management. After the establishment of the Republic, the theatre was renamed Teatro Nacional de Almeida Garret. Rosas e Brasão was the most epic theater group in charge, between 1881 and 1898, as they made the first creations of Shakespeare's plays in Portugal.

In 1964, the National Theatre was the scene of a huge fire that spared only the outer walls and the entrance of the building. The place was completely rebuilt and reopened in 1978. Today it respects the original neoclassical style.
In March 2004, Teatro Nacional D.Maria II (TNDM II) turned into a public limited company and at present it has its own governing body, under supervision of the Ministries of Finance and Culture. In 2007, TNDM II was integrated in the business sector of the state.
In addition to this, there’s inside tours every Monday mornings with insights about theater, history and architecture. The shows are from Wednesday to Saturday. On Thursday tickets have discount.

Portuguese Fado

Once upon a time in the streets of Lisbon (XIX Century) people started to sing about their fate, then it invaded bars and restaurants: a singer (man or woman) and a Portuguese guitar (12 chords) that’s what compose this music. They use to say about Fado and its meaning that is unforgettable world music. In so many ways, its melancholic lyrics and melodies encompasses a sense of navigation and a journey in the sea.  Imagine going back to 1500 when the great great navigator Pedro Álvares Cabral discovered Brazil, and to 1498 when Vasco da Gama, discovered maritime route to India (the first person to sail directly from Europe to India), Fado reminds golden times. Fado is emotional for it is brave, outrageous, and blue. Its organic production is made to touch everyone’s heart, apart from social class stereotypes.

Amália Rodrigues had the most known voice. She travelled the world singing Fado, the club Mocambo was among those many places, in 1954.

Amália’s sadness, love and despised love (artistic temperament) nourished her success.

Carlos Coelho da Silva is the Portuguese director of biographical movie Amália, here you can go through her life, from childhood to the early days of Gloria, but ever biography has its flaws, and some pointed out that dates weren’t that accurate. Despise that the movie is worth seeing, a lot of Lisbon is shown, the Lisbon of the 50’s – the rich and the working class arrived from the countryside , in search of a better life,  even if that meant to be selling fruits to the sailors of Tejo River and tourists, likewise Amália did.

There’s two songs of Amália: one, an ode to Lisbon light, the other to saudade, a word that has no translation in English. It describes a deep emotional state of nostalgic longing for an absent something or someone that one loves.

Patti Smith vs Karen O

I was just listening to the realease of new Yeah Yeah Yeahs' album and I came across Patti Smith and Karen O are physically and musically alike. I've never heard Karen O speaking about her influences but there's no need for that. New song:

Sacrilege from Mosquito (2013)

Patti Smith was probably the best female rock n' roller artist in the XX Century ( don't disagree or I kill you with my arguments) and Karen O is pure girl power. Yet Yeah Yeah Yeahs' lyrics needed more element to be as good as Patti's. This first single of Mosquito doesn't sound that brilliant, but let's wait for the entire album to come out. Remember Show Your Bones from 2006? So so so heartbreaking.

Patti Smith used more sophisticated words, like a poet she was, she is... she will always be an alleluia.

Gloria from Horses (1975)

Rediscovering Poetry - Edgar Allan Poe

Alone

From childhood's hour I have not been

As others were; I have not seen
As others saw; I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I loved, I loved alone.
Then- in my childhood, in the dawn
Of a most stormy life- was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still:
From the torrent, or the fountain,
From the red cliff of the mountain,
From the sun that round me rolled
In its autumn tint of gold,
From the lightning in the sky
As it passed me flying by,
From the thunder and the storm,
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view. 

Edmund Dulac (1882 - 1953)

This poem is sad though full of life and I found this illustration of Edmund Dulac which is so magnetic and matches so well, rather than the vast majority of Poe's illustrations, often too much darkeness - Note this grey blue sky. What makes you feel? Fear? Sadness? Anguish? Solitude? Why do the cloud took the form of a demon in Poe's view?

  

Times they are changing

Running

I read on NYT that exercising four times a week is better than six. That’s a really nice article for gym addicts - bodybuilders.

I’ve underlined some parts for you:

“The women working out twice a week had become as powerful and aerobically fit as those who had worked out six times a week” but “the women exercising four times per week were now expending  for more energy, overall, than the women in either of the other two groups”. Doctor Hunt says that less may be more.

Cheer up spring isn't all that far away  for us in the north hemisphere, then we’ll have time to practice outdoor activities.

Besides Yoga I run (above the picture of my current favourite runing landscapes - Parque Tejo, sited in north west Lisbon), I try to go at least once per week, saturdays and perhaps more often from now on, not that I’m a big runner, only keep on running for one hour, while I listen to good music and here’s three energetic songs for my next saturday's playlist, how about yours?

1 – Le Tigre – Deception

2 - !!! – Pardon my freedom

3 – Kaiser Chiefs - OMG

Gym and Yoga

Yoga can relax your body and soul, unlike gym.

I’ve always been a gym enthusiastic but come on it’s not proper relaxing…you do it because you got this urgency to be all shape and toned or the most common reason lose weight. Baby, wake up, it’s fantasy, actually you might put a few pounds as your muscle and lean mass grow, replacing fat.

After one and a half year of daily gym and intensive workout (running, bicycle for cardio and body-combat, body-pump aerobic exercise) I ended up with a hard body and very gym fan knows how difficult is the moment of stepping into that door (If your friends say know don’t believe it please, it’s so untrue) and that’s when I turn to other kind of workout.

Yoga gives you an extra and the feeling “I’ve paid I must go” fades away. It starts with breathing exercises (shoes off), inhale and exhale…so good. At some point teacher tells us to hold our breaths for one minute or more if we can, then breathe freely and again 1, 2, 3, 4 hold…exhale… and by this time you feel like a reborn person.

Yoga masters say breathing is crucial to become a better learner. Therefore they advise you to do a training course. Poses are also something to improve. Do you think you can cross your legs easily, with your back straights? Well once you buy a monthly pass that you can be amongst the clumpiest in the room. Nevertheless always do your best to achieve any of the hundreds poses Yoga teaches you and get in touch with your chakras – energy centers of the body.

The pose I want to do most is sirsasana, will write about it once I get enough mind power and body balance, my teacher always points that our body has no limits; one can be cosy and peaceful in this pose for over 10 minutes. I share my class with 60 years old men and they can do it like walking, in Yoga age doesn’t matter but mind focus. Be thoughtless. Now tell me is this all very zen for you?  Be my guest to share your thoughts on Yoga.

O fado pode ser Património Imaterial da Humanidade mas Alfama é uma miséria

Muitos de vós podem ter chegado a este post pela curiosidade despertada no título, pois não é normal ver Alfama pelo lado pejorativo da coisa, o que é normal é ver blogs que expressão um amor incondicional por este bairro alfacinha. Imagino muitas cabecinhas a trabalhar “ então mas a terra-berço de um dos patrimónios imateriais mais valioso de Portugal é uma miséria, como assim?” Do ponto de vista de alguém-que-viveu-lá-dois-meses é e passo a explicar.

Um dia vi uma casa, pequena e aconchegante em Alfama e decidi arrendar depois de apenas 1 hora dentro da mesma, à conversa com a senhoria. É normal que quem vá arrendar uma casa corra riscos, pois ninguém sabe como serão os vizinhos e também ninguém adivinha que problemas de infiltração poderá ter. Na primeira tarde de mudanças já queria desistir mas como não podia – contrato de 6 meses – pensei: isto é momentâneo, tem calma Anabela, respira fundo. Assim fiz, enchi os pulmões de ar e lá parti, encorajada, para a primeira semana na casa. Péssima. Comecei a perceber que a construção de Alfama tem mais de cem anos no mínimo e da minha casa que era um primeiro andar ouvia literalmente os vizinhos de baixo e de cima. Só não digo dos lados porque o prédio ancestral só tinha frações de um lado. Enfim, que desgastante que foi durante todas as semanas, todos os dias que lá estive levar com algum género de pessoas que moram em Alfama, que por sua vez são ainda a maioria.

Primeira conclusão,  aferida depois de ter ouvido a minha vizinha do prédio da frente que conversava aos berros da sua janela com todas as outras vizinhas,  e que tem inclusive uma almofada colocada no parapeito para não magoar os braços devido às horas que lá passa a bisbilhotar, os alfamenses não gostam de turistas nem de gente nova no bairro. O que eles queriam era que tudo fosse como antigamente: “não devia morar cá ninguém que não fosse do bairro”, gritou ela.

Segunda conclusão, a maioria dos moradores de Alfama são idosos, os habitantes antigos e por isso os jovens vão ter sempre um entrave em morar ali, pelo menos enquanto não for metade-metade. No início, a minha ideia também foi, ah e tal isto vai ser tão giro morar num sítio cheio de pinta e história, deve haver pessoas tão interessantes no dia-a-dia de bairro, vou poder fazer a vida à volta da minha casa. Desenganem-se pois as mercearias são muito poucos e sem condições e as pastelarias estão a preço de turista, logo a vida local foi-se.

Terceira conclusão, o problema social. Ninguém fala, mas Alfama têm-o incoberto. No andar de baixo para além de morar a idosa de que já vos falei, mora a sua neta que teve uma gravidez na adolescência e a respectiva criança. Esta família completamente disfuncional está acordada até às 3 da manhã diariamente a trocar asneiras entre si, com uma menor de 4 anos, que também já chama filha da puta à mãe, a retribuir a ofensa da própria mãe. A Comissão Nacional da Protecção das Crianças e Jovens já sabe do caso e tentaram intervir mas quando vieram ao local inspeccionar as condições em que a menor estava, a mãe e a bisavó, arrumaram-na colocando tudo o que era supérfluo e de mau aspecto no corredor do prédio e o caso ficou suspenso até à data. 

Falo de um grave problema social porque a somar-se a este caso há o da prima, uma miúda que ofende a mãe, a avó e também não frequenta a escola tal como a outra criança minha vizinha cuja mãe irresponsável dá permissão para estar acordada habitualmente até madrugada. Que futuro têm estas crianças? Não é brilhante de certeza e está em risco o próprio crescimento/ desenvolvimento digno enquanto cidadãs e seres humanos, formação e educação. Estes menores serão sempre problemáticos, herdam dos pais essa faceta, e um dia serão eles a andar pelas ruas de Alfama ou Santa Apolónia o dia inteiro sem trabalho e perspectiva de vida.

Para terminar, à exceção dos sábados à noite em que até se vai a uma tasquinha ter uma experiência gastronómica e musical de bradar aos céus, o local em si sofre por ser às portas de Santa Apolónia, onde passei recentemente por uma experiência de quase tentativa de agressão de um bêbedo a quem não dei dinheiro quando estava a sair do carro.

É a este miserabilismo que me refiro. Voltarei a Alfama muitas vezes espero, em trabalho ou em lazer mas ao fim de poucas horas quero regressar à minha morada segura, sem ter de me cruzar com um alcoólico violento que faz do cheiro de flores e de mar de Lisboa um cheiro putrefacto.

Intercidades: muita-terra, muita-terra

Devo confessar que a tarde de hoje foi muito interessante. Voltei a andar no comboio Intercidades, já não andava desde que parei de fazer a viagem em 2005 Entrocamento-Covilhã, e que nostalgia...

No interior o comboio está inalterado. Fui ao bar, onde tem aquelas quatro mesas redondas onde nos sentávamos à conversa ou para fumar um cigarro e beber umas cervejas, sobretudo aos domingos quando a nossa semana de estudantes estava a iniciar-se. Ainda se podia fumar e fazer quase tudo. Lembro-me tão bem!

Na altura a viagem demorava 3 horas, chegávamos à “Cova” às 23h30m aos domingos, era tão giro e depois ainda saíamos claro. Não sei se a viagem ainda é assim tão longa, só sei que com os amigos que se faziam, os que estudam na UBI ou no Politécnico de Castelo Branco as 3 horas pareciam 3 minutos!

Style I like (continue)

Christina Hendricks is always well-dressed. Casual or more classy I love her choices. For instance, that outfit I'd use everyday not to talk about her vintages' clothes( dresses, trousers, shoes, even rompers!) everything fits perfect on Christina!
BTW can't wait for Mad Men's new season.

Style I like (not sure why)

Slobbery today, happy tomorrow

That is it. I am so slobbery today. Tomorrow I will be flying to Lisbon for one week holiday and Oh my days! I need it badly. Sun shining, hot weather, beach, the good feeling of climbing Lisbon’s hill, smell of fresh fish, especially sardines, roasted meat, a good laugh outside, where everyone is, in the terrace because the warm at home becomes unbearable. The Portuguese style is humble, genuine and proud (of its discovery roots). It is summertime, make the most of it! By the way, what do you think about a gin tonic for late night, while the soccer match is on? After all is Euro semi-final Portugal- Spain, we have to see it. Bring it on!

(One of thousands beautiful Lisbon's views)

My namby-pamby dues to the memories I have about the country I was born. Its 1000 wonders are a part of my life. Since childhood to date, say, mature ages then you have to move on somehow and start a new life. It is life. Paolo Sorrentino, the Italian director, said wisely “there is a time where you stop thinking about why this or that is happening in your life to deduce that’s life”. Nevertheless, the hometown, the first city and country always will be first loves and give butterflies in the stomach every time you see them. Right buddies?

Motorbikes sounds better with summer

I love the sound of motorbikes just because it reminds me of summer and good weather. Apparently -common sense – the warm enhance the spread of the sound and also its volume level.

Live to work

Have you ever gone into a work-life situation/thought like the following one: It is like receive whole your Uni marks in the same day, can you believe how crazy that would be? Yet, in my case, as a student, the bulk of the times I was positively surprised it was always a stressful moment like today's' amendments. Going back to graduate school, I still remember those days, shivering inside, anxious to look up at those classic sheets, set out in the cold stone walls. My Uni was built in 1763-69 as a wool factory and is currently a museum and a hub of knowledge. Conclusion: never live to work but work to live, there is no point in being edgy in your daily life, just live, do your best and leave the rest.

Don’t do that at home

Someone once said, I don’t remember the author, “smoke has its sensuality”, and it has indeed. You may disagree with me, judge me or crucify me but looking at this picture I can understand the statement. I was I smoker until I came to London, thus I realize cigarettes are too expensive and even if you don’t feel physically ill yet you will when your youth days over. That is consciousnesses. I feel fresh without them; however there are some days I’d really fancy smoking. My prior addition it was not about the flavor but the whole concept of inhale and exhale the smoke, that movement always made my self-esteem grow. I remember happily my first university season, where it all started. Now I feel a lot better without the bad habit, but whilst I am enjoying a mojito I often remember my cigarette, I do!

Wednesday nights at The Frontline Club

First Belarus, now Ukraine. What comes next I don’t know…Increasingly I see myself into Europe’s matters and issues. It is Europe in my “inner-self”? Is this some kind of sign? After I found that journalistic independent club, in Paddington, I go there once per month to see some documentaries that are hard to find in the shops. Perhaps Belarus documentary had focused my attention: “The last dictator in Europe”, which for those who don’t know him is called Alexander Lukashenko (I googled it as the name is so hard to write without errors). How come I knew nothing about that country and its oppressive rules? Right, now “Ukraine, from democracy to caos” seems to have something in common: repression, lack of freedom, severe political leaders that are not elected by people’s power but by fraudulent elections. We have to do something about it; this land can’t be no longer the Europe from 20th century. As if economical and financial crisis wasn’t enough. Stop… Instead of bringing bad things from the past let’s become inspired by the greatness of this leader: “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character”. M. Luther King.

Little Cannes awards 1

Un été brûlant, in my words. Last night was movie time and I think I have made a great choice. Philippe Garrel, tipical French cinema, with Monica Bellucci and Louis Garrel also as main actors. The movie starts how it ends, with a car crash, a suicide. However is far from being a Cronenberg movie (though you remember Crash). It talks about the complex relationship between women and men, with a sensual, Monica Bellucci breaking her marriage with love affairs. According to the character Frédéric, played by Louis Garrel, life only makes sense if it is lived within art and love, which is kind of beautiful to think of. Although, the script is full of idealist and romantic idea, everybody should watch it. Good cinema and good photography. It is not fresh the way Paris or Rome both are filmed but overall your brain retains useful information about human beings, therefore, two words: worth seeing. // Habemus Papam. Nanni Moretti knows how to break the stereotypy. Once again he presented a gorgeous movie, very warm in the way it describes Catholic Church’s rules. In my point of view the script was written to trigger contradictory narrative, say, the rules can be cold but a great character can disrupt them. The movie was inspired by author’s own life, marked by an Italian society full of religious dogmas. The bulk of reviews have praised “Habemus Papam” and it deserves it. This film was thought in that time Catholics had to replace their old time figure Pope John Paul II. His power has lasted over 25 years (1978-2005) and so it was a long period of time, maybe relief, where nobody had to think much about catholic elections methods. Then a dead arrived and suddenly the whole world started to write and speculate about the new Pope and this mysterious way of announcement: the white smoke. Is a ritual, kind of exoteric as well, isn´t it? Catholic cardinals are meeting in one of S. Peter cathedral’s historical and majestic room (looks like a trial court) to elect a the new Pope . The thing Nanni Moretti reflects about is this moment. What if this Pope, deliberately chosen, isn’t sure on accepting this title? What if after the moment he hears its name he starts to question himself on existential issues. Can you imagine? Is lovely to see how it ends and how you learn about unhappy ending. Over and out.
