 This band behind me’ll tell you that that trophy means more to me than owt else in the whole world. But they’d be wrong! Truth is, I THOUGHT it mattered. I thought that MUSIC mattered. But does it bollocks? Not compared to how people matter. Us winning this trophy won’t mean bugger-all to most people. But us refusing it – like what we’re going to do now – well, then it becomes news, doesn’t it?

 You see what I mean. That way, I’ll not just be talking to myself, will I? Because over the last ten years, this bloody government has systematically destroyed an entire industry. OUR industry. And not just our industry – our communities, our homes, our lives. All in the name of “progress”. And for a few lousy bob. I’ll tell you something else you might not know, as well. A fortnight ago, this band’s pit were closed – another thousand men lost their jobs. And that’s not all they lost. Most of them lost the will to win a while ago. A few of them even lost the will to fight. But when it comes to losing the will to live, to breathe, the point is – if this lot were seals or whales, you’d all be up in bloody arms. But their not, are they, no, no they’re not. They’re just ordinary common-or-garden honest, decent human beings. And not one of them with an ounce of bloody hope left. Oh aye, they can knock out a bloody good tune. But what the fuck does that matter?

And now I’m going to take my boys out onto the town. Thank you.

( si, lo so che è presto per aprire il tag ma tanto per ingannare il tempo con qualcosa di lieto)

 

L’affiche in questione è quella di Cannes 2013 che rende omaggio all’inossidabile sodalizio artistico – coniugal – etero – amoroso tra Joanne Woodward e Paul Newman qui ritratti durante le riprese del film di Melville Shavelson A new kind of love  ( da noi diventò  Il mio amore con Samantha ).

 

Sfondo cinetico a cura dell’agenzia parigina Bronx pour faire tourner les têtes attraverso  l’illusione del movimento circolare che rafforza l’effetto cinematografico e ricorda, secondo i romantici curatori del sito ufficiale di Cannes 2013 ,  le tourbillon de l’amour, mentre la vision de ces deux amoureux pris de vertige et perdant tout repère appelle à vivre le cinéma comme un désir sans fin (i francesi, si sa).

 

Svelato ogni mistero sull’affiche,  resterebbe aperto il caso del calzino corto. Ovvero di come un indumento altrimenti raccapricciante possa passare inosservato se chi lo indossa è un maschio bello, bravo e sexy (il sussulto ormonale,si sa).
