When you have been watching Hollywood movies for as long as I have you tend to get bored. I recently fell into Italian movies. The camera work on some of them is on a level I have never seen before in black and white film.
La notte | HD | Drammatico | Full movie with english subtitles
Director: Michelangelo Antonioni (1961)
La notte is well shot - if you care about technical details of filming and camera positioning you will have a field day with this one. Its a movie that says more in the facial expressions than it does in the dialogue. There is lots to see and hear which is why I like it. Some commentors say it is slow but I dont mind so (well not as slow as Lawrence of Arabia). I am impressed it was release in 1961. It makes the other black and white movies that I have watched in the pass seem like childs play. Watch it, even though it is sub titled the story should be easy to follow.

It is Monday morning, I thought this new flu would have subsided by now. But alas I am still here sickish. I never got a second flu so soon before, maybe I am old and dying faster than I ever have been. I just realized that dying is process and not an event. Interesting.
So I skipped work but I had something that I need to trade with someone on the road which resulted in me sitting at a bus stop for 30 minutes. The fella was not very talkative but another guy fell off his bike and almost go run over by a semi truck - he survived. I think I got a picture of that too. After seeing that I decided to call it a day and went home.
I did not go straight home because I drove a road that I usually neglect. You know how I am when I am somewhere that I am not supposed to be - I buy patties and take pictures. I passed by a old couple selling Lichee oh of there Toyota Prado. I thought about them then stop to buy their over priced goods. I don’t know why I gave them a thought. She was a champ about it, oout there alone with her husband, brand new 100lb scale and their expensive car. I imagine they have a big yard with a huge tree. Sucks because I did not get any pictures of it all.
