I am without words..., 20 February 2004
Author: polarice

The DVD came to a full stop. I went and found THE poem, Kubla Khan, went back to my television, and watched Pandaemonium again. As I am writing this, I have just finished watching for the second time. This movie has changed the way I experience language... As Dorothy said to Sam; "You are writing about things I have thought about" (something close to that, i'll have to watch again). This movie expresses the power of the word. It's an unbleilevebly tight script.

As English is my secong language, my lingustic instincts never allowed me to understand poetry. Or so I thought. Watching this - just watching! how passive- I have experience something so powerful, so incompaassing. I first picked it up for John Hannah (because of him, this french girl's developed a fetish for scothish accents)but the actors are all so perfect.... without having that horrible perfect thing actors can sometimes have. (I just split an infinitive) I am blown away. see, when you learn a new language such as I have when I was about 15, you learn a new set of self-expression rules; you can actually express things that cannot be express any other way. and you can even start to FEEL your native language doesn't permit you to. (I just ended a sentence with a preposition) same goes the other way around. and this movie, has made me understand what new thing can be expressed. merci
