Magnolia (1999) - Paul Thomas Anderson


"And there is the account of the hanging of three men, and a scuba diver, and a suicide. There are stories of coincidence and chance, of intersections and strange things told, and which is which and who only knows? And we generally say, "Well, if that was in a movie, I wouldn't believe it." Someone's so-and-so met someone else's so-and-so and so on. And it is in the humble opinion of this narrator that strange things happen all the time. And so it goes, and so it goes. And the book says, "We may be through with the past, but the past ain't through with us."

Eddie Vedder - Guaranteed

"On bended knee is no way to be free
Lifting up an empty cup, I ask silently
All my destinations will accept the one that's me
So I can breathe...

Circles they grow and they swallow people whole
Half their lives they say goodnight to wives they'll never know
A mind full of questions, and a teacher in my soul
And so it goes...

Don't come closer or I'll have to go
Holding me like gravity are places that pull
If ever there was someone to keep me at home
It would be you...

Everyone I come across, in cages they bought
They think of me and my wandering, but I'm never what they thought
I've got my indignation, but I'm pure in all my thoughts
I'm alive...

Wind in my hair, I feel part of everywhere
Underneath my being is a road that disappeared
Late at night I hear the trees, they're singing with the dead
Overhead...

Leave it to me as I find a way to be
Consider me a satellite, forever orbiting
I knew all the rules, but the rules did not know me
Guaranteed"

Porque a música é incrivelmente boa, e não consigo deixar de me emocionar de cada vez que a ouço...

The Virgin Suicides (1999) - Sophia Coppola

"We knew the girls were really women in disguise, that they understood love, and even death, and that our job was merely to create the noise that seemed to fascinate them."

Sempre senti essa sensação de não pertença...
Não pertenço aqui, não pertenço ali...
Não preencho nenhum lado nem sou preenchida em lado nenhum...
Estou aqui, mas não sou daqui...
Estou contigo, mas não sou tua...
Estou no mundo como quem passa...
Porque passo por aí e não quero ficar, não tenho vontade de ficar, nem devo ficar...
A vida é um vício, e a descoberta das coisas a graça de tudo...
Hoje estou por aqui, amanhã estarei por ali...
Vagueando diriam alguns, mas jamais permanecendo por muito tempo...
Os espíritos livres são assim, mesmo que pareçam ficar, estão já longe, noutro lugar...
