Leviathan and The Sea Inside
Well, well, well.
I am on tragedy now.
Frye has somewhere said that reading is like going on a picnic, the author brings the material and the reader the meaning.
The other day I contacted OdG and asked a couple of questions. He returned my mail answering briefly saying where I had picked every single building block piecing up my questions! and by jingo he even told me the personae, the event and reason such questions had been brought to the table. what an outstanding prodigy! I mailed back : dear Poseidon I am drowned in this sea you are its Leviathan.
I said sea and remembered that a (non-English) Oscar nominee from Spain with The Sea Inside (Alejandro Amenabar) is nearly touching the prize. It's the story of a 26 y o young seafarer who dives into shallow water and hits headfirst to the rock beneath. He is left bedridden with spinal fracture for 29 years. The film depicts him attempting a plea for Euthenasia. Unlike other philosophical films like Taste of Cherry (Abbas Kiarostami), the victim of this true to nature film has decided to end his life, rather his suffering in bed where he can only move his eyes whithin the eyeballs only. One can't avoid remembering "Death of Ivan Ilych" (Tolstoy). Say, isn't death the end of dying?
