Love in the Time of Cholera
Posted on March 27th, 2008 No commentsWednesday night, Orange movie at Movieplex. Taty suggested to see Love in the Time of Cholera. I looked at the trailer and we decided to go for the 22:15 show. I think that the movie deserves more thant the rank on IMDB. I laught and feel good watching it, even I didn’t like the plot too much. I’ve seen a Javier Bardem (Florentino) much more different than the one from No country for old men and I could say it’s is an interesting actor, with substance. Giovanna Mezzogiorno (Fermina) was very pretty and had an aristocratic air, which I liked.
I would like to say more about the novel. I think Florentino is a little bit insane. His life stopped at some point and didn’t changed despite the time. His stubbornness amazed me and also his patience and calm. I can’t say this is a real story… in real life, people go crazy easier and things go bad more often. But we don’t go to movies to see real life, may be we need from time to time, things to work the other way just to see it is possible. The movie presents only Florentino’s thoughts as they were, naked(through monologue), while Fermina’s thoughts are presented in dialog, from outside.
I tried to imagine the same story with common people, with common resources, but probably it is not worth it…common people don’t live such lifes

another year, another party
Posted on March 27th, 2008 No commentsok, so here how the things were… I didn’t intended to do something big like last year . I thought to meet with some friends and to have a drink. I wrote some emails, I made some calls, I accepted any suggestion. In the end, I invited some good friends to Big Mamou. And because I like statistics so much, I will write the persons, just for the record.
Taty, Aida & Florin, Mugurel & Augustina, Nila, Tibi, Bruno, Dan Vasiliu, Dan Dorneanu & Ana, Catalin Balan, Alin Adam, Bogdan & Klara, Conrad & Alexandra, Vlad and his girl friend(I forgot her name), Tudor & Otilia, Mihnea, Mihaela & Aurel, Diana & Dragos. Amazing - 26 people + me = 27 … hmm this will grow
This year, I will read more books, wear some nice shirts, drinks some wine, sharp and use a pencil and more … Thank you all and I hope you enjoyed it

Locuri in Romania
Posted on March 17th, 2008 4 commentsI received a task from Mihai to write about 5 places that I would take a tourist in Romania.This is very interesting, as I was in this position at one moment, and I thought it was a hard thing to do, not because there are no places, but because, me as a Romanian guy I have this strange desire to show only the bright side of my country, so always I was asking if the place is good enough. Probably it is something natural, but I think that one person who wants to know better one place, wants to see also the dark side. There is no place that has only good or bad things.
now I will list some of the places that I consider worth seeing and represents Romania in a bright light:
1. Palatul Mogosoaia
2. Castelul Peles
3. Castelul Bran si culoarul Rucar-Bran
4. a concert with Taraf of Haidouks
5. Brasov, Sibiu and Sighisoara, may be some german villages from Transilvania
I attached to pictures of Peles Castle and Bran Castel taken last weekend, when Tatiana, Marius and me showed 3 of the places to an American guy.
