GATTACA

En 2008 vi esta película del 2007, The nines, que de tan buena la coroné como “lo mejor que vi en el 2008“.

Rara, dividida en tres partes independientes que luego conectan. Se trata de las vidas de tres personas que al final tienen que ver, y no se puede decir nada más del film sin meter la pata.

Este cantito me gustó mucho, esta es la versión original de Peggy Lee de 1977: Is that all there is.

Uno recuerda el tema en el contexto de la película y resulta “encantador”, como dicen los traductores de películas yankees.

La vi hace bastante, y unas tres veces. Prediqué la palabra del Señor (John August – Director).
Remarcando el hecho de que soy una persona recomendadora de toda clase de cosas, suavemente insistente, perseguidora de objetivos del tono “mirá esta película”, apenas imperceptiblemente denso, un rompepelotas de ley bah; estuve difundiendo la palabra (o más bien desparramando la multimedia, el .AVI y el .SRT) a troche y moche, por lo ancho y alto de la galasia (y esto me recuerda que Odo es de los Fundadores) y recolecté de la muestra de persecusión toda clase de respuestas.
Una amplia mayoría fue positiva, claro.

En fin, una película desconocida, rara (insisto), que vale la pena, y que habla de nueves en este día simbólico, 19 en que cumplo 39.
Si al9uno la ve, me 9ustaría ten9a las 9anas y buena onda de dejar su opinión al respecto.
Chau, me voy a tomar el 39, o sino el 29, o el 109.

Letra de la canción:

IS THAT ALL THERE IS?

Peggy Lee

SPOKEN:
I remember when I was a very little girl, our house caught on fire.
I’ll never forget the look on my father’s face as he gathered me up
in his arms and raced through the burning building out to the pavement.
I stood there shivering in my pajamas and watched the whole world go up in flames.
And when it was all over I said to myself, “Is that all there is to a fire”

SUNG:
Is that all there is, is that all there is
If that’s all there is my friends, then let’s keep dancing
Let’s break out the booze and have a ball
If that’s all there is

SPOKEN:
And when I was 12 years old, my father took me to a circus, the greatest show on earth.
There were clowns and elephants and dancing bears.
And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads.
And so I sat there watching the marvelous spectacle.
I had the feeling that something was missing.
I don’t know what, but when it was over,
I said to myself, “is that all there is to a circus?

SUNG:
Is that all there is, is that all there is
If that’s all there is my friends, then let’s keep dancing
Let’s break out the booze and have a ball
If that’s all there is

SPOKEN:
Then I fell in love, head over heels in love, with the most wonderful boy in the world.
We would take long walks by the river or just sit for hours gazing into each other’s eyes.
We were so very much in love.
Then one day he went away and I thought I’d die, but I didn’t,
and when I didn’t I said to myself, “is that all there is to love?”

SUNG:
Is that all there is, is that all there is
If that’s all there is my friends, then let’s keep dancing

SPOKEN:
I know what you must be saying to yourselves,
if that’s the way she feels about it why doesn’t she just end it all?
Oh, no, not me. I’m in no hurry for that final disappointment,
for I know just as well as I’m standing here talking to you,
when that final moment comes and I’m breathing my lst breath, I’ll be saying to myself

SUNG:
Is that all there is, is that all there is
If that’s all there is my friends, then let’s keep dancing
Let’s break out the booze and have a ball
If that’s all there is
