Today watched the movie  Jeff, Who Lives at Home for the second time. I loved it a lot. It moved me into tears. "Everyone and everything is interconnected in this universe. Stay pure of heart and you will see the signs. Follow the signs, and you will uncover your destiny." Jeff, Who Lives at Home (2011) I read  Emmanuel Lopez - Motivatorman  blog post about the movie many years ago. Watching this movie, I told myself I must see the movie Knowing 2009 film ‘Knowing ‘asks the Question - Is Life Random or Predetermined? And I've always been interested in things like consciousness, metaphysics, energy/soul, reality etc. and I love Ellie Crystal's website (crystalinks.com) which explains those very well. “You are not a victim. No matter what you have been through, you’re still here. You may have been challenged, hurt, betrayed, beaten, and discouraged, but nothing has defeated you. You are still here! You have been delayed but not denied. You are not a vict...

Outliers    “Examines Success by looking at opportunity and cultural legacy, not just hard work” Outliers is deeply concerned with the role of historical context and timing in determining success. https://www.litcharts.com/lit/outliers/themes/timing-and-historical-context “Outliers is deeply concerned with the role of historical context and timing in determining success. Having a set of skills that one develops through hard work is not enough to guarantee success. In addition, one must also live in a time when those skills are valued by your culture. Your historical moment might also prevent you from acquiring certain skills. For example, Gladwell argues that if you entered the workforce as a computer scientist (say, at IBM) before the era of personal computers, when the personal computer did finally become mainstream, you would be too invested in the “old” way of doing things.”

Now here you go again You say you want your freedom Well, who am I to keep you down? It's only right that you should Play the way you feel it But listen carefully to the sound Of your loneliness Like a heartbeat. drives you mad In the stillness of remembering what you had And what you lost...

Today I listened to many songs I listened in the past and some new music as well. I had  mixed feelings and emotions...and thought about my favorite actors and composers, writers, directors, and movies and musics, my favorite parts of some movies I like. To name a few of my favorite actors: Djimon Hounsou, Jesse Williams, Chris Evans,Dakota Fanning, Tom Hanks, Emma Stone,Frank Grillo,Robert Downey Jr., and many more. The intro of 2009 movie, Push, a American science fiction action-thriller with great music of Neil Davidge: Very subtle music indeed. Director:Paul McGuigan Cast:Chris Evans, Camilla Bell, Dakota Fanning, Djimon Hounsou Score:Neil Davidge Year:2009 Info. Nick and Cassie are among a group of unique individuals who have special psychic abilities originating from Nazi-conducted WWII experiments.

Game of Thrones Season 6 Soundtrack 03 - Light of the Seven  Music by Ramin Djawadi,  German-Iranian composer.  Djawadi is best known for his Grammy-nominated score for the 2008 Marvel film Iron Man and score for HBO's popular television series Game of Thrones. I really liked this perfect comment by D3NlS5E: When I first saw this scene I thought this music didn't fit, since it's piano and the show is set in the middle ages, but as the song kept going it just flowed nicely with everyone else's actions, specially when they get the choir in and how the song progresses from a melancholic calmed piece to a strong malefic tone , that whole entering gave me goosebumps. Just perfect.

Captain Phillips is a multi-layered examination of the 2009 hijacking of the U.S. container ship Maersk Alabama by a crew of Somali pirates. Based on a true story, the film focuses on the Alabama’s commanding officer, Captain Richard Phillips (two-time Academy Award®-winner Tom Hanks, Best Actor, 1993, Philadelphia; Best Actor, 1994, Forrest Gump), and the Somali pirate captain, Muse (Barkhad Abdi), who takes him hostage. The two men are set on an unstoppable collision course when Muse and his crew target Phillips’ unarmed ship; in the ensuing standoff, both men will find themselves at the mercy of forces beyond their control. Genre: Biography / Drama / Thriller Cast: Tom Hanks, Barkhad Abdirahman, Max Martini, Michael Chernus, Barkhad Abdi, Director: Paul Greengrass How Captain Phillips movie gave me hope:   Limo driver (Barkhad Abdi) turns Oscar nominee  CNN's Poppy Harlow reports on the amazing story of a Somali immigrants rise from limo driver to Oscar nominee.

This is just a quick note and I will write here more.  I watched The Salesman (2016 film) an Iranian-French drama film directed by Asghar Farhadi, starring Taraneh Alidoosti and Shahab Hosseini. Today my old friend Safa invited me to join him to watch the movie. It was his first time watching the movie. It was the fourth time for me watching The Salesman. I love this movie so much. Beyond words. I haven’t read yet what critics said about the movie and what Asghar Farhadi himself talked about the movie but, I will read them.  Asghar Farhadi talked very great in the Film magazine (Iranian magazine) issue of October.  This link for instance, which is in Persian: http://www.film-magazine.com/reviews/iran/1182/ The Salesman review: Asghar Farhadi offers layers of Willy Loman https://www.theguardian.com/film/2016/may/21/the-salesman-review-asghar-farhadi-cannes A friend of mine told me his idea that what Asghar Farhadi thinks about the movie, is very important than the movie it...

Published on Oct 2, 2015  Life Eternal “Give up defining yourself - to yourself or to others. You won't die. You will come to life. And don't be concerned with how others define you. When they define you, they are limiting themselves, so it's their problem. Whenever you interact with people, don't be there primarily as a function or a role, but as the field of conscious Presence. You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.” ― Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose

I will post a review about the movie on my blog soon. I loved the tracks especially Track 1 ( main theme) track 17( highway) and track 23 ( rainy night) but others were great too. I especially cried with these I mentioned. The story of movie and the music both was a great healing process for me, since somehow dealing with depression often times,  and one of the ways to cope with depression is to watch sad movies or hear sad music to facilitate sadness - so that you can cry out whatever tears are trapped inside you. I really liked this part Karen posted on his Instagram in Persian I copy it below: karen homayounfar: بعد از اين همه سال دوستي و كار مشترك ،زيباترين،خوش ساخت ترين ، هيجان انگيزترين و بي شك از نظر من بهترين، ساخت يافته ترين، نفس گير ترين اثر حاتمي كيا را دوباره در كنارش هستم. شك نكنيد زيباترين موسيقي اي كه در سينما ساخته ام و لحظه به لحظه ، نت به نت آن را با عشق و هيجان مينويسم. حاتمي كيا با يك پرويز پرستويي تكرارنشدني با بازگشتي به اوجي غريب مريلا زارعي درخشان و امير آق...

To tell you what, I have been begging for nonexistence since many years ago to leave this cruel world. Later I realized that "Having a soft heart in a cruel world is courage" and "It’s a fucking golden rule, and there is a reason for it and that reason is that, we’re connected in some strange way that we don’t totally understand.The human race is stuck in a giant quagmire when it comes to our behavior and our thinking about our behavior and until we’re honest about that, we’re never going to evolve." Joe Rogan says on the video below: Rethink your life: And also talks about being a person and human interaction on this video: Joe Rogan - Life Is Magic ”We live in a culture where it has been rubbed into us in every conceivable way that to die is a terrible thing. And that is a tremendous disease from which our culture in particular suffers.” – Alan Watts "So-called 'civilized' mankind is in truth living in the darkest of dark ages. However, we are bei...

Published on Jul 5, 2014 Alan Watts speaks on worrying and compulsive thinking. Published on Nov 6, 2014 The best-selling author Steven Kotler discusses hypofrontality -- literally the slowing of the brain's prefrontal cortex -- and how it allows one to enter an optimal state of consciousness, known as flow. As Kotler explains, flow refers to those moments of total absorption when we get so focused on the task at hand that everything else disappears. Kotler is the author of The Rise of Superman: Decoding the Science of Ultimate Human Performance ( http://goo.gl/QLe0gt ).
