Three very important practices in poetry, it would seem.
Shakespeare wouldn't have been The Bard without these three bad boys.

dylan

by Jan Zemanek

A stranger has come
To share my room in the house not right in the head,
A girl mad as birds

Bolting the night of the door with her arm her plume.
Strait in the mazed bed
She deludes the heaven-proof house with entering clouds

Yet she deludes with walking the nightmarish room,
At large as the dead,
Or rides the imagined oceans of the male wards.

She has come possessed
Who admits the delusive light through the bouncing wall,
Possessed by the skies

She sleeps in the narrow trough yet she walks the dust
Yet raves at her will
On the madhouse boards worn thin by my walking tears.

And taken by light in her arms at long and dear last
I may without fail
Suffer the first vision that set fire to the stars.


- Dylan Thomas

Flowers of War will not alter your world.
It probably won't stay with you very long after you've watched it.
It isn't a great movie.

Did i enjoy it?
Yeah.
I really did.

The story pulls you in.
The girls playing the abandoned chinese students are so believably horrified it's somewhat emotionally exhausting, especially through an attempted, multiple rape scene.
There was a knot in my stomach that not many films can stir.

Christian Bale does a not so terrible job of remembering how to act.
I think he misses his bat cave, though.
The women playing the prostitutes have just the right amount of damaged humour, mixed with a believable terror all of their own.

It has somewhat of a predictable story but it works.
It doesn't overplay the horrific events of Nanking but it does make you see them, feel them and most certainly remember them.

Bale perhaps transforms from a drunken, self-serving wretch a tad too quickly.
Only near the end do you get an insight into why he's such a mess and why he helps protect these people.

It's not perfect.
It could have been something special but alas, that is not always the way.

I'll watch it again.
Forever fascinated by Christian Bale's mouth.

All i see are the door knockers from Labyrinth when he talks.

But it isn't a triumph.
It's not Empire of the Sun.

Nice try Bales, it was good but better luck next time?


Listen listen.
You won't regret it and if you do, i'll accept vengeance in the form of comments filled with colourful language that i will enjoy and never publish.

Remember these?

I may have listened to this album at least twelve times on Spotify already but it doesn't matter a damn until i can get my paws on a physical copy.
Screw you digital age.
That goes for ebooks as well.

I'm a troglodyte and that's ok.
