Pedestrian in Paris
Adrien Brody has managed to convert from po-faced bromancer to frustrated conceptual, and it was all captured on film within the confines of two cities - Paris today, and Paris 1920's.
Hemmingway and the late Fitzgerald managed to draw him in to the city he really wanted to see, through one of those teleporter taxi cabs that come around only once every 24 hours, precisely midnight. It seemed to be Hemmingway who had the greatest effect on his visual persona, with analyses and criticism not quite confined to his world-weary speech.
It is worth a thought, as to whether it is more annoying being a "What a wonderful world" or a "Respect what I take seriously." The former will be taken light of and laughed at by the power hungry. The latter will be taken seriously and receive patronizing grins from those with power.
And these patronizing grins are more common than ever before. Every business with a bit of weight to the name will have a PR squad googling their name on a daily basis. So when you lightly mention a big business owner in the new media, it will be duly noted with a slight pantsing such as changing your usercode to 'tinyman' or 'minime'.
Regardless, there are fickle few who find pantsings funny, either as a pedestrian or unwanting participant. Still, ego is as ego does, and one must zip it and move along. And if the mention is in the public interest, one might even receive a hint of the respect you thought you had earned one or two decades ago.
One mustn't be jocular towards wolves with clenched teeth. Regardless of your frustration towards them.
In the film Midnight in Paris, the main character comes out of the artistic transformation intact - although having to start life new with his groundings now more left of centre.
True to reality and only half way hollywood? Good enough for me.
