Poezii in filme
Unul dintre filmele pe care l-am vazut de foarte multe ori pe la 13-14 ani, si, de cate ori am ocazia îl revãd(deºi ºtiu ca mã port copilãreºte, pur si simplu nu mã pot abþine), este Spendour in the Grass (Elia Kazan, 1961). Printre lucrurile care mi-au rãmas in minte din film se numãra si poezia cu acelaºi nume a lui William Wordsworth. Asta mi-a rãmas in minte cu precãdere si, ori de cate ori sunt amarata sau viata mi se pare nedreapta, la fel ca Natalie Wood, mi-o repet in gând… ”wherever I am”.
Iat-o:
”What though the radiance
which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass,
of glory in the flower,
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be;
In the soothing thoughts that spring
Out of human suffering;
In the faith that looks through death,
In years that bring the philosophic mind”
Cealalta poezie la care vreau sa ma refer este cea pe care Karen (Meryl Streep) o citeste la mormantul lui Denys (Robert Redford) in Out of Africa (Sydney Pollack, 1985). Poezia i-apartine lui A.E. Housman si se numeste ”To a Young Athlete Dying”. Si pe aceasta am invatat-o, filmul-gazda nefacand exceptie, nici el, de la sindromul mai-multe-vizionari-fara-rost:
”If I know a song of Africa, of the giraffe
and the African new moon lying on her back,
of the plows in the fields
and the sweaty faces of the coffee pickers…
does the Africa know a song of me?
Will the air over the plain
Quiver with a colour that I have had on?
Or will the children invent a game
In which my name is?
Or the full moon throw a shadow
Over the gravel of the drive
That was like me?
Or will the eagles of the Ngong Hills
Look out for me?”
Acesta este deci topicul pe care vreau sa vi-l propun: poezia in filme. Dar nu orice poezie, ci una cu semnificatii sau careia i s-a acordat timp si atentie in film…
Sper sa nu mai fi fost acest topic; sincer, mi-a fost imposibil sa le parcurg in amanunt.
Astept raspuns in special de la cinefilo-poieti. :)
