The Day of The Jackal | Nerve Writers

https://nervewriters.wordpress.com/2015/02/08/the-day-of-the-jackal

The Day of The Jackal. Review of the film. The film opens in Paris during the time of Charles DeGaulle. His policies are not liked by those of the far right and a contract killer – Edward Fox – is hired to assassinate the president on Bastille Day. The plot unravels owing to the dogged persistence of Inspector Claude as he relentlessly pursues the elusive assassin. I think The Day of The Jackal is truly iconic, a classic; beautifully filmed, atmospheric and well paced, with some important questions about...

Rumble in the Jungle! | Nerve Writers

https://nervewriters.wordpress.com/2014/11/10/rumble-in-the-jungle

Rumble in the Jungle! Last week marked 40 years since the ‘Rumble in the Jungle’, that amazing event in Zaire. As we get older our history seems to become more marked by single events, and within this individuals who stood out. This focus is understandable because we need points of reference. But if we make the mistake of seeing events in isolation, then we miss the deeper story of contradictions that surround colourful characters. 8217; cliché; and he was also full of contradiction. Liston went on a dow...

Caught Between | Nerve Writers

https://nervewriters.wordpress.com/2015/02/26/caught-between

You will find – photographs –. Whilst in the fridge – love letters –. Words of passion –. Around the house,. Messages to myself –. Leaves flurry and drift. Elusive in the gathering,. Caught between then and now,. For the journey home,. No door key –. Within and without mist swirls,. Clouds the path I step along,. And hazy the gaze of passers-by,. Cast aside or beyond. Yet people drop by. And – in the thread of retelling,. Forgetful – for a while,. February 26, 2015. Constant Changes →. On Sir Philip Greed.

The Tea Factory | Nerve Writers

https://nervewriters.wordpress.com/2014/12/21/the-tea-factory

To keep machine parts running smooth the job. Cogs, bearings, shafts, levers the steely art. Of industry – here where sculpture beats with. A large human heart. For amid the rattle and clack. Of production them: big women. From over. Seas – the sunshine islands – they have come. To stand fixed at machines through the night shift. To keep the waves of teabags flowing. While I am about them at my own tasks. Pointing to curls they call out Shirley Temple. Will return to waking homes, babes and schoolkids,.

I Daniel Blake – a comfort blanket for the left. Am I the only person not to like. I ask because the film has received a cascade of good reviews and positive comments. So what is it that I disliked? Well most things. First, the story, there was none. Unless you accept a story as being: unemployed man has problems with his welfare benefit, meets single mum…then dies. November 4, 2016. October 16, 2016. October 10, 2016. Low Moods and High Towns. October 7, 2016. Memoirs of a Breck Road Buck. To the pillar...

Constant Changes | Nerve Writers

https://nervewriters.wordpress.com/2015/04/12/constant-changes

Taste before affects taste after. People react to what affects them. You can’t place yourself in another’s. Nature is a battle of opposites. Changing environments change people. Home is what it makes you! The heart is our true home;. A place of changeless now,. No reaction, no fear;. Only love,love and LOVE. But if I tried. On the carpet an-all-. So I will wear my heart. Life is a Web. Of Networks and Patterns:. The Whole is more than the sum of its parts. We are all processes,. Obsessed by the end.
