Alejandro G. Iñárritu visited the Cannes Film Festival for the first time in 2000 for the premiere of his film, "Amores Perros" (2000). One day during the festival, Iñárritu and many other directors were invited for a 7 PM screening of Wong Kar-wai's "In the Mood for Love" (2000).

Iñárritu and his wife Maria booked a taxi at 6:15 PM. But the taxis were overbooked. So Iñárritu, wearing a tuxedo & his wife, wearing a long dress with high heels had no other choice but to run to reach the theater on time, while the temperature was 95°F. The traffic was heavy. While running, Iñárritu took off his jacket, tie & the first 3 buttons of his shirt. His wife took off her shoes.

Their effort wasn't in vain as they reached the theater at 7:01 PM. They were drenched in sweat. But they both had experience of their lives when they watched the movie.

Here is what Iñárritu said of "In the Mood for Love" (2000):

"For a filmmaker, the experience of entering that legendary [Palais Des Festivals] with 2,000 seats is similar to that of a Catholic boy going into the Vatican. [From] all the way in the back, we watched “In the Mood for Love” on a screen 40 times bigger than us.

Maria and I walked in complete silence for almost 10 minutes [afterward]. We suddenly stopped by the sea. Maria hugged me and started crying inconsolably on my shoulder. And I did the same on hers. “In the Mood for Love” had left us speechless and deeply moved. It was that moment that reminded me why, even when it’s so stupidly difficult sometimes, I wanted to become a filmmaker."

P.S: On this day, 26 years ago, "In the Mood for Love" (2000) premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, France.

Paul simon was once asked,"You write most of the music and most of the lyrics, why don't you go out on your own?" Basically saying why don't you get rid of Art Garfunkel. Pauls response was simple,"Because when Art and I sing together the songs sound exactly like they do in my head, without Art the songs just don't sound the same." Well said Paul, well said!

When you say it's gonna happen "now"
Well, when exactly do you mean?
See i've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone

“One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple.”

[Josh Barzon @JoshuaBarzon]

The entire Book of Revelation is a giant chiasm.

A chiasm is a literary device where ideas unfold in order (A B C) and then repeat in reverse (C B A), forming a "V" shaped symmetry that aids memory and draws attention to the central point (C).

The Bible is amazing.

Sing to me
Sing to me

On my own anymore

[Poetic Outlaws @OutlawsPoetic]

“there is a loneliness in this world so great
that you can see it in the slow movement of
the hands of a clock.
people so tired
mutilated
either by love or no love.
people just are not good to each other
one on one.
the rich are not good to the rich
the poor are not good to the poor.
we are afraid."

~ Bukowski

@Civixplorer Polish journalist Kapuściński traveled to Iran just after the revolution to produce a report from which he wrote a book: Shah of Shahs. In this beautiful quote, he gives voice to a carpet seller, who speaks about the importance of taste and explains the meaning of carpets.👇
