Five years has passed since the Twin Tower (World Trade Center)-attack and of course a multitude of commemorative programs in TV and radio.
This was an extremely tragic event for those families struck by this but are there not many other and a lot more tragic human catastrophies going on in the world besides this? Of course, all the time.
Not least the USA itself has often, historically and today, waged war killing many, many more innocent people. The US has also intervened in countries where they "installed" fascist governments in fear of an eventual socialist or communist regime. These fascist governments have in turn tortured and killed tens of thousands of people and more.
Besides the US we have all the other world powers and even small countries having been involved in atrocities, far worse than this.
The ethnocentric or sociocentric viewpoint is is here clearly emphasized.
Now we leave this and go on to...
The Swedish Filminstitute, as this is our goal today.
Reading, studying.
I went on to cinema Sture and the film 'The Celluloid Closet' by R. Epstein and J. Friedman, a documentary about homosexual layers/insinuations in Hollywood-movies.
A rather conventional story about a topic for many years being a 'tabu' in American film .
The history circles around gay and lesbian motives in film, how they 'came out' in the open, when, wherefore, why at a certain point and so forth.
The interesting parts in this documentary were the sequences from different movies with a more or less pronounced or hidden gay theme.
I met with an elderly man and one of the most faithful filmlovers and friends of the 'Cinemateket' in Stockholm - Max. He has worked with witness-psychology among other things. Has often been engaged in investigations concerning sex-crimes and the like. He visits the cinema almost every day. He is retired.
Met Aurore at cinema Sture from where we went down-town to eat an ice-cream and then to the N.K department store.
From there back home. Dinner, further work for Aurore with her paper.
I listened to the news and a program about music and how it affects us emotionally, why and in what ways.
Today I am allergic. Pollen!
Good night!
