بویی از جنگ ندارد
به عنوان یک دختربچه در ایران من عاشق نوروز بودم. اولین روز بهار. تنها زمانی بود که بزرگسالها سرزنده و پر امید به نظر میرسیدند. حتی کجخلقترین اعضای فامیل به طریقی شاداب و سرزنده میشدند و چهرهای صمیمی از خود نشان میدادند که در بقیهی طول سال قابل رویت نبود. مثل فیلم پیله بود، به…

The old man
I’m gonna miss the old man when he’s gone. I remember how he used to kiss me when I was a kid. I would get angry and scream at him because of his sharp mustache. “I don’t feel young and alive anymore”, he told me the other day. “Time passes in a snap of a…

دیشب خیلی اتفاقی؛ سد معبر
دیشب خیلی اتفاقی رفتیم و «سد معبر» را دیدیم، و چه خوب که رفتیم. در موردش نمیتوانم به مانند همیشه که فیلمی مورد پسندم واقع میشود، به عکسی و خطی از داستان اکتفا کنم. چرا که سد معبر برایم بیشتر از یک فیلم سینمایی بود. داستان آدمهایی از طبقهی متوسط جامعه که خودمان نیز قسمتی…

All the bullshit led up to this final moment
All the bullshit, pain and practice led up to this final moment. My heart is beating so fast when the officer is grading my test, I’m about to have a heart attack. Can’t believe I want it so much. Finally I got it over with. Now you’re looking at a guy with driver’s licence.

Cradle of leadership
Col. Slade: As I came in here, I heard those words, “cradle of leadership”. Well, when the bow breaks, the cradle will fall. And it has fallen here, it has fallen! Makers of men, creators of leaders- be careful what kind of leaders you’re producing here. I don’t know if Charlie’s silence here today is…

In his wildest dreams
In his wildest dreams, Larry would never have imagined he’d once again be in this position, where precious minutes count. Tonight he could save a life. He knew Ronnie had done some bad things in the past, but so had Larry. You couldn’t change the past. But the future could be a different story. And…
