In timp ce scriu acest post urmaresc filmul Fracture cu Anthony Hopkins, Ryan Gosling si Rosamund Pike. La un moment dat personajul William ‘Willy’ Beachum, interpretat de Gosling, recita o poezie care mi-a placut:
Do you dare to stay out? Do you dare to go in?
How much can you lose? How much can you win?And IF you go in, should you turn left or right…
or right-and-three-quarters? Or, maybe, not quite?…
You can get so confused
that you’ll start in to race
down long wiggled roads at a break-necking pace
and grind on for miles across weirdish wild space,
headed, I fear, toward a most useless place.The Waiting Place…
…for people just waiting.
Waiting for a train to go
or a bus to come, or a plane to go
or the mail to come, or the rain to go
or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow
or waiting around for a Yes or a No…
or a string of pearls, or a pair of pants
or a wig with curls, or Another Chance.

Textul este un extras din ultima carte pentru copii scrisa si ilustrata de Dr. Seuss – “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!“. In ciuda audientei intentionate pentru aceasta pozie, mesajul transmis mi se pare ca se adreseaza mai mult adultilor, avand parca o tenta noir.
