Essays on Pleasant

Probably, the most striking thing for me while I took this course consisted in the subject of heroification. Usually, when I read or learn about a cult of a specific person or something I tend to believe it and not subject the person in question to much objectivity. However, during this course one of principal things I learnt (though totally not the most pleasant one, because getting disillusioned is never pleasant) was that glorified people can be different – and were different. We all know about the most glorious pages of their biographies and about the significance of their contributions ...

This is perhaps one of the few movies, where the characters’ silence can be comfortable and talk about many things. A slow, as it might seem, dragged action is not the lack of pictures – that's the essence of the whole atmosphere of loneliness – the characters ...
