un pensamiento para ti...

"He aprendido que todo el mundo quiere vivir en la cima de la montaña, sin saber que la verdadera felicidad está en la forma de subir la escarpada. He aprendido que cuando un recién nacido aprieta con su pequeño puño, por vez primera, el dedo de su padre, lo tiene atrapado para siempre. He aprendido que un hombre sólo tiene derecho a mirar a otro hacia abajo, cuando ha de ayudarle a levantarse..."

~ Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Wake Me Up When September Ends music video by Green Day. Just wanted to try if this worked. Anyway, if it does work, do take a look. Interesting video. I thought only Koreans made music videos like this.



Update:

Cool... Be warned for streaming problems thou.

Anyway, some comments on the video. Yah, that was Jamie Bell in it, which was how I found out about this video. I found this one amusing cos I'm sure it would have been alright if it was a Korean or Taiwanese video. But it really does seem weird when that same cliche story is put into a modern American context. It's almost like the dialogue and the plot just seemed too un-Western to be played out by Westerners. Of course, I don't deny that such situations do happen (we almost always forget that even today, many Ameircan soldiers are leaving their loved ones behind and risking their lives protecting an alien piece of land). It's just how it's being portrayed that is, for the lack of a better word, unusual.

Btw, I think they made the wrong choice with the girl. With that heavy eye make-up she looked too punky to be the poor, innocent girl who is left wondering about the fate of her boyfriend at war. I mean, kissing in the meadows among the beautiful yellow flowers just didn't compliment her thick mascara. And errr... she actually sounded quite scary when she went hysterical...
