this scene is one of many in ‘though i know the river is dry’ that suggest the main character’s memories and feelings towards palestine are largely filled with pain and destruction . though set in the present day , the story has archive footage edited in ; a combination of both paints a picture of bombings , homes being destroyed by bulldozers , and police violence against children .

by the end of the song however , the river is dry because at this point it is clear that their dreams are never coming true . even though he wants to believe that his hopes are still possible , he knows that they are not , and now he only has the memories of those hopes .
i can ' t be sure that springsteen is using
the river
as analogous for life in general , or a vagina as the source of the beginning of life - youth , optimism , hope etc . i tend to the former , as he says repeatedly
we
go down to the river , rather than
i

i think you ' ll find the line is : is a dream a lie if it don ' t come true or is it something worse that sends me down to the river . . . .

she rejected the label , saying ,
they thought i was a surrealist , but i wasn’t . i never painted dreams . i painted my own reality .
sorry , when i wrote
i prefer to take the lyrics literally rather than treat
the river
as a metaphor for anything .
as the opening sentence , this wasn ' t in direct response to the previous comment posted by guynemeth . i agree the river represents hope and dreams , just to clarify i also believe that the song also refers to a literal river as well .
the interviewer wants to know that you have clearly thought through your decision to leave your current job , and that you know what you want out of your next role .
there in the dry , it’s raining 5 - star reviews , and here i sit , trying to get right with my 3 - star drip - drop . maybe i’m using silly water analogies because i’m remembering how parched this locale is , a small farm town in australia , and i need some liquid . i’m sure that a big part of the allure of this story ( about a guy , falk , who is trying to solve a heinous crime ) is its vivid , scorched setting . everything is hot and dry and slow . i didn’t feel the heat for some reason , but i definitely felt th

“it’s truly been about letting the world know who she is , ” says doug johnson , black river’s vp of a & r ; - - and , especially in the grammy world , “about her songwriting , which is completely legitimate . ”
when interviewers ask this question , they want to know if you will last at the company .

put it this way : 4 - track demos is an important document — and an essential one for serious fans — but the number of times i find myself reaching for it over dry and rid of me is small .
when he wakes up on stevie’s bed after going round to feed her cat , we know he is grieving as though he’s lost his touchstone in life . for all of the imaginary figures we see with him , he is mostly alone and considered a weirdo by most colleagues .
the river
as written by martin terefe and katie victoria tunstall . . . .
kahlo folded in symbols from her mexican culture and allusions to her personal life in order to create a series of 55 surreal and uniquely revealing self - portraits . of these , she famously declared ,
i paint myself because i am so often alone , because i am the subject i know best .
눉 on floor 3 the hallway looked old & outdated , functional though , my guess it comes down to practicalities .
despite river’s protestations to the counselor , we know he loved stevie , although what kind of love it was is unclear . at this early stage , i see them as father and daughter or the doctor and his companion . he’s protective , but she’s easily as capable and clever as him .
that shot of river , perched high in the tree with the “ghost” of the dead girl sitting next to him is sublime . her boyfriend is moved to a holding cell while she reads from romeo and juliet ; juliet’s dying speech , and river realises he is going to make a second attempt at suicide .
so in the end , they both go down to the river (
my baby and i
) to revisit the place of their favourite memories and see if they can find some of their old love again . but it ' s not going to be the same . the fact that the river is dry represents this . there ' s going to be a certain emptiness about it no matter how hard they try .
still , it’s nice to know that harvey herself has strong affection for the album locked away . “i do think is this desire ? is the best record i ever made — maybe ever will make — and i feel that that was probably the highlight of my career , ” she later told the sun telegraph . “i gave 100 percent of myself to that record . maybe that was detrimental to my health at the same time . ”
then we meet the ghastly thomas neill cream , the infamous lambeth poisoner , played with relish by eddie marsan . river’s been reading about him and his rather unpleasant ideas , but i’m assuming that this is the last we’ll see of him after river decided to silence his angry ranting once and for all .
and we all know what wagner has to say about that :
weialala ,
that ' s what .

i went into this book knowing the hype was high and many of my goodreads friends loved it . i was hoping to temper my expectations but i shouldn’t have been worried . this was an excellent book my friends ! i can’t believe this is jane harper’s debut novel . i’m impressed by her writing and storytelling . the dry was gripping from the beginning to the end . no joke . the book starts with aaron falk coming back home for the funeral of luke hadler . aaron is a federal investigator living in melbourne and wa

“i didn’t tell him to take it away , ” she said . “what i said was i didn’t want it to exist in the first place . it was really gross . ”
i blame aaron falk . he just made me add a new shelf on goodreads . series . you see , i don ' t like book series . with a few exceptional characters preceding aaron falk ( harry potter , christian grey , edward cullen , kinsey milhone ) have i read an entire series . it ' s just too much of a commitment and then i feel guilty if i miss a book in the series . i will not be missing any book that aaron falk is in . ever . no way , no worries , mate . i am so late to the dry party that i almost didn ' t read it . finally ,
the only way to leave a review is to first make a booking . that ' s how we know our reviews come from real guests who have stayed at the property .
the river ' s tent is broken : the last fingers of leaf clutch and sink into the wet bank . the wind crosses the brown land , unheard . the nymphs are departed .
from an optimistic future , they ' ve fallen permanently on hard times - the river has dried up .
there ' s something super creepy about these lines , as though some violent person is standing right behind the speaker , ready to do something awful , and enjoy it . yikes .
i know it ' s early days , but i have a feeling this will be a top read of 2017 for me ; i ' ll go as far as saying if i had read it last year it would have been in my top 2016 reads . the writing is excellent , the pacing was quick with fully fleshed characters , and the ending was satisfying without being too cut and dry . half the fun of this story is , even if you guess at the who , you probably won ' t guess the why until it ' s revealed . this was a perfect example of a book being extremely dark and terrif
the shot of the thames at night and the river logo over the top gives no hint of the emotional wrench that is to come . i like the way it’s branded like a traditional cop show but then pulls the rug out from under you quite suddenly .
, is this a springsteen written song ? the writers as mentioned above the song are listed as
the river
as written by martin terefe and katie victoria tunstall .
dry made an immediate impact : island signed the group , nme ranked dry among its all - time 100 albums ( in 1993 ! ) , and kurt cobain , who didn’t live long enough to hear to bring you my love , famously listed it as one of his faves . so put it this way : had pj harvey immediately quit music after making this disc , she wouldn’t be a household name , but you’d still see knowing record store clerks today pointing towards dry and letting you know it’s real good shit .
then you hear about the bones that are scattered in a

begin by saying : ' a time i messed up at work was when i gave a customer a quote that was considerably lower than it should have been . i realised my mistake and immediately told my boss about the situation . i knew the business was going to take a hit financially , so i offered to work longer hours until i had worked off the debt from my mistake .

tongad answered for him . “they’re happy with mining , ” he said . “groundwater depletes : no problem . river is dying : no problem . ”
once we know that stevie is dead ( but not a ghost , river is clear about that ) river’s internal world is unleashed on to the screen . his other imaginary friends , temporary residents in that rather crowded mind palace , start to pop up . when this week’s murder victim ( who turned out not to have been murdered ) sits at his dining table , telling him she needs to pack for university , i assumed it was his daughter . and i like that it wasn’t all explained with exposition - heavy dialogue . it’s nice to be left to work things out for yourself for once .
dry is great . dry is stronger than it has any right to be . in any reasonable universe , pj harvey should have had a mediocre or vaguely amateurish debut to her name . this we would point to as a product of inexperience and youth — something to humanize her , something along the lines of slint’s tweez or sleater - kinney’s self - titled .
picture where your career is going . maybe the job you ' re applying for is only a stepping stone to a bigger and better career . letting your potential employer know their business is nothing more than a pit stop on your career road trip could cost you the job .

cohen writes a lot with biblical symbolism at the forefront of his mind ,

having gone to yeshiva and studied those stories , i know that all the biblical things are so unique lyrically , and he uses them so freely , but you don ' t have to know the stories to appreciate the song .

“no one listened when we warned of the dangers of sand mining , ” my wife’s uncle shaji told me . with nearly all the sand removed from the river , the water table had dropped for miles around . when the monsoons came , the water whooshed away as quickly as the rain fell . the ordinary wells ran dry , so people drilled tube wells deep into the earth ; now some of those were running dry , too . the local rice paddies were long gone . along the river’s route , several major bridges faced collapse , because the loss of sand had weakened their foundations .

yeah , we know : eliot says ,
the river bears no [ litter ]
( emphasis added ) , but that ' s actually a sarcastic remark , meaning that all the litter is there now , but wasn ' t in spenser ' s time . that eliot ' s a confusing guy .
the director didn’t want a lugubrious or mournful score , though . he wanted something that at times would be very life - affirming , in fact , even though the film is full of trials and tribulations . but he was also interested in low tones , and indeed , hinchliffe took some his cues from the d - minor stylings of pearl jam’s “release” throughout .

the chemist said it would be all right , but i’ve never been the same .
he went on , “some people think it’s because i’m lazy or i’m just being contrary . but , no , i think it’s just—i’ve had my say . if i put out an album now , it would probably sell pretty well , because of who i am , but that’s no reason to do it . i’d want it to be good . and i’ve seen artists on that treadmill , putting out albums year after year , and the albums get worse and worse , less and less interesting , and it’s , like , maybe you should stop . ”
wow , this was really a great book ! i love it when books which are hyped actually live up to the praise they ' re getting , and jane harper ' s the dry definitely did . this book had everything—great writing , a terrifically evocative setting ( i felt hot every time i read it , and it wasn ' t just because i ' m running a fever , and i kept expecting everyone i came into contact with to speak with an australian accent ) , interesting character development , and lots of twists and turns . it ' s amazing to think tha
i asked him if he was afraid of losing it—if he was afraid of what people might say . “there’s no fear , ” he said . “i don’t feel like i have anything to prove anymore . what i do have at this point is a horror of celebrity . ” for one thing , he said , “it’s easier to write more personal stuff when you’re not as well known . ” once he became famous , people read too much into his work . “you can’t create something that’s an independent entity , made out of whole cloth . they know who you’re in a relationship with , what your past is . they tend to draw their own conclusions . your image becomes more powerful than the things you create . ” he went on , “i was seeing it begin to happen when i was doing ‘river of dreams . ’ i had gone through this celebrity craziness with christie , and the divorce . i felt like there was a proctoscope up my butt . everybody interrogating , analyzing—everything i wrote was fraught with meanings—and i said , wait a minute , i don’t want to rip myself open and let everyone see everything . it was no longer comfortable . enough ! i gave you enough ! ”
“i was trying to fuse , at times , the music with the sounds of the industry , of the furnace , ” he says . “i think the musical identity is very much from russell baze’s character , who is a blue collar working guy whose world is collapsing around him , economically , culturally and in terms of his family . the music is like the kind of blues around his life .
in my personal opinion , if this isn ' t a 5 - star read , then i don ' t know what is . impeccable . atmospheric and beautifully written , this is part police procedural , part thriller / murder mystery . it opens with a bang and will have you glued until the very last page . this is one of those books that you will find yourself trying to sneak in pages here and there , whenever you have a single spare moment , because you will want to know how it ends . absolutely unputdownable , i finished this in 24 hours and
a wonderful song that has probably moved me to tears more than any song that has ever been written . ' the river ' itself is fairly clearly a reference to sex and the desperation of the end of a relationship . but the song seems to be about the futility of life in general , and how we keep on doing things even when we know there is no point to them anymore .
i’m cutting together a feature documentary on the egyptian revolution using the video archive that has been collected and housed by the mosireen collective , of which i’m a member .
before long , at the sound check , he began substituting bawdy lyrics : “i just want someone . . . to have sex with” and “now you know i’m . . . full of shi - it . ” “i couldn’t have loved you any better , unless . . . you grew some bigger tits . ” cohen walked by , shaking his head .
i was both gutted and delighted when the big reveal happened . yes , it did take me that long to figure it out . not until i saw the gory mess that used to be the back of stevie’s head did i twig that river’s watery eyes and dogged pursuit of that young drug dealer were all for her – his recently murdered partner .

in my personal opinion , if this isn ' t a 5 - star read , then i don ' t know what is . impeccable . atmospheric and beautifully written , this is part police procedural , part thriller / murder mystery . it opens with a bang and will have you glued until the very last page . this is one of those books that you will find yourself trying to sneak in pages here and there , whenever you have a single spare moment , because you will want to know how it ends . absolutely unputdownable , i finished this in 24 hours and i had limited reading time ( read : i stayed up way too late to finish this baby ! ) . i have zero complaints . zero . if i had to choose something negative to say , i will say that the subject matter was difficult to read at times , however the violence wasn ' t graphic or gratuitous , it was mostly implied . just for the record , my vote is for tom hiddleston for the role of falk in the film adaptation😉 absolutely recommend .

heap initially felt there was too much pressure in performing what was fast becoming such a famous and beloved song .
i had actually just sent an e - mail to the show saying i was sorry , but i wouldn ' t be able to give this the time it requires ,
heap recalls in holy or the broken .
i was in the shower and feeling a bit sad about it , and i started singing it and thought , ' why don ' t i just do it this way—do it a cappella , with no music or production , as if i were singing in the shower ? ' so i got out and i sent them another e - mail back .

by the waters of leman i sat down and wept… sweet thames , run softly till i end my song , sweet thames , run softly , for i speak not loud or long . but at my back in a cold blast i hear the rattle of bones , and chuckle spread from ear to ear .
eliot is suggesting to us , though , that spenser ' s thames was very different than the one of eliot ' s time , which is polluted with
empty bottles , sandwich papers , / silk handkerchiefs , cardboard boxes , cigarette ends

i sigh with relief when i realize i ' ve read a 5 star book at last . i sigh with content . the setting was kind of interesting , and i have always believed that pound for pound , australian literature has been punching above its weight for quite some time . this book was so good . so freaking good . it doesn ' t need any words . not that i have a clue about its reputation . . . i picked it up on a whim and haven ' t looked back since . this is the writing that will entice millions across the globe . it ' s been centuries since the classical revolution , and the empirical golden age , yet the english language seems to be a leader in authors and books . it shows no sign of abating . i hope it will keep on churning books like the dry centuries after my death .

pj harvey has never made a bad album . anybody who tells you otherwise is not your friend . pj harvey has made one muddled , mediocre album , though , and it’s called a woman a man walked by .
in the next verse , he ' s 19 and has to marry mary and get a job with the union . even though it seems like this would destroy his plans of the future , he is still only 19 , and so he and mary still have the hopes and dreams that everything will be better eventually . their setback is only temporary , so they can still go down to the river , they still have that reserve of dreams .

this one ' s a stunner ! kiewarra near melbourne australia is in the midst of a severe drought . the ground is hard and cracked , plants are dead and brown , and the river is bone dry . the residents are all under stress economically . when a farmer , luke hadler , appears to have killed his wife and child and then committed suicide , the powder keg is ready . aaron falk , a federal police officer in melbourne , receives a note that draws him back to the town he left twenty years ago .
luke lied . you lied . be at the funeral .
the fuse was laid years ago , and now it ' s lit . jane harper has got some writing talent . the dry hit all the marks for me . great characters , great story , nicely paced , held my attention , and very atmospheric . i can ' t find anything i didn ' t like about this book . did i mention it ' s a debut novel ?

for a dour , scandi - inspired detective drama , the world is actually quite colourful – and all the more believable for it . the ghost of stevie isn’t pale or other - worldly : she sits in his passenger seat sucking milkshake through a straw , ruminating on the current case as though she is still alive .

i think the river is just a metaphor for their hopes and dreams . in the beginning of the song , they ' re young , in high school , and have all these dreams of the future . they dive into them , meaning they just bask in their hope of what ' s to come .
finally we arrived at the floodplains of the yamuna . we stopped to survey the deep pits and fresh tracks where sand miners with earthmovers had been working under cover of night . similar pits dotted the land as far as the horizon , some large enough , i later learned , that children used them as cricket grounds . the mining has shifted the course of the yamuna , destroyed animal habitats , damaged crops and threatened the purity of local groundwater , and it may be causing buildings to sink . but it’s especially difficult to single out the effects of sand mining on the yamuna because the river is troubled in so many different ways . the truth is that with the exception of a couple of months during monsoon season , by the time the yamuna river reaches greater noida , there is no river at all .
the only clanging howler is river and ira’s visit to the young murder suspect in prison . they interview him without his lawyer present , which no police officer would ever do , not even a maverick one . this is the only time morgan falls down , i think . if the facts don’t fit a scene , she just gently pushes them aside to focus on the drama .
“before we begin , i’d like to thank ogg for making this wonderful fire , which , up until now , i had not thought him capable of . ”

i’ll admit i’ve spent five years waiting for my opinion of this record to expand from “this is a neat and fascinating concept album about war” to “this is a masterpiece . ” i’ll also admit my biggest gripe with let england shake is pretty simplistic : it’s the opener . the title track . it’s not very good ! i don’t like the sluggish “istanbul ( not constantinople ) ” callback , i don’t like the off - key autoharp strumming , i don’t like the way the singer interjects the name “bobby ! ” harvey has brought us astonishing album openers from “rid of me” to “the devil . ” here she sinks into a plodding half - groove and lets it ride for three minutes . the lyrics are great ( “head out to the fountain of death and splash about ? ” yes , please ) but i’m stuck on that autoharp .
i think it’s a crucial step towards challenging the monopoly that hollywood has over audiences across the world .
singh eventually realized that law enforcement alone would not be enough to stop the theft ; arresting the leaders of many smaller mafias may be an even greater challenge than ousting a big gangster like chadha . now his focus is on harm reduction . central to his argument is an exasperating fact : there really is enough sand in the rivers and offshore to meet india’s demand for concrete and plaster , at least according to many conservationists . in some cases sand mining can even be beneficial . an oversilted river — a river with too much sand — is also prone to flooding and changing course , and strategic sand mining can help keep it on track . the catastrophes occur only when specific , vulnerable stretches of river are overmined . there’d be no problem if the construction industry mined only from river sites with a carefully identified surplus of sand .

this speaker then takes a moment to say that he comes from humble people and expects nothing . by this point , you might have noticed that the word
nothing
is repeated a lot in this poem . which is fitting because that ' s exactly what eliot though modern life had going for it—nothing .
this book had everything—great writing , a terrifically evocative setting ( i felt hot every time i read it , and it wasn ' t just because i ' m running a fever , and i kept expecting everyone i came into contact with to speak with an australian accent ) , interesting character development , and lots of twists and turns . it ' s amazing to think that this is harper ' s debut novel , because it felt like a book written by a virtuoso .
basically , joel had to start over . the mandate was clear : go forth and earn . he made two more albums , “storm front” ( 1989 ) and “river of dreams” ( 1993 ) , each a big commercial , if not quite critical , success : about eight million copies sold apiece . and then the river went dry . he hasn’t made another pop album since . ( in 2001 , there was an album of his classical piano pieces , performed by a professional pianist . ) his marriage to brinkley was falling apart .

cooper reiterates the point , noting , “i don’t want anyone to ever say , ‘look how clever he is with the way he moves the camera , ’ or , ‘look at those very arch , histrionic performances , ’ or , ‘look at those outlandish costumes . ’ i want all of that stuff to recede into the background and i knew dickon would be able to lend a very cinematic and atmospheric score and do exactly what i wanted . he delivered , i think , an astounding score , one that does not call attention to itself but is very rich and vibrant . ”

there ' s a layer of meaning to this song that springsteen may or may not have been intended - but it ' s there . musiclover - mrm points out that the river is figuratively meant as
belief in how good things would always be
. the river offers a baptismal soul - cleansing . when the narrator was young it never mattered how bad things in life got because he ( and mary ) could go down to the river and somehow that would make everything alright - at least for a little while .
then he takes a sharp left straight into christianity , with an allusion to augustine ' s confessions .
oh lord though pluckest me out
is taken straight from book v , and they talk about the pain of hellfire that the saint sometimes feels doomed by .
it sounds like a great film , i’ll wait to see the reaction it has at the afi fest .
on margate sands . i can connect nothing with nothing . the broken fingernails of dirty hands . my people humble people who expect nothing
la la to carthage then i came
but she didn’t quit . i guess you could critique dry by saying it’s not as good as rid of me , but what kind of pointless criticism is that ? of course it’s not as good as rid of me . nothing is as good as rid of me . your first - born child isn’t as good as rid of me . sure , dry ’s production is a little tinny and doesn’t pack the full - body wallop of , say , “ecstasy , ” but there wasn’t time ! harvey didn’t have island covering the bill or albini manning the boards . she needed to get these songs out of her system , out into the world . and honestly , what a confident and fully formed first batch of songs this is .
this will probably be the most controversial ranking on this list . is this desire ? isn’t a particularly well - loved album , even among some pj harvey fans . i adore it . i think it’s her forgotten masterpiece . let me explain .
vedder penned a number of songs “that were just so beautiful and haunting , ” cooper says . “i would place them into the film and they were nearly perfect . in fact , i would say they were too perfect because as i would toy with them in the narrative and try to place them in certain areas that i thought would be most effective , i found myself being drawn out of the story into how beautifully crafted and how potent they were . ”
if i’d known , i would have done things differently . it was too late for that now . some things had to be lived with . the dry is such a heavy and ‘adult’ book : not in the sexual content or violence , although there were several stomach - churning descriptions , no , it’s such an ‘adult book’ in the sense of maturity , with hardships , human disconnections and buried secrets . the book simply felt genuine and full of emotions . do books have emotions anyhow ? well , it certainly made me full of emotions , i can tell you that . the story is better than i expected yet still , probably about 4 stars for me but the writing is exceptional : very atmospheric , it was more like ‘watching’ movie than just ‘reading’ a book for me . things were so vivid , too vivid to be contained only to the pages , i suspect .
so she made dry look like kid stuff . shock is one potential medical reaction to harvey’s harrowing lyrical terrain , which channels lovesick abandonment and alienation into violent and occasionally homicidal imagery . she’ll tie you down ( “rid of me” ) and cut off your legs ( “legs” ) and stick needles in her voodoo doll ( “yuri - g” ) and stroke your manhood until it bleeds ( “rub ‘til it bleeds” ) and douse hair with gasoline and set it alight ( “man - size” ) . and then she’ll add insult to injury and tell you you leave her dry , as on the delectable , slide - assisted “dry . ”
one way to answer the question is : ' i would describe the taste of an apple as refreshing because of how juicy they are . while a person may not be able to taste , they can probably feel the juice as they bite into the apple . when i think about apples , i imagine the fresh , juicy sensation that comes with taking my first bite .

as i came to know manimala , it became clear that the river had mostly been mined by the villagers themselves . you could see the evidence in many of the new houses nestled among the rubber trees and coconut palms . some were made of concrete , large and sprawling and brightly colored : pink , neon yellow , fire - engine red . a few had heaps of sand out front to be used for concrete or plastering for new wings and other renovations .

i prefer to take the lyrics literally rather than treat
the river
as a metaphor for anything . the song is thus pretty self - explanatory . the narrator grew up in a very conservative rural village . his teenage romance with mary resulted in her getting pregnant , so they had to have a shotgun wedding , otherwise they would have ended up as outcasts . some years later , they are now returning to the river - the place where they used to play and romance together during the best days of their lives .
this is why the symbolism towards the end of the song is so damn heartbreaking . in the end even the river isn ' t there anymore . it dried up . now there ' s no escape , no source of redeption for the narrator . you grow up and there ' s nothing that can make things right anymore . springsteen is a pretty switched - on writer - and i think he ' s hip to the multiple layers of meaning that can be contained in a rich powerful song like this .
because , i think , the way you wrote it , it wouldn ' t have much sense .

i was very excited to discover a fantastic mag shop here with countless titles in english – there’s something about buying them and carrying home a nice stack – i slightly overdid my purchasing first time i went in to the store as i was so excited to see them all in a language i can read , so it was more of a pile than a stack if i’m honest . they look so nice artfully arranged on one’s coffee or bedside table . i think you hit the nail on the head though – it’s definitely that mix of being fascinated and appalled . but in my defence , who could resist a shirtless , buff rob lowe – my dream boat when i was 14 – staring knowingly at me from the cover of vanity fair ? i couldn’t and he looks damn good on my coffee table ! !
sally field delivers an all - time great performance in hello , my name is doris , a film so utterly charming and sweet , it completely transcends its formulaic story . doris is such a hilariously quirky but sympathetic protagonist , that were desperate for her to have this love she craves . doris is someone who wants to feel young again but is limited in her senior state . she ' s undeniably a protagonist for the older movie watching crowd and they will embrace her . max greenfield is also charming in a deceptively one - note role , though he has to balance his ambiguity towards his and doris ' s relationship , which greenfield pulls off . hello , my name is doris deftly balances the comedy and drama in such a tight , neat package . unfortunately , this lovely film has flown so far under the radar , oscars aren ' t likely coming its way . a shame , because if anything , sally field needs recognition for this . rating : 89

[ doris ] may initially be more pathetic than the feistier women of a certain age recently played by lily tomlin ( grandma ) and blythe danner ( i ' ll see you in my dreams ) , but her success at reshaping her life is no less pleasurable to watch .
5 . ever since i was eight years old and sneaking into my friend’s older sister’s dolly , girlfriend , cleo and cosmo magazines , i’ve periodically entered a world where women exist in a state of arrested development . every day is a kind of battle for them : a battle to lose weight , to get flatter abs . their primary purchases are clothes and cosmetics . they hang out for ‘me time’ in the form of spas , pedicures , cocktails , or some other small acts of hedonism . they have bikini lines and cuticles . on fridays after work they meet their loyal girlfriends to talk about men and bitch about their bosses . they drink vodka and when they order hot chips , they cover the bowl with a napkin to stop themselves eating any . in this world , metallics are always coming back into fashion and peasant blouses are always on the way out . in this world , you measure peanut butter by the teaspoon . you take quizzes to tell you whether he’s thinking about dumping you and what face shape you have . in this world you are at the mercy of your gender , which dictates your interests , insecurities , and ambitions .
as he continued his pitiful state , he picked a fight with a butch and her girlfriend for bumping into him and got beaten up . terrified , he pushed her to the glass , thus bleeding her and escaping to a nearby building on the 4th floor . unsatisfied with kentaro and showing off her machoism , the butch continued to pursuit him despite her girlfriend ' s protest . there he discovered a mannequin in a sailor suit that looks and feels like a real human from the softness of her skin to the realistic pubic hair . releasing all his repressed feelings , he began to stage a rape scene with the doll . unfortunately for him , he was then found by the butch and her girlfriend resulting in another beating . after another beating , the butch and her girlfriend got aroused and decided to go to another room to get intimate . as they proceed to fill their desires , they discovered three thugs , who were running away from the yakuza , hiding and observing them . a fight ensued and the butch was shot twice . thinking she has died , two of the men decided to rape the butch ' s girlfriend in the room where kentaro was at . sensing danger , kentaro hid from under the bed to avoid any conflict and observed the whole ordeal . after a while , the butch reemerged only to be shot again . the thugs ' leader then warned that he will release the girl without shooting her , only if she managed to get out of their sights within ten seconds . as the girl rushed to find her belongings , the girl discovered kentaro under the bed and decided to reveal his presence as a way to distract the thugs and escape . this proved useless as she ended up getting shot at . knowing his presence , they proceeded to drag him out and attempt to kill him . before they were able to do that , the mannequin that he
raped
came to life , saved him and kill the thugs . kentaro shocked by the events , fainted and fell asleep as his strength ebbs away .
kentaro ( tasuku emto ) is a down - on - his - luck book editor who is chosen by his manager to accept the company’s problems , and finds himself demoted to office supply manager , losing his fellow editor girlfriend along the way . he drunkenly gets into a fight , and to escape stumbles into a warehouse where he comes across the beautiful life - size mannequin ( kokone sasaki ) - naturally dressed in schoolgirl attire - and starts pawing her .
2 . i finish the magazine and slop it on the floor by the couch . from time to time throughout the week i flick through it again . every time i pick it up – inevitably when i’m avoiding thinking about things i should be doing – i feel a funny sort of relief , as if i’m finally being honest about my shallowness .
hello , my name is doris is one of those life affirming character studies that begs you embrace it like a warm hug . the idea of a senior citizen aggressively pursuing a man half her age is a bit incongruous . the fact that john truly enjoys her company keeps her optimism flowing . the script clearly wants us to laugh at her delusional behavior . in the hands of sally field , the individual is rather delightful . actress tyne daly plays roz , doris ' best friend . roz isn ' t afraid to dish out some tough love truth . she ' s pretty wonderful in her part too . the problem is , doris veers a little too close to pathos for comfort . her crush develops into something so intense that her unmarried hoarder personality veers into the uncomfortably pitiful . there ' s a thin line between love and stalking . nevertheless , it ' s an absolute joy to see the veteran actress , who turns 70 this fall , be the star of a movie . sally field is fantastic and the # 1 reason why i still heartily recommend this film . urltoken
8 . but the reality is that i’m a flake . a few months from now , i’ll be in the supermarket . there’ll be something i want . what the hell is it ? gnocchi ? crumpets ? wait a minute … and then suddenly i’ll be learning about perfect - for - summer haircuts , five things i do that stress him out , and ten surprising facts about leggings , and again i will be fascinated and appalled but mostly disappointed that none of this information is changing my life .
kentaro is a lonely loser and geek . when he ' s fired from his job , he also loses his dignity . at his lowest moment he goes out on the town to drink away his misery when he wanders into an abandoned building in the heart of the pleasure district . there he finds a pretty girl doll with skin so soft and warm to touch . her skin is so lifelike that he can see the veins under the skin . . . but it is a doll without a heartbeat . in his muddled consciousness , the man sees the doll turn into a cyborg girl and save him from thugs . the doll becomes his guardian angel with a demonic twist as she fulfills his fantasies by becoming a cyborg girl , a swan - lake ballerina , and his girlfriend . this hallucinatory and erotic romance fulfills the man ' s final erotic desires . who is she really ? and where will their romance lead them . . . ?
unable to find a job due to his bad reputation , he desperately loaned money from loan sharks and gambled . as he began to lose a lot of money , he attempted to commit suicide only for kokone to save him . this instilled him a desire to come back victorious , which he does when he won a mahjong game with the impossible nine gates . overjoyed he rushed back to share the good news of his winnings only to discover that kokone has disappeared . he got very disappointed . this however , was short - lived when he heard kokone ' s voice singing on the rooftop . curious , he went up and found her in a wedding dress playing a piano . this became a blatant fantasy as he then got married to her and the previous dead characters ( the three thugs , butch and her girlfriend ) came back to life and embraced his happiness . all of this being done on top of the rooftop . just as they take a picture for his wedding , the flash brought him back to reality whereby , on his journey back home after his winnings , he remembered jay - walking the street only to stop when he saw a woman who looked exactly like kokone .
. . . seems that the critics did not like it ; however , is ok to watch it but somehow it s too long ; the final cut could have been shorter without any problem to the plot . at some point someone can be down knees to the system ; even more in a place like tokyo ; fired from a job , without too much possibilities to have a gal or a relationship ; immersed in your own otaku world living a non reality to escape from all that and trying to survive meanwhile you see at your sides beautiful girls on and on . . . would be difficult for many ; so i think that this movie tries to show a bit of that side . firsts takes are pretty good , then there s too much flatness and at some point a bit boring , but the way to use the camera , the colors and that mix between what s reality and what s not let you pass those long minutes and wait for the final part . the end is good in my opinion , due to the reality is just that .
6 . but more and more , i’m suspecting that the magazine’s notion of gender isn’t real . it’s not even old school . it just never existed . if it was only ever a fantasy , the fantasy is now defunct . people are such strange hybrids anyway , and the world we’re living in is becoming increasingly ungendered . it doesn’t make sense to make a magazine out of ‘stuff women like’ . i was talking to my friend james about this yesterday over coffee ( we’re both unemployed at the moment so we have to structure our days with multiple coffee breaks – coffee is our reception , boss , and hr department ) and he described it as a feeling of smallness : ‘the bigger the magazine , the smaller you feel after reading it . ’ it’s the feeling you get when someone friendly - seeming and attractive strikes up a conversation with you and slowly reveals himself to be a mad - eyed salesman trying to sell you an freakish italian jacket out of the boot of his car ( this also recently happened to a friend of mine ) . it isn’t happiness .

takashi ishii’s often uncomfortably perverse and exploitative film is a bizarre blend of voyeuristic sexuality and rather brutal violence that trades on fantasy and objectification , and while an easy fit on the genre festival circuit it is unlikely to have much of a theatrical release life outside its home territory . the film screened at the fantasia film festival in montreal .
while the production design is terrific and the violence nicely staged , at times the eroticism and rather perverse sexuality can appear heavy - handed and exploitative .
the core of the film is the relationship the lead character’s relationship with an extremely lifelike and sexy female mannequin , which veers from sexual to protective , though when they first ‘meet’ he is rather obsessed as to whether the mannequin has a ‘vagina’…though given this is a japanese film the region is naturally blurred out in the film .
before long he finds himself under attack again from the drugs gang that have taken over the warehouse , but luckily she comes to life and is on hand to tackle the bad guys…with the ‘blurring’ there to cover her dignity , which is handy given that kentaro removed her undergarments during his ‘exploration’ of her . naturally kentaro takes her home , sleeps with her and tend her – she offers acceptance of his love as well as protection and solace for a lonely and rather lost young man .
in adapting one of his own mangas , director / writer takaski ishii delves into territory covered more subtly in films such as love object and air doll , and while the production design is terrific and the violence nicely staged , at times the eroticism and rather perverse sexuality can appear heavy - handed and exploitative . but then he is delving into dark erotic territory here and his boldness worth attention despite that fact that many may find it on the edge of offensive .
the first local summer blockbuster of 2018 represented over 77 % of the total box office last week .

for a movie about an abandoned sex doll that comes to life and murders yakuza , this sure does have a lot of heart .
the topic is very interesting that can not distinguish real or fake . you can see many unbelievable scenes in the movie .
this film does a lot of jumping around and the later half could almost be an entirely different film then the first half , but that is what i really dug about it . somewhat predictable ending but still effective . if you are looking for some light action mixed with romance this would be a good film to check out .
the thing about not reading about or researching movies you pick up , is that sometimes you really have no idea what you get yourself into . somehow i though i was entering some kind of japanese lars and the real girl - take , but if i ' d even checked out the director ' s name i would have known better . takashi ishii is a well known pinku - director - - as well as manga artist and writer - - known for amongst others flower & snake .
“love me tender , love me sweet , never let me go . . . ” - kentaro ( tasuku emoto )
strangely heartfelt , masturbation fantasy that was much better than expected , or really deserved to be . before watching i was fully intending to be writing lame groaners like ' lars and the eel girl ' or ' doctor doll little ' at this point , but its honestly a pretty tender movie especially at the end .
thighs wide shut ! kentaros a bullied , lonely , introspective dreamer who struggles with the opposite sex and getting it up . one day he starts to imagine a mannequin hes been enjoying the company of ( erm groping its doll parts ) , as somehow come to life . kentaro falls in love and marries her , only could she be a manifestation…
the film relies heavily on fabulism in a number of scenes , and i admire how those elements are combined with totally humdrum , realistic segments to challenge and confuse the viewer ' s sense of dichotomies , e . g .
real versus fake
and
fact versus fiction
.
it ' s funny to think about , because as those lines are blurring and disappearing for the viewer , the protagonist is having the same experience as his grip on reality and his connection with the outside world slips away . . .
out of all ishii ' s films - that i have seen at least - this one , the one where the sad nerd fucks the doll to life is the most palatable or accessible . not even the necrophilia could take away from the genuinely sweet and sad moments of the film .
it ' s all a bit inconsistent and at a certain point nothing much happens plot - wise , but in the end it catches itself and wraps up in a fashion , that for as fantastical as the film is , kind of makes sense .
what a weird , yet interesting movie . it had everything from rape and necro to something really sweet and ocasionally creepy . the movie is slightly vague , but made enough sense to keep me interested . i didnt get bored once during the near 2hour running time .
its a hard one to recommend , but im sure that this movie will find its audience .

the movie start off with an introverted office boy named kentaro , who became the scapegoat to the company ' s huge loss in revenue . as a result , he was fired from his job . adding insult to his wounds , his office crush disgraced him for his pitiful reputation when he tried to find solace in her . filled with sorrow , kentaro went to a strip bar and mumbled complains as he loses control of himself in a drunken state . one incident involving him almost hitting a stripper and getting himself kicked out .
the next morning kentaro woke up to find the mannequin , in a new set of clothes beside him . feeling confused , he looked around for the dead bodies that were killed only to realize he hallucinated or dreamt of it the whole night . looking at his
heroine
, he thanked her by bringing her back home . after a troublesome day reaching home , he decided to name her kokone . as days passed , he began to form a relationship with kokone , complaining about his sorrows and talking about his everyday life . due to his solitude and disappointment , he started experiencing weird things about her . one minute she began to talk and move her like a real human , another minute , she remained stationary like a doll . this confusion led him to madness as he then began to have a raping fantasy with the doll .
although he was shocked and frozen , he realized an oncoming truck was going to hit them and he rushed to protect the woman from the impact . this resulted in a blank and showed kentaro in his subconscious mind still struggling to find kokone . when he arrived at his apartment , in kokone ' s place revealed a messed up mannequin with no hair and tears in her eyes , revealing the whole experience as a fantasy of kentaro .
it was chosen as the 8th best film at the 23rd japan film professional awards [ 2 ] and was runner - up in kinema junpo ' s 2013 top 10 japanese films . [ 3 ]

mps are mocking donald trump amid claims that he told theresa may to ' fix ' a warm reception for him in the uk .
the us president reportedly fears that he will be greeted by thronging crowds of protesters when he comes to britain on a state visit .
it comes after the planned trip was postponed until next year with two million people signing a petition calling for it to be axed .
trump is so concerned about ' negative coverage ' that he has privately lobbied the prime minister to make sure he gets a ' better reception ' , according to the sun .
a transcript of the conversation has reportedly been circulating among senior diplomats with the president saying he is in ' no rush ' to come to britain unless ms may can ' fix it ' .
according to the sun , he added : ' when i know i ' m going to get a better reception , i ' ll come and not before . '

a political insider added : ' she tried to explain she has no power to dictate how newspapers and media might decide to cover his visit . after all , we are not north korea . '
the president ' s s state visit to britain was kicked into the long grass last month after it was left out of the queen ' s speech .
the monarch uses the address to inform parliament of upcoming visits , but the us president ' s trip was absent from the speech outlining the government ' s programme for the next two years .
the speech only contained a reference to welcoming king felipe and queen letizia of spain this month .
there were rumours that it could be back on again because mr trump is in europe for ten days .
theresa may invited mr trump on behalf of the queen when she met him in washington dc in january - just a week after his inauguration .
however , both sides have failed to arrange a date amid reports that mr trump has been put off by the threat of fierce large - scale protests .

1 . one day i buy a women’s magazine . i won’t name names . suffice to say it has a celebrity on the cover in a state of undress . some gossip here , some unflattering celebrity shots with irreverent captions there , and a wad of photos of lonely - looking but very attractive loose - limbed models wearing chic wooden sandals and carrying messenger bags made from navajo blankets . there are articles about the nine workout mistakes you didn’t know you were making , five ways to get rid of little white bumps on the backs of your arms , an article written in the first - person about a girl who searched for her sperm donor father , and ten reasons to eat walnuts . there is the revelation that even though bran muffins seem healthy , a whole one contains more than 400 or so calories and 34 grams of sugar so it is basically just a round slice of cake .
3 . i hope that this relief is really just the feeling of being comforted . i’ve been reading these things for so long that i have been primed to seek comfort in them .
4 . but then when i put the magazine down i feel an interesting mixture of emotions , mostly existential horror .

ha ! rob lowe’s chin is amazing . i would’ve done exactly the same in your situation . it’s a really tricky thing . i grew up reading those magazines and learned a huge amount of stuff ( some of which i wish i hadn’t learned ) . i still remember the special sex ed lady who came to our primary school who had a quiet word with the teacher after our first session to express concern that i “knew too much” . but magazines have changed a hell of a lot over a couple of decades . what was once risque is now banal . and accordingly , i’ve gone from savvy expert in sex ed to withered old prude .
