Xu Lizhi - Heart Buried by Life

continue to bear it?
eyelids heavy as mountains
his head tries lifting in the night
tear-drenched starlight gushes down
with wind, his frail body always about to shake
moments of youth flee in annoyance
leaving behind a snowstorm, a turbulent tumult
in dreams, the flames he tastes are ice cold
and his ground-off skin a bed of cotton bolls
spread out in the winds of time
intrinsic beliefs unable to find direction
like his heart buried deeper than
the depths of the ocean by life

「被生活埋葬的心」

 

还要不要隐忍下去
眼皮早已沉重如山
他的头试着在黑夜里抬起
沾满泪的星光就瓢泼而下
风一起,他单薄的身躯总要抖几抖
少年时光在懊恼中离去
剩下一场雪,纷纷,纷纷
梦里,他品尝到的火苗都是冰冷的
而磨损的皮肤像一床破绵絮
摊开在岁月的风里
固有的信念再找不到方向
连同他那颗被生活埋葬的
比海洋更深的心

Dunkirk

“Dunkirk” opens as hundreds of thousands of British and Allied troops are surrounded by enemy forces. Trapped on the beach with their backs to the sea they face an impossible situation as the enemy closes in.

“Dunkirk” features a prestigious cast, including Tom Hardy (“The Revenant,” “Mad Max: Fury Road,” “Inception”), Mark Rylance (“Bridge of Spies,” “Wolf Hall”), Kenneth Branagh (“My Week with Marilyn,” “Hamlet,” “Henry V”) and Cillian Murphy (“Inception,” “The Dark Knight” Trilogy), as well as newcomer Fionn Whitehead. The ensemble cast also includes Aneurin Barnard, Harry Styles, James D’Arcy, Jack Lowden, Barry Keoghan and Tom Glynn-Carney.

The film is being produced by Nolan and Emma Thomas (“Interstellar,” “Inception,” “The Dark Knight” Trilogy). Jake Myers (“The Revenant,” “Interstellar,” “Jack Reacher”) is serving as executive producer.

The behind-the-scenes creative team includes director of photography Hoyte van Hoytema (“Interstellar,” “Spectre,” “The Fighter”), production designer Nathan Crowley (“Interstellar,” “The Dark Knight” Trilogy), editor Lee Smith (“The Dark Knight” Trilogy, “Elysium”), costume designer Jeffrey Kurland (“Inception,” “Bullets Over Broadway”), and visual effects supervisor Andrew Jackson (“Mad Max: Fury Road”). “Dunkirk” is slated for release on July 21, 2017.

O Paraíso são os outros

Para assinalar o Dia da Língua Portuguesa e da Cultura na CPLP, a Porto Editora aliou-se ao realizador Miguel Gonçalves Mendes na publicação de "Sotaques", um vídeo que celebra a diversidade da língua portuguesa no mundo através da leitura de "O Paraíso são os outros", de Valter Hugo Mãe.

O vídeo foi concebido pelo cineasta, responsável por projetos como José e Pilar e Autografia, e os registos de áudio e vídeo foram efetuados na volta ao mundo que empreendeu durante o ano de gravação de "O Sentido da Vida", o seu novo filme (com estreia prevista em 2018).

Nesta leitura de "O Paraíso são os outros" encontramos pessoas de Cochim, Goa, Damão, Diu, Macau e outras, a que mais tarde, e já em Lisboa, se juntaram diferentes sotaques de pessoas provenientes de países africanos de língua portuguesa, de Timor-Leste, do Brasil e várias zonas de Portugal.

Numa viagem que reflete a diversidade da nossa língua, os leitores dão voz ao estilo singular de Valter Hugo Mãe e à sua personagem principal, uma menina fascinada pelo amor, que usa a imaginação para antever e descobrir o que é a felicidade.

"Sotaques" será cedido gratuitamente ao Museu da Língua Portuguesa, em São Paulo, atualmente em obras de reconstrução, após o grande incêndio de 2012. No futuro, e no seguimento deste mesmo projeto, será publicado um minidocumentário sobre a forma como as diferentes culturas vivem, no seu quotidiano, a Língua Portuguesa.

James Tate - Untitled*

I sat at my desk and contemplated all that I had accomplished
this year. I had won the hot dog eating contest on Rhode Island.
No, I hadn’t. I was just kidding. I was the arm wrestling champion
in Portland, Maine. False. I caught the largest boa constrictor
in Southern Brazil. In my dreams. I built the largest house
out of matchsticks in all the United States. Wow! I caught
a wolf by its tail. Yumee. I married the Princess of Monaco.
Can you believe it? I fell off of Mount Everest. Ouch! I walked
back up again. It was tiring. Snore. I set a record for sitting
in my chair and snoring longer than anybody. Awake! I set a record
for swimming from one end of my bath to the other in No Count,
Nebraska. Blurb. I read a book written by a dove. Great! I slept
in my chair all day and all night for thirty days. Whew! I ate
a cheeseburger every day for a year. I never want to do that again.
A trout bit me when I was washing the dishes. But I couldn’t catch
him. I flew over my hometown and didn’t recognize anyone. That’s
how long it’s been. A policeman stopped me on the street and said
he was sorry. He was looking for someone who looked just like
me and had the same name. What are the chances?
