Obama and the Antichrist




As I made clear to football, this blog will rarely talk about politics because, although it is an issue that can include in my general interests, not within the theme for which is designed this space. Still, maybe some time, as in this case, it is possible to find some aspect that there is a clear relationship between politics and remote or movies or television. Also on this occasion, for the first time the text The following is not my doing, but is taken directly from the edition of La Vanguardia
of 24.10.2009, and its author is Pascal Boniface, director of the Institute of International and Strategic Relations in Paris. This extraordinary event has little to do with the usual laziness of a Sunday afternoon ...


OBAMA AND THE CLAN

CORLEONE "Remembering the film
Godfather, Don Vito Corleone (played by Marlon Brando), who heads the most powerful organization in the city, he was hit by five shot while walking slowly through the streets of New York. How react, they ask their three children. How to preserve the dominance of the clan before the surprise attack?

In a very spiritual book, The Godfather doctrine, two American authors, John Hulsman and Wess Mitchell, a comparison between the movie The Godfather and American foreign policy. Does Coppola's film may give some indications on how the U.S. should conduct their international relations? Yes, answer the authors presenting the "doctrine of the godfather." Is there a parallel between the attack on Vito Corleone and the attacks of September 11? In both cases the dominant power, confident in its strength, has been violently attacked by surprise by an opponent who did not see coming and which does not understand his motives.

Three of the sons of Don Vito want to respond differently to this new challenge. Their children represent, in fact, the three options of American foreign policy: belief in institutions, neoconservatism and realism.

Tom Hagen, the adopted son of germanoirlandés origin, is the legal adviser of the family. Cree to be responding to the threat of Sollozzo clan with a series of agreements and mutual commitments, which corresponds somewhat to the liberal vision and institutional in vogue in the Democratic ranks and embodied, in his day, Woodrow Wilson. In fact what you want after the attack on his father's return quickly to the world that existed before. It therefore proposes an agreement with the other families. His leitmotif is: "You have to talk to them", based on the principle that they prefer the status quo to the revolution and are interested in supporting a return to peace if they have better access to some resources.

The second son, Sonny, triggers a unilateral and violent offensive against Sollozzo family. Wants to fix the problem quickly and forcefully because he believes that in their favor. Its precipitation leads to not analyze the correlation of forces. Is in fact, the neoconservative position. Sonny's attempt to assassinate his brother, suspected of treason, which is transformed into a trap that is killed is, in fact, the war in Iraq, the trap closed on the United States.

Tom's position can not succeed because it is made from a position of strength that no longer exists, making it impossible for the negotiation is sufficient to prevail. But Sonny is also inconsistent. He is also unable to impose itself through violent means. Sonny will isolate the Corleone clan , unite his enemies and the reckless use of force will accelerate the decline of the family. Prioritize the negotiations or the use of force are thus two positions illusory.

The third son, Michael, Understanding the need to make a major strategic reassessment. So bet on gambling to leave out those rivals who can not recruit and negotiate with those who oppose it would be very expensive. At first it is a civilian (is removed from the affairs of the family and condemns its drift immoral) but it is he who will physically remove the leaders who refuse to agree with him. Policy proposes a mix of stick and carrot. This allows for better diplomatic successes that just institutional approach and be a fighter more effective than those who do not see other option than war. Knows the Corleone clan structurally weakened by the global evolution of the balance of power and use both force and diplomacy.

Michael is this position that the authors recommend Obama. It is with this policy of stick and carrot as you have to deal with Iran (proposing an investment side, for U.S. diplomatic recognition. UU., A commitment to non-intervention and, secondly, the prospect of a freeze on all investments that would put Iran on his knees) and how to renew the Breton Woods system by integrating the BRIC countries, and so on. Thus, the manner of the Corleone clan , United States remains the primus inter pares in a world that has changed completely, using a time soft and hard power .

can certainly say that are just as pro-choice Tom Hagen in Washington. Sonny's followers are not at their best. As for the method of Michael, is mostly a matter of dosage. Comparisons need to be funny and advice relevant. "

estimates do not understand, I'm not managing anything, I have little idea of \u200b\u200bhow to manage natural resources for which discharge in a population, I'm not very familiar with the statistics, I'm not sure While they are political histories when it comes to municipal utilities, but I do know that the problem of water today in Ceuta is a full-scale fraud, and that it is good that we fooled.

Ceuta has always been a city rich in water, its subsoil is shown every time there is any work or any excavation. Why not be exploited, so do not know, but to date there it is. Then there are the wetlands, that it is true that if no rain, good for nothing, but just in case something we've had for over a year and also have been torrential rains. Where's the water? Surely there will be losses, and some other interest in not fixing them, otherwise there is no reasonable explanation.


And finally there is the desalination plant. How beautiful was the story, more or less like the milk, and has remained just that, in the story. A desalination plant is a plant water obtained directly from the sea after a process that makes it unfit for human consumption and industrial use agriculture. It is the main asset of the new water policy. And they told us and we sold him, but the reality was that since its inception has never worked 100%, not really know the cause or unwilling to tell ever. Because of that, the city government, whenever there have been problems with water supply, has been telling fiction films such as expansion projects of the same, projects to end water leaks, projects for new sewage system projects and more projects. But you never have to work for settle once and for all that fault drag since its inauguration.

Realities, only one, in the end we return to negotiate with shipping companies to carry water. Shame. Enough that people always have to pay the incompetence of both political leaders of the municipal Acemsa.
That translates into higher chilling in the water bill, and on top we lack thereof. In the end, the central government will have to bear the expense of the ship-tank and nothing has happened here. Well does happen, who claim that we become much more all believers and yet more foolish, because the only solution is that we entrust to the Blessed for rain, and rain and rain ...

Corleone clan


Horrible and beautiful. Repulsive and captivating. Are some of the adjectives that I would qualify Antichrist, the latest film from Danish director Lars Von Trier . Nigun had not seen his films, and had always lived outside the debate, recovered for the occasion of this latest release, whether it is a genius or a fraud. Well, after seeing the above work, I would not know at what point between the two end located.

Antichrist, although its title may imply otherwise, has nothing to do with the topic was the movie star of the previous post. In this case, are only two actors (not counting the fleeting appearances of a child): Willem Dafoe and unknown to me Charlotte Gainsbourg. Play the role of a married couple who just lost his only young son. He, a psychologist by profession, is assumed with relative composure, but she is plunged into a deep depression seasoned with episodes of anxiety that will not lead a normal life. The husband decides to take charge of their therapy, for which the house leads to a loss in the forest they call Eden , for his wife to confront their fears.

With this pretext, Von Trier unleashes their most dark and disturbing ramblings. At first the film works as a normal horror film, especially highlighting the distressing sound atmosphere and camera movements that make thrill in a cinema seat, with hardly appear classic scares. But as the film progresses, you go by trapping itself in the rarefied atmosphere that is forged between conversations, silences and glances, and can not help feeling increasingly frightened without knowing why. That is when everything explodes when you break the uneasy calm and take place the controversial scenes of explicit sex and nasty touches of gore sequences, that leave you totally shocked and broken.

But the film not only in visual impact, because what happens, at least in my case, it has a psychological impact that feels like a kick in the depths of the soul. It is the only time I have missed my breath watching a movie, from the first scene to last. Given the facts, the viewer is lost, no explanation for what he sees, and it remains completely fascinated by that which is revealed at the time , but had always been hidden, lurking in the limits of their imagination. The truth is that I find hard to find words accurate to explain clearly enough.

Following the viewing, one wonders if a healthy mind can think what you just saw. The answer is no, as Lars Von Trier confessed to having shot Antichrist as a therapy to overcome a deep depression. Also worth mentioning theories about the origin of evil that the film shows, on which I will not extend here.

probably exaggerating, but I'm not the first to consider seeing this film in the film as an unforgettable experience.
