Dirk ...
And so I'm back again , and all because of him ..
Dirk Bogarde, he is my new obsession, and has been for the past few days :D .
I'm really really obsessed with him, obsessed with this beautiful man. I normally won't call a man "beautiful" because I believe beautiful should be used only for women. next to Bogarde I think the only 2 men I can describe as beautiful are the young Tyrone Power and the young Alain Delon. But, I never wrote a post about Alain Delon or Tyrone Power (I think !) And never was that obsessed with them either ! actually I was never obsessed with any beautiful or handsome actor that much!.
I'm a normal woman who loves a handsome, let alone a Manly-Beautiful man. But in Dirk's case I believe that what made him different to me is his persona ,The human not the actor .
I knew the name for more than 25 years, I knew the older Bogarde some how from TV, of course the "Face" was to catch any normal female's eye even if a teen age female ;). And then the name was said to be homosexual in the closet who passed away in 1999.
Back then, I never bothered to look his movies up though I love movies especially old ones, In fact I don't like the idea of homosexuality at all, it's against my religion and against what I believe is nature's intentions (sexual-wise) regardless of religion. So I didn't think I needed another Rock Hudson who was the SHOCK of my early teens!.
But that's not what I'm talking about any way. What I'm talking about is the good chance that made me, after all those years, And after me becoming a more edge-polished person who would take the good side form any given and ignore the bad, watch a small funny movie for Dirk and I liked the face, the body too as I like slender men, and of course the voice, the way he talked.
And so the journey of discovering this actor began - a fine actor he was but that's another story :) - and led to discovering this Man, I've watched a number of his movies and watched I think All his interviews that are available on Youtube .audio or video. And I was struck in awe.
The man is insightful in an awesome way I never imagined from an actor, he is intelligent, honest to himself above all, a believer in most of what he did in his life, a gentleman who never tells, man of no none-sense who rose above the image of a star in a time when all had to be stars no matter how much it ate them - Judy and Marilyn and Elvis are perfect examples - .
I always believed that the British or Europeans in general are deeper than the new world people but Bogarde struck me really.
And so I fell in love with this man who admitted that the war had the hugest impact on him, a young man in his early 20s , that it made him want to get married during the war then he decided to live for himself, and never get married because he didn't want to bring children to the misery of this world, Regardless of him being homosexual or not, he could have accepted the star-arranged marriages of the era, He admitted that he is a selfish - an Aries is always selfish charmer I assure you :) - who would want to be left to his privacy and enjoy himself the way he pleased with no attachment to family or kids. That his mother reflected her aches and yearning for stage acting on the family. and That he didn't want a younger brother at the age of 13-14. That he made some films for the money and made some for his own pleasure as a mature actor. That he loved his country the way he wanted it not the way it became and so he left it !.And that he let down a friend in need because that was the only thing to do to save himself, and that he regretted it. I became obsessed with him because I believed every word he said in every interview I listened to, because what he said touched a hundred nerve and rang a hundred bell in me.
I love most that he never submitted to the idea of pretty-boy with good genes which kept him look younger than he is.
He might have been a homosexual, though I'd really hate the idea of this beauty and charm being wasted on another man :S, but I don't care, I still want to read his books and his autobiographies and listen to any interview with him I come across.
A final note; one of the most striking comments on a picture of anybody I have ever read was on a Facebook's photo of Dirk, this photo
and the comment read : "The face of a human who has lived a Life, marvelous" by a fan named Jeanette Trumeau.
P.S. On my newly-started journey to find out about him I found that I'm not the only one who re-discovered Dirk :)

Silent !
Really, who ever made people talk in moives, made a major crime to the art of Cinema!
The movie that made this clear to me is a movie that was made when my grandfather was 10, when Saad Zaghloul passed away and when Tawfiq Al-Hakim was still studying in Paris.
Thanks to an old friend who loved movies and collected famous classics, I was introduced to it like 4 years ago. Yet I never thought it could be this fantastic, after all it was the 1920s! Fashion-wise I hate the 20s, so, a mental image prevented me from seeing it. But, I've been seeing it for the past few days ... et voila ...
Metropolis, a German movie directed by Fritz Lang on 1927, It must be the father of science fiction and drama, the father of visuality,Lihgt, Effects, and MUSIC. I never felt the power of a musical score in a movie before like I felt in this one, and they were a few times when I felt the power of an idea in a movie, accented very heavily by light, music, sets and even makeup..even the human body movement. The idea of man in the age of machine, upper class and lower class, masters and slaves in the same universe yet few of each side realize the existence of the other side. What struck me was that these ideas were common in literature at the time between the two great wars and the oldest movie that I've seen till this one discussing the main theme was also a silent movie...Chaplin's Modern Times! Was it a very pressing idea at the time or what ? I need to know more about that.
Anyway, The eyes of the heroine are the most magneficent I have ever seen, and surely that was intended for Maria, the "Good" in the movie. And as I said, the movie is german, a language that I don't know, imagine if it was a talkie ! I never would have seen it probably!
This is the official trailer of the restored version of the movie, after more that 80 years.

تخريفة حريمي
امبارح كنت بأتسوق
ولقيت شنطة ظريفة جدا
ألوانها ورسومها مبهجة جدا جدا
بصيت لها و حسيت بأسى غريب
ماتنفعش
ماتنفعش خالص
ما تمشيش مع الشوارع دى
ماتمشيش مع التراب ده
ماتمشيش مع الكآبة دى
دى عاوزة جناين وزهور وشمس مشرقة
عاوزة هوا ونور
عاوزة طريق واسع ومبانى منخفضة
علشان امشي بيها و انا حاسة بجمالها
وأنقل كمان بهجتها
.
.
لأول مرة أحس قوى كده أن المحيط بيفرض عليا لبسى حتى بأبسط تفاصيله :( ـ

Pandora, and the flying Dutchman
Well , apart from feeling furious or stressed or sad for the past couple of days, I had a treat for the eyes. I've watched the movie starring Ava Gardner and James Mason :)))))))))) Yes , and I was just thinking, what was all that beauty on earth !!!!! and without any plastic surgeries too ;)
Ava Gardner, well, once called the world's most beautiful animal !!. I think enough is said, this title can never fit anyone else I think. she wasn't exactly the fineest actress here but was delighteful to see. especially with her very elegant gowns. superb :D:D :D
as Per James Mason, well, He is the sum of it all in one man. Always a happy event for me to see him in a movie, sharp & gentle, cold as ice & passionate, sarcastic & discreet, evil & kind. and one more charactaristic that characterized all the leading men in the 40s-50s , not a single wrinkle in the suit :D :D. I mean what kind of fabrics they used to have back then ? :D :D
anyway that wasn't his best performance too.
Still I loved to see them both on screen :)

Something Nice
Well, to start a new year I've decided to start with one of my favorite things, Beauty!.
And to me Ava Gardner is the most beautiful brunette in the 20th century, and I guess the 21st as well.

الطـــلاســــــم ...... إيليا أبو ماضي
وجدتهاااااا ... أخيرا ... قصيدتي المفضلة ! .......... الطلاسم كاملة
...
قد سألت البحر يوما هل أنا يا بحر منكا؟
هل صحيح ما رواه بعضهم عني وعنكا؟
أم ترى ما زعموا زورا وبهتانا وإفكا؟
ضحكت أمواجه مني وقالت:
لست أدري!
أيّها البحر، أتدري كم مضت ألف عليكا
وهل الشّاطىء يدري أنّه جاث لديكا
وهل الأنهار تدري أنّها منك إليكا
ما الذّي الأمواج قالت حين ثارت؟
لست أدري!
أنت يا بحر أسير آه ما أعظم أسرك
أنت مثلي أيّها الجبار لا تملك أمرك
أشبهت حالك حالي وحكى عذري عذرك
فمتى أنجو من الأسر وتنجو؟ ..
لست أدري!
ترسل السّحب فتسقي أرضنا والشّجرا
قد أكلناك وقلنا قد أكلنا الثّمرا
وشربناك وقلنا قد شربنا المطرا
أصواب ما زعمنا أم ضلال؟
لست أدري!
قد سألت السّحب في الآفاق هل تذكر رملك
وسألت الشّجر المورق هل يعرف فضلك
وسألت الدّر في الأعناق هل تذكر أصلك
وكأنّي خلتها قالت جميعا:
لست أدري!

Hard rock :)
Last November i wrote about something that i admit i like, rocks, i started with gypsum for "teasing" reasons ;) and the title was Soft Rock. What i really wanted since then and even before that -and was delayed for whatever reasons - was to write about what i really like; this Hard Rock, the hardest of all rocks, Diamonds.
Today, i was introduced to a Swarovski ring, and i never saw Swarovski crystal before, it was amazing and it revived this state of mind of writing about diamonds from My point of view.I like them very much; but not for the girl's best friend concept , though very impressive economic concept i admit :) . It's just that I fell in love with the sudden glow of a diamond in face of light. I'm not an expert in diamonds but even the lowest value diamond can give me a shiver when it suddenly boooooom "Glows". I just feel happy watching this glow as if hearing music !!.
I don't know, but i feel like a blazing fire is burning inside the glowig diamond, and that this fire is cold as ice, an icy blazing fire, that's the feeling i alwayes get !! and i alwayes like it.
When i asked my friend today what she feels when seeing a crystal or a diamond glowing , she said that she doesn't feel much, like it but that's all. Well , i feel happy and light-hearted, really , and i follow the diamond with my eyes to catch a sight of every glow of it. Is that normal, apparently not, my friend laughed when i told her what i feel; and i suppose most of my friends will do :)
And by the way, this feeling has nothing to do with the size of the diamond , even the smallest can do this to me ! :)
