Klassikot

Robert Altman

Olen vanhanaikainen. En ole mennyt katsomaan Barbie-elokuvaa. Katson mieluummin klassikoita televisiosta. Viimeksi ohjelmassa oli Robert Altmanin (1925-2006) M.A.S.H (1970).

Elokuvassa on yksi kohtaus, joka on erityisen puhutteleva. Kohtauksessa lauletaan seuraava kappale (Suicide is painless):

Through early morning fog I see
Visions of the things to be
The pains that are withheld for me

I realize and I can see

That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it
If I please

The game of life is hard to play
I'm gonna lose it anyway
The losing card I'll someday lay
So this is all I have to say

Suicide is painless (suicide)
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it
If I please

The sword of time will pierce our skins
It doesn't hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger, watch it grin

Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it
If I please

A brave man once requested me
To answer questions that are key
"Is it to be or not to be?"
And I replied, "Oh, why ask me?"

Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it
If I please

And you can do the same thing
If you please
