Hungarian GP and Yasujiro Ozu

(English below)
フェラーリ強いですね。他のカテゴリーのマシンと一緒に走ってるんじゃないかと思うぐらい速い。コンストラクターズ・タイトルもフェラーリがもうすでに決めてしまって、、ドライバーズ・タイトルもほぼ確実にミハエル・シューマッハが取りそうですし。ダントツで強いっていうのはある意味素晴らしい事なのかもしれないけど、時々評論家が『フェラーリが強過ぎて面白くない』って言ってるのも、今日のレースなんかを見るとちょっとうなずけるかなと思いました。だって今シーズン13戦のウチ12戦をミハエルが勝ってますもんね。ある意味凄いけど、ある意味面白くないかも。難しい所ですね。どうせなら今シーズンはとことんフェラーリが勝って、記録更新しまくって欲しいな。佐藤琢磨は6位入賞。頑張れ日本人。
そう言えばオリンピックも始まってるみたいですね。ウチはTVが映らないから。。F1もいつも友達の家に観に行くんです。

Ferrari is a strong team. They were fast enough to made me think that they were racing with other slower category. They've already got Constructor's title this time, and I'm sure that Michael Schumacher is going to get driver's title very soon. Maybe, It is really really great to be "always faster than any other" in a way, but i also understand that some critics say "F1 is not interesting at all right now, because Ferrari is too strong" when i saw today's race. Michael Schumacher won 12 races out of 13 races.. This is really great thing, but.. I think this is difficult issue. I think he can't just go back now, he and Ferrari should win and win, then they should make more new records this year. Takuma Sato was 6th this time.

昨日また小津安二郎監督の『東京物語』をDVDで観ました。何度観たか分からないけど、何度観ても良い映画。役者の動きと台詞が完璧にコントロールされてて、まるでイリ・キリヤンが振り付けをしたコンテンポラリーダンスを観てるみたい。物凄く強烈なグルーヴを感じる。ほとんど静止画のようなアングルの中に、絶妙なバランスで配置された役者達がそれぞれの速さでウチワを動かすシーンにはいつも驚かされます。小津の映画を観た後に自分の作った作品を聴き直すと、作った当時は『完璧だ』と思っていた自分の作品が、まだまだ未熟だという事に気付かざるを得ない。僕の作品ってまだまだ詰めが甘いですね。もっと頑張ろう。

Last night I watched "Tokyo Story" by Yasujiro Ozu again. I saw this movie many times, I don't remember how many times I saw it but still very astonishing. Every action and words from each actors were perfectly controled by Ozu. I felt like i was watching contemporary dance which was choreographed by jiri Kylian. I felt stong Groove from every action and scene. There's a scene that i really love. Some actors are placed in the perfect position in the frame, and each of them are using fans. And every fans move different cycle. Whenever i listen to my works after i watch Ozu's movie, I always feel that my works are not perfect at all, even if i felt "it's perfect" when I had finished. I need to work more and need to challenge all the time.

青木さんも小津作品お好きなんですね。それを知ってうれしくなってしまいました。僕も学生のころ、14年程前ですが、小津にはまりました。映画館で見るチャンスがあれば、最初の上映から最後の上映まで1日何回も見たこともあります。入れ替え制じゃなかったんですね笑。

その時、小津作品を楽しんだように、今は"simply funk"、何度も何度も聴いてます。何度聴いても飽きないんです。やっぱ気合が違いますよね。"simply funk"の制作データがつまったハードディスクがクラッシュしてしまった、ということを雑誌の記事で読みましたが、振り返らずに(笑)、どんどん作品発表してくださいね。

poipoi1981さん

ご無沙汰しております。コメントありがとうございました。
小津監督の映画を初めて観た時の衝撃は未だに忘れられません。どれも凄く古い作品なのに、その当時の僕には物凄く新しかった記憶があります。良いですよね。。

simply funkお気に召していただけて嬉しいです。ありがとうございます。そうなんですよ、、HDがクラッシュしてしまって、、それって澤井妙治君の記事ですか?彼本当に書いたんですね(笑)結構色々と消えてしまったので、、また一からやり直しですけど、まあそれもまた何かの始まりです。気合い入れて頑張ります。これからもどうぞ宜しくお願いします。

hi again,

i need to do an important work and i'm looking for a state of mind that allows me to concentrate. in this process i remembered F1.

your observation about the sound made me think... maybe there's more into it (F1) than i could thought... i found out that there are rules to F1!!! amazing! i had never thought about it!!! i will continue my investigation...

being with F1 on my mind i entered this section and i was gladly surprised with your comment about Ozu.

i graduated last year on Philosophy and Cinema and for a whole semester i watched several films by Ozu. i wrote an essay about my favourite one: Floweres of Equinox. but they are all very very very very good.

even yesterday i thought that maybe you like to see this film: "Brown Bunny" from Vincent Gallo. i was remembering the movie and i associated it with you... it feels the same...

if you can, try to see it. you can only love it or hate it! if you like it:great!; if you don't you can always curse me! you can't go wrong!

i loved it!

thank you!,
diana

Hi again, Diana.
Thank you for your comment.

>i found out that there are rules to F1!!!

Yes, they have. in addition, those rules are quite strict and really difficult and also those rules are changing every year. F1 teams have to face their difficulties every year. That's why we can see a great progress of car technology every year. That's one of the reasons why i love F1.

Actually, I've just seen it a few days ago, and i liked it. I should say that he is a great artist. I don't really like his music, but his movies are my favorite.
