Confessions

Now that, is 2 hours I wholeheartedly gave to you, Mr Tetsuya Nakashima. One of the most entertaining and truthfully beautiful movies I've had the pleasure of enjoying in a very, very long time. Of course, it didn't hurt that I was high on cough syrup.

This blog has dwelled so far on the mortal issues of decadence and depravity. But delightfully, it sometimes discovers a devastatingly disturbing yet delicious piece on death and discord.

From time to time, I will share some pieces like this. Pieces that I somewhat find a personal affinity with.

Do enjoy.

Deviously yours,

Reality In Building

Woke up late this morning and decided to finish up a movie I watched halfway through.

Inside Job - a telltale revelation of the causes, the key people and the extent of the destruction financial crises in recent years has caused.

It helped that Matt Damon was narrating. Once I got through to the part after Iceland's national disaster though, it was engrossing. Immersive.

I would take away but one quote from this film. Refined a little, from Chief Advisor Andrew Sheng of the China Banking Regulatory Commission.

"An engineer is an engineer. So why should a financial engineer get paid 4 to 100 times more than a civil engineer? A civil engineer builds bridges. A financial engineer builds dreams. When a bridge collapses, the builder pays to rebuild one. But when one dream turns the world into a nightmare, everyone else pays for it. Dearly."

Dreaming of Dreams,
