C’est l’histoire d’une société qui tombe et qui, au fur et à mesure de sa chute se répète pour se rassurer : “Jusqu’ici tout va bien, jusqu’ici tout va bien, jusqu’ici tout va bien.” Mais ce qui compte c’est pas la chute. C’est l’atterrissage.

Tonight I am going to be having the long-awaited screening of the French film La Haine. I have people coming over at 7pm and hopefully there will be a decent turnout. Playing Host is fun :) I have a good feeling they’ll like the film as much as I do, and more importantly see the linkage between what was made 10 years ago and what transpired last month in France.

It is the story of a society which is falling and as it falls, it repeats to be reassure himself: “So far so good, so far so good, so far so good, so far so good.” How far you fall doesn’t matter, it’s how you land.
