Museum of the moving image

Um museu que eu nunca tinha ouvido falar e nunca iria, se não fosse pela cultura em pessoa: Tadeu, o meu flatmate. Dica de ouro!
Talvez pelo conteúdo dele ter mais a ver com uma das minhas paixões: o cinema, ele tenha me afetado tanto. Foi lindo ver as máscaras do "uma baba quase perfeita", "star wars"...
Uma das exposições era sobre o trabalho do Jim Henson, o criador do Muppets. Eu confesso que não sabia muito dele, mas pelo o que eu vi, fiquei encantada e apaixonada pelo novo mundo que ele conseguiu criar! Várias citações dele me deixaram emocionada.

"Life's like a movie, write your own ending. Keep believing, keep pretending."

"
I believe that we form our own lives, that we create our own reality, and that everything works out for the best. I know I drive some people crazy with what seems to be ridiculous optimism, but it has always worked out for me."

"
When I was young, my ambition was to be one of the people who made a difference in this world. My hope still is to leave the world a little bit better for my having been here. It's a wonderful life and I love it."

"I believe in taking a positive attitude toward the world, toward people, toward my work. I think I'm here for a purpose. I think it's very likely that we all are, but I'm only sure about myself. I try to tune myself in to whatever it is that I'm supposed to be, and I try to think of myself as a part of all of us - all mankind and all life. I find it's not easy to keep these lofty thoughts in mind as the day goes by, but it certainly helps me a great deal to start out this way."

"
The most sophisticated people I know - inside they are all children."

"I love to feel that i'm doing something for the first time"

"
I spend a few minutes in meditation and prayer each morning. I find that this really helps me to start the day with a good frame of reference. As part of my prayers, I thank whoever is helping me - I'm sure that somebody or something is - I express gratitude for all my blessings and try to forgive the people that I'm feeling negative toward. I try hard not to judge anyone, and I try to bless everyone who is part of my life, particularly anyone with whom I am having any problems."

"Simple is good."

"It's not easy being green": "When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why, but why wonder why?
Wonder, I am green and it'll do fine, it's beautiful!
And I think it's what I want to be."

Fora que ver os bonecos do muppets lá, ao vivo, foi emocionante também! Quase chorei vendo o caco, o
rowl, o mahna mahna (sim, é nome dele! descobri hoje! haha)...
Vendo os rascunhos dos desenhos do Jim, deu pra ver que os personagens são simples...E naquele mundo cheio de cores, simplicidade, humor, música e alegria, que a imaginação não tinha regras nem limites, deu para ver que existe, e precisa sempre existir, espaço para a nossa imaginação que as vezes, no meu caso quase sempre, se recusa a vir para a realidade :)

Um pouco do mundo do som do Jim Benson:


Curta com Precious Images do cinema (ver depois dos 3 minutos e pouco)


Vi aquele curta "A trip to the moon" em um Mutoscope e quero um desse em casa!!! Assim como também quero um Zoetrope!!!!

É, em algum lugar do museu eu li "emotionally attached" e foi assim que eu me senti. Posso dizer que the moving image, moved me :)
