Last night dinner consisted of fried lobster, oven baked fillets of corvina fish, broccoli and brown rice.
The Queen of Dreams is also an excellent cook.
It is just a kind of motorhome parked long time along the Pacific Ocean in a desolated part of Mexico, but every night dinner is as they serve in a five star restaurant.
Of course after dinner it is the pioneering photographer who washes the dishes and makes a cup of Damiana tea with honey served with some healthy cookies.
This time in the bedroom which is at the end of the corridor.
Tea in bed because it was movie time!!!
On a HP-laptop running on the six solar powered Trojan batteries through a Magnum inverter.
The film was "Nell" directed by Michael Apted in 1994 starring Jodie Foster.
And Hollywood managed again to disappoint deeply the audience.
In order to please the audience and generate as much money as possible, the film is without true drama, has no center nor gravity.
The story is of a young woman who lives isolated in the forrest and who is by accident discovered by a doctor.
She has never been in touch with society and speaks a language she created herself.
Of course society can't leave her alone.
Not the young boys on motorbikes.
Not the press.
And not the medical world.
These are ingredients that could result in a dramatic and fascinating film.
But Michael Apted failed totally.
In 1970 French filmmaker Francois Truffaut made
"L'enfant sauvage" about a young boy found in the woods and confronted with society.
A film that is full of drama and is thought provoking.
But Truffaut had not the intention to make money as is always the case with Hollywood films.
He believed in something he wanted to communicate and was therefore honest and made the film out of personal integrity.
The way films are made in Hollywood makes at least the audience in the Fuso Szulc feel sick.
Disgusted.
Wood replaced by plastic.
Michael Apted and Francois Truffaut.
The difference between a dinner that consists of fried lobster, oven baked fillets of corvina fish, broccoli and brown rice.
And a McDonald's hamburger.

michel michel michel. You are so terribly biased against all things "America." This is a true prejudice that you exhibit in many of your posts. You cannot generalize that all Hollywood movies are without insight and inspiration. That is just simply not true. The converse is also not true, that all European films are thought-provoking and made without the goal of making money. Hardly. Some are and some are not. Open your mind.
