MAZA7Y

"All the things you wanted to be and then all the things you wished you never wished for. It was a delicious itch you want to scratch but you find it under the skin and can't reach it. So the delicious itch becomes unbearable. It told you what you most want is what you most can't have and that the most you can't have is what you already had and lost." The Siren Song is real. It's the voice in our minds that seduces us into believing that our unlived life is better than the one we are living. It's the voice that whispers, "If only I'd made a different decision." And that's why no one survives the siren song not because it kills you but because it steals your presence. -If you are always mourning the life you never lived, you'll never fully live the life that's already yours.

I was starting to forget how great Heath Ledger's performance was in this movie.

**"My God, a whole moment of happiness! Is that not enough for the whole of a man's life?"** — Fyodor Dostoevsky

> يا فرنسا قد مضى وقتُ العتابِ > وطويناه كما يُطوى الكتابُ > يا فرنسا إنَّ ذا يومُ الحسابِ > فاستعدّي وخذي منَّا الجوابَ > إنَّ في ثورتِنا فصلَ الخطابِ > وعقدنا العزمَ أن تحيا الجزائرُ > فاشهدوا... فاشهدوا... فاشهدوا... The Battle of Algiers doesn't feel like a movie at all, it feels like a real documentary about the suffering and struggle of the Algerian people.
