Tonight is my last night in dorm Tonight I did my last laundry in dorm
I am pretty much packed except for the last round of laundry that's drying outside. I dont have much to throw out either. Thought some stuff like table lamp, lan cable etc, i should leave it with the Singapore asociation. So that my juniors who might come to Fudan in future can benefit from it. Goodbye air-con, goodbye my desk, the only private space that I own. Goodbye Room 834.

I am chionging some of the DVDs that laoda passed to me some time ago. Watched El bano del PAPA, Wild strawberries and おもひでぽろぽろ for the past 2 days. They are all great films~! おもひでぽろぽろ is still my personal favourite out of the 3
'Chronos' is playing now as I type this. Montage at work, seriously, and so scarily. So queer and breathtaking that I decided to google about it.
Chronos , "An incredible visual-music journey through time", released in 1985, 40 minutes. Chronos was Ron Fricke, Mark Magidson, Michael Stearns and Alton Walpole's first collaboration. Chronos is a very positive film showing beauty from around the world. Chronos has the feel of Baraka, yet its content is often more about how the subject is shown/filmed instead of the subject itself. But don't let that put you off, I think Chronos is greatly underrated. The incredible time lapse sequences, concepts and techniques clearly being the seed for Baraka.
Chronos is a greatly overlooked film. Although only 40 minutes in length the content is outstanding. All of the images are of the great things on the planet (with the exception of Dunkirk perhaps). Filmed with great care and consistency. The time lapse scenes are rivaled only by Baraka. The aerial view of the changing tide at Mont-St-Michel is incredible, Michael Stearns choice of music is excellent. The accelerated scenes of humans moving remind you we are just animals. They often become so fast and intense you feel like jumping up and shouting "Stop!", but the journey then ends leaving you gazing at rolling clouds. Perhaps some of the best footage ever of Stonehenge, without the now worrying chain fencing. The shots inside the buildings are also incredible, particularly the moving beams of sunlight. A must for any Ron Fricke/Baraka fan. Perhaps a test run for Baraka, but a great film in its own right.
