Molina and Valentin - Kiss of the Spider Woman

The Deer Hunter/Once upon a time in America/1900 "One shot is what it's all about. Nicky, do you remember the trees? Remember all the different ways of the trees? The mountains? Do you remember all that?"

[molinavalentin]

While Molina taught Valentín how to dream, Valentín taught him how to fight (even though dreaming in a prison cell is, in itself, an act of resistance).

Rest in peace, Molina. You would have loved The Prisoner's Dream by Eugenio Montale

[molinavalentin]

Come live with me in this cruel world

Come and bear its madness by my side

Give me children, obscenity, tenderness, and dignity

I have never loved anyone as I have loved you

[molinavalentin]

The zone is... a very complex maze of traps.

All of them are death traps.

I don't know what happens here when humans aren't around.

But as soon as humans appear, things begin to change.

Former traps disappear, new ones appear.

Safe ways become impassible.

The way becomes now easy, now confused beyond words.

This is the Zone.

It might seem capricious.

But at each moment, it's as if we construct it according to our state of mind.

I won't hide the fact that some people turned back half-way.

Some perished on the threshold of the Room.

But everything that happens here depends on us.

I think it lets through those who've lost all hope.

Not the good or the bad, but the unhappy.

And if I don't meet you no more

In this world

Then I'll, I'll meet you in the next one

And don't be late, don't be late

If this endless agony strips you of everything

If it even robs you of your life

Breathe with my breath.

[molinavalentin]

And I don't want the world to see me

'Cause I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming

Or the moment of truth in your lies

When everything feels like the movies

Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive

"Her name was Molina"

[molinavalentin]

She's the climax of your technicolor dreams

[molinavalentin]

You come into my life, and the fear of falling disappears. I, so much like you— free, yet prisoners of the very same cage

[molinavalentin]

She's the climax of your technicolor dreams

[molinavalentin]

We found love in a hopeless place

[molinavalentin]

Arrivi e dici dolcemente

Che vecchio stupido che sei

Ed accarezzi con la mente

Le rughe che ti regalai

E vieni a vivere con me

Un mondo atroce

Vieni qua

A sopportarne la follia

E dammi figli e oscenità e tenerezza e dignità

Non ho amato mai nessuno come te

"E sì ho detto sì voglio Sì."

Quell'uguale belato era fraterno al mio dolore

Ed io risposi

Prima per celia,

Poi perché il dolore è eterno, ha una voce e non varia
