French film

So one movie I have seen with my parents was Two days in New York (2012) by Julie Delpy, with Chris Rock together with Julie Delpy in the leading roles. That lead me to think “I know I have read that one commander in chief for the Swedish contribution to the UN operation MINUSMA in Mali, has changed his Turkish name to a Swedish name” (I can’t find the name of that guy, but I hope I remember that right).

Totally logical thing to think. Another movie by Julie Delpy is Le Skylab (2011). That’s the movie I think about when hearing “French film”. Basically just because Le Skylab is one French title that’s easy to remember. Le Skylab takes place in the 1970s, during one big family gathering. The grown ups drinks, eats, smokes and talk about sex in a none-prudich way. Also the grandpa is crazy because he was tortured by the Japanese in the second world war. While a slightly younger man is crazy since he in the army himself tortured suspected enemies in North Africa. That made me think that: “The French still have military in North Africa. Actually we also have a military in North Africa, in Mali”. And after that I remembered that anecdote about the Swedish officer in Mali.

About Two days in New York. It’s a romantic comedy there Chris Rock meets a French family that drink, eat, don’t smoke, except for Mary Jane, and use even more vulgar language when talking about sex, than in Le Skylab.

Things that makes me happy now:

* Some people around me have gotten their first dose of the vaccine. (Yes, the European Union is getting too little vaccines, on the other hand it could be worse, if our politicians had to organise it by themselves.)

* That they now build wind power plants out of wood. That's cool!

* That I have a plan, a crazy plan, of making money from writing. The reason it's crazy is the question: “Who do I think I am, if I think I can make money from that?”

Now since we only want what we can not have, I wish I also was a biology nerd, lab geek. But to become a writer you need paper and pen, to become a researcher, you need a whole university. It’s easier to find pen and paper.
