Shiki-Jitsu crep that I said I'd post a while back.

The movie was written and directed by Hiedaki Anno and is based off a Novel written by the actress who stars as the girl in the movie. The actor, who plays a movie maker in the film is infact movie maker Shunji Iwai.

Hearing him say this in the movie, I can't help but read it autobiographically for Anno.

"lmages, especially animation, simply embody our personal and collective fantasies, manipulating selected information, and fictional constructs. Even live-action film, recording actuality, does not correspond to reality. Conversely, reality, co-opted by fiction, loses its value. '' The inversion of reality and fiction''

None of this matters to me anymore. My consciousness, my reality, my subject, all converge in her.

Certainly, she longs to escape into fantasy. Certainly, I long to escape from fantasy.

I wanted to keep a visual record of these contradictory phenomena. But, my behavior is really no more than an excuse for my inability to communicate except through images"

These are the sorts of images he uses :)

I want that race track!!!

It's the one I had as a kid but it was much much smaller than that - I'm betting it took about 10-20 sets to make that :)

I was gonna say; you must've been one damn lucky kid. I think I had about 3 of those race tracks when I was growing up. My brother and I shared them, but they always managed to break. Hmm. Maybe if we weren't for fiercely competitive...
