Nadine Labaki: what is next? where do we go now?

I went last night to watch Nadine Labaki's new movie: Where do we go now? or What is next? I dont know exactly what is the title in English, but it does not matter...

It was the official screening of the movie... I went... lots of familiar faces...everybody anxious to see what is next after Caramel...

For 2 hours, I watched one of the best movies I have ever seen...

In her movie, Nadine Labaki arouses in you all sorts of emotions...

You laugh...

You cry...

You get angry...

You get frustrated...

You are happy...

You are sad...

You are amazed...

You think...

You think alot about the absurdity of war...

You think how easy it is to start a war...

You think how hard it is to heal the scars of war...

You think how far can people go to save peace...

This movie deserves an Oscar, it deserves all the titles and awards that it is getting and that it will get...

This movie is the most powerful message of peace...

It deserves the Nobel Peace Prize...

Midnight visit

I am drunk...a bit drunk...

l should not go into the Big Boss's office...

Anyways, the door wont open when I am drunk, the system wont allow me to enter...

The Big Boss has thought about everything...

He takes care of us... He tries his best to protect us...

But he has also given us the power to fall and get hurt...

He gave us the options: either you are clear and straightforward you know what you want and you say it at the right moment..

Or you are ambiguous, unclear an you miss the chance and live in regret...

He has given us the choice...

and he has given us second chances...

I want to use my second chance card...

To tell you that I love and that I miss you and that I will always live with the hope to touch you and feel you...

It is not a quiet night...dogs are barking, the moon is aching...

when will I see you again?

The Big Boss has the answer but he won't reveal it...

Suffering is part of the healing...

But what is healing?

Is it that I won't remember you eyes?

I can not forget your eyes... I dont want the healing...

Leave me with my sufferings...

Anyways.. it does not feel as if I am suffering...

It feels as if I am waiting...

Just like Godot...

And I will continue rolling the stone as Sisyphe did all his life...

I wont be tired...

I am always relying on the universe to show me the best of this life..

and you were and will stay a part of the best of my life...

I am what I am...

You are what you are...

Our lives will cross again...

We missed the chance this time again...

But next time... nothing will stop in my way...

I love you... I will always love you...

Next time when I see you... I wont think twice...

I was stupid and wont do the same mistake again...

Suddenly, the door opened and the Big Boss entered to my room...

He looked at me...

He told me to go to bed...

He covered me...kissed me on my cheek and wished me a good night...

Good night...

The Big Boss's office

Welcome back!

The Big Boss looked at me...

Was he expecting me to be back so soon?

I don't know...but it does not matter...

I said: "I don't want to talk, I just want to sit and see you work"

He said: "I know"

His office is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen

You feel you are floating when you are in...

A real Big Boss office...in the middle of a cloud on a very bright day...

Everything is crystal clear...

On the outside, from the far end you see a path with greenery...

That is the road you take to the other world...

The Big Boss was writing as usually...his primary duty to keep things working...

I wonder what is he writing...maybe he is writing that I am writing that I am sitting in his office looking at him, enjoying the view, trying to feel the presence of a lost soul...

How did he know that? how did he know that I am sitting there, trying to find you in his face and around him?

It is because the Big Boss knows it all...

You can go now, he said.
