Megali poli, kinisi, agnwstes morfes, agnwsta proswpa, silouetes pou perimenoun...Stigmes pou aisthanesai san provataki, perimeneis kai sy san tous allous "se poio vagoni tha exei ligotero kosmo?" "Na paw ligo pio deksia, oxi aristera, mallon ligo pio brosta" "Gamoto ! Ti kanw edw mesa?"
Tosi monaksia mesa se toso kosmo...

Oh belga , that was a long comment. thank you. Let's see what it says more or less in english :
Navarro's short movie took me back to the days I was living away out of Rhodes. Big city, many people running araound, unknown people around me.There were moments you feel like a small sheep waiting and trying to figure out how it is possible to get into that train, in which compartment there are not many people. how to turn right , then left and then a step forward.Fuck , what am I doing here? So much lonelyness although so many people stand around me..
There were many times that I 'cought' myself doing the same thing as the protagonist. trying to find a familiar 'sight', in order to feel that you are unique and you're not like the rest of the sheep around you, to feel that you exist, that you're not alone.
'Magma' had a happy-end (atleast they touched eachother). Not like my similar experiences.
And i think ,the director expressed the whole situation as it really is.
(i tried to put all this in english, did you get the idea? hopefully yes..)
το παιχνιδι με τα βλεμματα ηταν καταπληκτικο... Ειπωθηκαν τα παντα χωρις να ακουστει ουτε λέξη . Στο τελος το αγγιγμα απογειωσε την ολη εμπειρια!
Πολυ καλη επιλογη Γαβριηλ
(καλα εμενα γιατι δεν μου συμβαινουν αυτα τα πραγματα? :)
it seems that greek speaking people insist writing in Greek. Ok then.
Here's Dark's comment :
This eye-contact game was magnificent. Everythng has been told without a single word. In the end , this touch has given another dimension to this experience!
Very good choice Gabriel
(why things like these do not happen with me?)
Well, Dark , i guess because you got married too early! That's why , I suppose... hehe
