It's snowing in Paris

I went to the movies yesterday in the evening, to relax after what happened at school, and saw a good French movie Le Petit Lieutenant by Xavier Beauvois. I really recommend it. It's quite realistic unlike so many films about police. It shows the everyday routine of a homicide squad through the coming of a young lieutenant, Antoine,  fresh out of the academy, who lived in Le Havre until he passed his examination and moved to Paris while his young wife stayed on the coast. Antoine is excited and dreams of fighting crimes. In one scene he said he wanted to become a cop "because of movies, at least at the beginning", which was funny of course and a nice touch here since the film is anything but the usual detective movie!

Among other news, Subcommander Marcos announced that the EZLN was disbanded. This is the end of an age. I didn't get to meet him when I was in selva lacandona in Chiapas, but I've always been fond of this guy. It wasn't the Zorro attitude and costume, even though he did have charisma, I guess I liked the way he wrote actually and how he couldn't help being a storyteller and a poet in the communiqués collected in the book  Ya Basta!

I knew it !
