Trapped inside two movie scenes near xmas - Autobiography

Christmas is a magnificient season where magic's on the air.
 I just love it.
 Today, my mind was dwelling inside two of my favorites movies ever by American director David Lynch named "lost highway" from 1997 and "mulholland drive" from 2001.
Lynch uses different kinds of codes to write a narrative with actors, color, silence, noise, music, cities, pretty women and absolutely awesome landscapes in his movies.
 Sometimes I think, other times I don't think while I'm trying to tell a story.
 I know that I love soccer and that Portuguese coach José Mourinho left Manchester United this week.
 I'm not connecting some dots between David Lynch's movies or TV series with soccer.
 I really know that deep within my mind that life's a beautiful thing when Nature comunicates itself to all living beings in this planet in the exact same way in xmas time.
 This will be a random short narrative with pics and printed papers with stills, posters of these two movies already mentioned above, Twin Peaks TV series, Italian director Federico Fellini masterpiece movie "La Dolce Vita" from 1960 (David Lynch always mentioned Fellini as one of his inspirations as an artist), David Bowie as a Twin Peaks actor named Philip Jeffries, as the chameleon, as the Thin White Duke, Alladinsane, Ziggy Stardust or blackstar (that's now cosmic dust in this planet), love stories, beautiful women, Masterpiece novel "Alice in wonderland" by British writer Lewis Carroll, a ghost within ourselves, an artwork based on me as a Twin Peaks character by Italian artist Marco Polenta, another artwork based on Neil Gaiman's Sandman character by Brazilian artist Douglas P. Lobo and my youngest niece Leticia.
 I know that I was rewatching "Lost Highway" and a Mystery Man character scene with the main character of it in my mind.
 Also rewatching "Mulholland Drive" and a scene between a cowboy, interpreted by one of my favourite musicians that's Michael Gira from the American band The Swans and one of the main characters of it was also in my mind.
 I've quickly decided to use videos with these scenes and their written dialogue in order for this short narrative to make some sense in my mind.
 I know that below is a pic of myself in old Europe while being in love.

 
01


David Bowie was not only a singer, an actor or an awesome artist, Bowie had style, knew everything about arts or feelings and when he turned in January's 2016 into a blackstar, a part of my memories were suddenly cosmic dust because Bowie was a sort of father figure to myself and maybe to millions of his fans also.


02

I really don't know who are my fans or even if they exist or are fictional but I'm pretty sure that my youngest niece Leticia is one of them, I know that she's only a child and part of my own blood that I try to raise as a strong woman.
 I truly believe in everything that she says to me because everybody knows that children love fiction or faerie tales but they don't lie.
The same happens with my youngest niece, all my other nieces or nephews and cousins either male or female.



03


I always was fond of love stories, because if you don't love a love story you're already dead inside yourself in my humble opinion.


04

I love coffee and coffeeshops either with pretty ladies or with people communicating among themselves with the comunication code that we human beings use, that's really different from other living beings in this same planet and I'm pretty sure that they are smarter than us and that they even create its own love stories in their comunication.
 In the pic below, I've put on it an artwork with coffee, Twin Peaks TV series, a musical element, a pretty lady in orange color that represents fire or desire in life.
 There's also an artwork based on Twin Peaks TV series and a quote by special FBI Agent Dale Cooper in it:
"I have no idea where this will lead us, but I have a definite feeling it will be a place both wonderful and strange"



05

In the picture below, I've put pics of myself in it in between pics of "Lost Highway" or "Mulholland Drive" movies trapped inside a blue color.


06

In the picture below, I've put pics of myself as some sort of "ghost" and of my friend and excellent musician Mascara Girl in between pics of "Lost Highway" or "Mulholland Drive" movies trapped inside a blue color.

07

Loving life's loving being among people while showing a fascinating still from Federico Fellini's masterpiece movie "La Dolce Vita".

08


Maybe we simple human beings live inside a dream where we act as some sort of Gods among other living beings just like in the movies.


09

Maybe I'm a simple "ghost" taking pictures to pretty women as can be seen below.

10

Maybe I'm trapped in these two movies where everything's taped and recorded with pics of them and of Mascara Girl and a pretty lady.

11

Maybe I'm still trying to decypher "Alice in Wonderland" masterpiece by British writer Lewis Carroll that's still quite popular in the XXIst Century.

12

Maybe, I'm trapped not on the two movies above mentioned but on Twin Peaks prelude that was a movie named "Fire walk with me" directed by David Lynch while writing a love story live to a pretty lady in the city where I was born.


13

Maybe I'm a "ghost" within myself trapped inside some mirror.

14

Maybe, I'm writing an autobiography and a love story at the same time while thinking on British writer Neil Gaiman's Sandman character as shown below in an artwork by Brazilian artist Douglas P Lobo or in an artwork based on myself created by Italian artist Marco Polenta while being lost in Twin Peaks TV series "Red room".



15

Maybe, I'm looking at a statue, smoking a cigarette without internet.

16

I'm sure that I'm not a superman, so I can't fly as high as an airplane, but people sometimes tell that when we dream, we do indeed fly.

17

Below are the two scenes that were stuck in my mind for two days of the above mentioned movies that I'm using for a chapter of my own autobiography with help by more than 60 of the best international contemporary artists that created artworks based on myself.
 You're the best. Merry Christmas to everyone.

Mystery Man: We've met before, haven't we?
Fred: I don't think so. Where was it you think we met?
Mystery Man: At your house. Don't you remember?
Fred: No. No, I don't. Are you sure?
Mystery Man: Of course. As a matter of fact, I'm there right now.
Fred: What do you mean? You're where right now?
Mystery Man: At your house.
Fred[pause] That's fucking crazy, man.
Mystery Man: Call Me. Dial your number. Go ahead.
[Fred dials the number and the Mystery Man answers]
Mystery Man[over the phone] I told you I was here.
Fred[alarmed] How'd you do that?
Mystery Man: Ask me.
Fred[angrily into the phone] How did you get inside my house?
Mystery Man: You invited me. It is not my custom to go where I am not wanted.
Fred[into the phone] Who are you?
[Both Mystery Men laugh]
Mystery Man[over the phone] Give me back my phone.
[Fred gives the phone back]







Mystery Man: It's been a pleasure talking to you.







CowboyHowdy.
Adam KesherHowdy to you.
CowboyBeautiful evening.
Adam KesherYeah.
CowboySure wanna thank you for coming all the way up here to see me from that... nice little hotel downtown.
Adam Kesher:No problem. What's on your mind?
Cowboy:Well, now. Here's a man who wants to get right down to it.
Kinda anxious to get down to it, are you?
Adam Kesher: whatever..
Cowboy:A man's attitude... a man's attitude goes some ways toward how a man's life will be. Is that somethin' you agree with?
Adam Kesher:
Sure.
Cowboy:Now... did you answer cause you thought that's what I wanted to hear or did you think about what I said and answer cause you truly believe that to be right?
Adam Kesher: I agree with what you say, truly.
Cowboy: What I say?
Adam Kesher: that a man's attitude determines to a large extent what his life will be.
Cowboy: So since you agree, you must be a person who does not care about the good life.
Adam Kesher: How's that?
Cowboy:Well, just stop for a little second and think about it. Will ya do that for me?
Adam Kesher:Okay, I'm thinking.
Cowboy:No, you're not thinkin'. You're too busy being a smart aleck to be thinkin'. Now I want ya to *think* and stop bein' a smart aleck. Can ya try that for me?
Adam Kesher: Look, where's this going?
What you want me to do?
Cowboy:There's sometimes a buggy. How many drivers does a buggy have?
Adam Kesher:One.
Cowboy:So, let's just say I'm driving this buggy. And, if you fix your attitude, you can ride along with me.
Adam Kesher: ok
Cowboy: I want you to go back to work tomorrow. You were recasting the lead actress anyway, auditioning many girls for the part.
When you see the girl that was shown to you earlier today, you'll say: this is the girl.
 The rest of the crew can stay, that's up to you, but that lead girl is not up to you.
 Now you'll see me one more time if you do good.
 You'll see me two more times if you do bad. 
 Good night.
