Colorless

Izaya?
Celina?
Jung?
Hyuna?
Kuya?
Akira?
Not one name,
I'm not a different person,
With a different name.
Flushing?
Hokkaido?
I'm not a different person,
With a different home.
Colombian?
Canadian?
French?
I'm not a different person,
With a different face,
I'm nameless,
Faceless,
Just drifting around,
Without a real home,
I'm colorless.

These aren't lines about me,
These are just to associate,
I'm not going to tell you who I am,
Call me Izaya,
If you want to know me,
Don't just look at me,
Let me shake your hand,
Let's have a talk.

But I warn you,
The person who smiles at you,
Isn't the same,
It isn't the person that thinks in game,
I think of you as a piece on the board,
Cause those of you who knew what I went through,
Know I'm a fucking monster,
Just trying to get out,
I'll just keep smiling,
Till I find a way to hurt you,
After that I'll forget you,
But you'll remember me for the rest of your life,
Shake my hand to play the game,

If I fuck with your mind enough,
Your not a different person,
With a different name,
Not a different person,
With a different home,
Not a different person,
With a different face,
You'll be nameless,
faceless,
Just drifting around without  real home,
Welcome to the Colorless

Three Women

Three Women is a short film about women in pain, struggling to make sense of their lives. It is a series of stories reduced to their emotional essence. This is a fictional piece but one that is also true. See the project at http://mediastorm.com/publication/three-women

This film was about three different women talking about their struggle to make sense of their life. These women have bad things happen to them, like being left behind, but they still go on. They were going to do things, like get married, but they don't. They just keep living, having days pass by but not doing anything.

This film by Eric Maierson is made of fictional stories but are true to him. The strong imagery and soft but powerful words make the film seem like a depressing reality about time and life. There is no music, jut the interviews of the women, i think they do this so nothing distracts you from the words the women are saying. This shows that the film maker really wants you to listen carefully to the interviews. The interviews itself are very depressing, slow, and quiet. They quiet they are the more I want to listen, I think the film maker really wanted that. The imagery is still shots, each picture conveying what the women are saying and the feeling over all. Each picture is different but you can feel the same mood in every, loneliness and depression, you start to feel what the women are feeling. This film sends a message about letting life pass by and not doing any changes. The depressing feel made me want to get out and have fun today. I'm sure it will make you look at your own mortality and get you to do big things in your life, instead of letting days just pass by.
