| 説明 | Albert Camus: author; philosopher; playwrite; journalist; member of the French Resistance; goalkeeper and a man who even managed to look subversively smooth while smoking a pipe. James Dean readily confessed to modelling his 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams' image on Camus' 'La Peste' cover picture. His novel, The Fall, was also the source of Mark E. Smith's band's name and The Cure's first single, Killing An Arab, was based on Camus' novel L’Étranger (The Outsider) about French colonialism and injustice.When asked which he preferred, the Theatre or Football, without hesitation he said "Football". These pictures have been gathered from all over the net, some from sites so cool you have to wear gloves to type their web addresses. The music is I Can't Stand It by the Velvet Underground, which though made after Camus' death, sort of sums up his existential approach to life: "It's hard being a man (or woman) living in a garbage pail". Although, where the 13 dead cats and a purple dog that wears spats come into it, only Lou Reed knows. I think Camus, who was well known for his dancing ability would have been a Velvets' fan.In his study of suicide, The Myth of Sisyphus, Our' Albert compares the human condition to that of the Greek king punished by being compelled to roll an huge boulder up a hill, only to watch it roll back down, and to repeat this throughout eternity. Camus says, in the end , you have to imagine Sisyphus happy with his lot. In other words: "Life is tough - deal with it. You have to make your own happiness out of the apparent absurdity of existence" The tragic irony of James Dean stealing Camus' style in life, was that Camus 'copied' Dean in death. He was killed in a car crash in 1960, five years after Dean died in the same way, aged 47.Right, now, where were we? "Albert! Albert! Over 'ere. Sur Mon tête Son"Full video at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8OW5qLnlgs |
