changeling/ina

maybe everything is related and has a reason.. after a week of writing and finishing my essays and then going onto the the next step which is what ??? I gave in my mew project - teaching its the way forward and something I'd lovr to be involved in - if it hadn't been for a friend coming in and telling me, I wouldn'y ahve found the next thing that feels right .. so we'll see. so al little trip into town .. trains stopping , a bus from kentish town , getting chucked off at warren street - ic ould have  sworn it was going to totenham court road, handing the form in.. these things get filled quickly and would have time to do it the follwing year and I like the idea of projects to keep me in London ... going to borders and finding it all boarded up.. gutted and also about the people who will never get paid for their distribution rights, like the independant magazines and a friends one at that, where they will never have a leg to stand on and see the light of their money, its a shame , borders was a refreshing big bookshop that felt that it was independant and sadly it has gone.. whats left on the high street , not much anymore .. the independants are going , our own local bookshop became the estate agent and it was a sad loss , I tried to shop their as much as I could, and still try and keep the local high street going.. its great though as you walk through the high street,, only in a suburb in london would you get a high street with indian thali places that it feels like real india, with real indians and not just those that are second generation Indians, italian delis, polish delis and shops alongside the iranian shops , plus the Irish boozer and the slavic drinking holes, a pub with bijoux and faux leather sofas thats almost a gastropub  and a local church with a dance hall.. ot really is all embracing and what Londons about.
digression alert . finally came back from town and put on changeling .. with brangelina... its apparantly true.. what happened in those days .. does it still reflect what people think about psychiatry and the power of institutions .. did this reakky happen . is this why people are so sceptical about the medical field and the placement of power, is people power only just beginning to have a voice, what is psychiatry doing about this ? when films like this are shown , does it reflect peoples thoughts on modern day pyschiatry and police and institutions in general.. how can we learn from this ... where do we go from here, throughout the men were frightened by the power the women in the film held and then used the power against them in the form of institutions, in the end the power relationship was changed using the court of law.. does this reflect how change must be made even now ... this was in the 20s in america .. in the 40s the stasi were around - the lives of others ... the way people tuen against each other , the play- the class .. whats going on now, why can't we learn from miscarriages of justice and take them forward.. why does power lead to blindness ................
