Friday - what to do? News story - that's scary. 'Anatomy of Hell' - Oh my god! I knew the other half of the world better.


Friday - the saddest day of the week as it always is. After Horrie's class, I didn't know what to do. Go home or to the library. I chose the latter. Part of the reason is that when I get home, I just stay put doing nothing. Going to the library, though still playing around, somehow I am not overwhelmed with the feeling of being guilty for not doing anything.

Thanks to Nikhil Inamdar, I picked an idea for my newspackage. It will be about the increasing number of obese teenagers in England. So, what I have to do now is to prepare for interviews and vox pops. To tell the truth, although I have done this hundreds of times, there's always a seemingly reluctance in me. I know it's weird for a journalism student. But I can't lie to myself, I don't really like it.

On the contrary, the time when looking back at the work's completion always fascinates me. I will try all my best for the next news stuff. The good old self-advise!

Finishing all the information searching in the library, I decided to self-award by picking some DVDs in the shelf. This is the main part of my story today.

I chose 'Anatomy of Hell' and 'The Emperor and The Assassin'. The reason seems odd too. The first DVD was portraited with a warning '18'. Did I look like a crook when picking up this DVD? I wondered. Yeah, I went downstair to the check-out machine. I got them and went straight to the Hall when it's goddamn chilli.

Very much to my prediction, the first DVD was about sex. After 1 hour and 15 minutes, I thought about it quite a lot. It was more than sex actually. The director was a french woman and her film only depicted two main characters - the lonely woman vs. a women-ignorant man. This woman went to a gay bar and met this guy when she failed to cut her wrist because of the guy's noticing her in the toilet and took her to the doctor's.

On the way home, she gave him a blowjob and asked him to come to her place 'to watch the unwatchable' given that the man would be well-paid.

The man then turned up at her place to do the 'watching' mission. But if it was all about watching, the movie would never be completed. No part of her body was secret to him. I was really amazed when the camera made a close-shot to the woman's forbidden area. Shocking! The man kind of showed no reaction. However, their conversation was so much literary. I could only comprehend it after a while. She was stark naked in front of him and lecturing him about feminine feeling and sexual liberation.

The mission lasted for four days. The movie's content is just about the observation and action things. Though, there is some shocking scenes that a light-hearted person will easily faint or at least.... throw up. Again, nothing of human is hidden. This, I believe, is the purpose of the director. She wants to peel off every surface thing in a person's sexual life where the woman, according to her, takes the the lead. Men would never understand the deep-end of women. That she chose the gay man as the main character vs. the woman, more or less, serves the purpose. Man serves sex. They are weak. Well, I was from time to time during the movie really embarrassed by this. The man did cry when he couldn't turn himself on when doing that.

In some respect, the movie gave me another stance about women. Every intimate thing that women have is the natural thing that sometimes men fail to admit. And one more thing, French women have an enormously liberated mind on the issue.

The movie, in deed, is not for children under eighteen and for light-hearted people. Though, I would recommnend it to everyone who wants to know more about women, even the most of their physical and mental intimacy.

And it is free to all. You don't have to buy the DVD because, again, it is offered one-week loan by the library.

I happened to know today that Rocci Siffredi, the actor starring in the movie is a porn star. He shot several photos for Playgirl in 1990.

His five brothers had warned him if he chose to pursue the porn industry, they would not recognise him as their brother. Then, the name Rocco Tano was changed to Rocci Siffredi as we know today.

What is strange about this actor, who has gone to bed with 4000 thousand women as he claimed, is that he has been married for 11 years. He said his wife had known he was a porn star before they got married. What she's complained about her husband is that he often lost his orgasm (due to work) when doing that with her. In fact, the couples have co-starred in several of his films.

Rocca Siffredi is also a producer of his own movies. He says doing sex in films is much more difficult than in real life. And, one more thing that he seems to be very confident about himself: not many woman enjoys having sex with his 22, sometimes up to 24 cm tool.
