American Pop
American Pop is Ralph Bakshi's love letter to this country. It's an animated tale of Russian-Jewish immigrants fleeing the terror of the Cossacks for the poverty and turbulence of a new land, the filthy ghettos and gutters of NYC. It juxtaposes four generations of a family against the wild backdrop of the American cultural shift, as history progresses from the musty and stale, cigarette-smoke-choking air of the burlesque houses and dance halls of 1911, to the incense and peppermints perfume wafting up from so many stoned hippies, and later punks. We follow Zalmie, his son Benny (killed by a German soldier while playing piano), HIS son Tony, and finally "Little Pete," on their peculiarly American journey; one often marked by tragedy. It's a huge story with a huge, scuffed, beating, American heart, and it even manages to win a place in my jaded, cynical heart. But the film itself paints no rosy portrait of the human condition.

New York City

That is truly the only explanation I have for why I feel so at home in a city that I have never lived in.

The cool night
The sky has turned cold, the night cool as water. Looking up, the cold moon hangs high. Baring my arms to the outside, a cool breeze brushes gently like cool water. I wonder, is this the chill of the air? Or the chill of the cold moon? Has the air grown lonely, exhaling a sigh? Or is it the figure on the icy palace, unable to bear the loneliness of the sky, descending to earth, bringing waves of cold? Perhaps it is none of these, simply that the heart of man is lonely, lonely in the sky, lonely in the air. Yet loneliness is not bad, a rare and precious loneliness, where man quiets down, the heart calms, all sound fades away. The busyness of the day, perhaps, is for this moment of tranquility. I do not dislike it, I like it.
