04.04Gus Van Sant: Reflecting problems of the youth
I don’t know much about directors as everytime I see a movie, I would only pay attention to the the actors and actresses of the leading roles and the plot of the story, of course; however, if I must point out one, then I must mention Gus Van Sant, one of the few directors I known. I know him not because of his good appearance but that his great works just make people be unable to ignore him, the sightcing of America’s independent films and one of the most stylish directors all over the world.
When Gus Van Sant walked onto the podium of the Cannes Film Festival in France, I began to search his works in my brain, with the result that a lot of films emerged, Paranoid Park, Paris, je t’aime, Elephant, Good Will Hunting, ect. I couldn’t introduce all his works in detail because that might take me several days or so. So I don’t want to talk much about them, but I think it’s worthy watching them.
Born on July 24th, 1952 in Kenturky, USA, Gus Van Sant is a graduate of Rhode Island School of Design. After graduation, he was once a member of a band, Destroy All Blonds and also worked as an assistant to Roger Corman. In 1985, Gus Van Sant finally had his first personal work, Mala Noche, which was regarded as the best independent film of the year. Then his career as a director became more and more grossing. His 1997 film Good Will Hunting made him stand on the top of his career. In his life, Gus Van Sant has got a lot of achievements.
Gus Van Sant is a man who has his unique view towards things. When asked about his film, he answered, “ You can’t copy a film. If I hold a camera, it’s different than if Irving Penn holds it. Even if it’s in the same place, it will magically take on his character, which was part of the experiment. Our Psycho showed that you can’t really appropriate, but it’s not going to be the same thing.
In addition to being a successful film director, Gus Van Sant is also a published author (hia first novel, “pink”, was published in 1997), a musician (two solo albums “Gus Van Sant” and “18 Songs About Golf” were released on the Pop Tones label in late 1997), and a photographer.
Gus Van Sant is famous for his films talking about problem teenages, which is the main reason that I like him. Everytime I saw a film of his, I could know some new problems existing among the youth. I look forward his new works.

I know nothing about Paris except from research which suggests we want to stay somewhere 3-7. Can you suggest your favorite neighborhood to stay based on the following, We’re designers from San Francisco, 37-44, with a 2-year old. 50-100 years ago we would have gone straight for St. Germain (6), but we’re having a hard time finding apartments in that area for the week. I romanticize the history of the area, like a million other people.

Have an upcoming business trip to book in economy from LAX. Want to maximize miles (would prefer Star Alliance since almost all my miles are on Continental), but Continental’s fare is way too much…so here are the choices I’ve narrowed down: Lufthansa (A346) via Munich or Frankfurt to Nice or Delta (767) via JFK to Nice.

This forum has been of great help to me so far. Of course I want to see what everyone else is looking for in this beautiful country. I’m alone and have never traveled with a group, and I would like to try. The problem is that you’ve to dine with the group and the food is to much for me. I don’t want to waste food or money. I’ve already ask the tour company but they’ll not make an exception or give me a discount.

We (myself, my gf, and two friends of ours) are going to be in the arenal area for 3 or 4 nights in august. I’m trying to figure out where we should stay. The reason we wanted to stay near arenal is because of all of the activities around- the zipline, white water rafting, hot springs, etc…
