 Forget about one armed boxer! This badboy is the one(at least one that adheres to the  system I work with) That lays it down much coherently to the effect of iconographically depicting how each chakra is conquered and balanced in over coming the monkey mind!

The story of Ricky

 

A ''so bad it's good'' cult classic, the protagonist practices qi gong, the prison is a reflex of society itself...

 

 

 

This is how I always imagined a expert of Qi battle would look like:

Kelabang Seribu(1987; imam tantowi) hands down…anyone familiar Camarillo Brillo? Essentially the royal buffoons who inadvertently ushered in the Majaphat empire are sleeping with a thousand year seductresses…quite ineptly so, that Barry prima  ambiguously leaves them to their own devices 😉

Just in case you missed this Gem… 

 

Speed + accuracy = efficiency 

 

I’m not sure if this movie qualifies in terms of accuracy, still, it’s fast paced and highly entertaining.

The Nettle Dress. Stumbled upon this a few days ago. I haven't found a way to watch it, but I did find a short video in which Allan Brown demonstrates his nettle fiber making process.

 

 

"Textile artist Allan Brown spends seven years making a dress by hand just from locally foraged stinging nettles. This is his medicine. It’s how he survives the passing of his wife, leaving him and their four children bereft, and how he finds a beautiful way to honour her. The Nettle Dress follows Allan's journey through seasons and years, foraging, spinning, weaving, cutting and sewing the cloth, before finally sharing a healing vision of the dress back in the woods where the nettles were picked, worn by one of his daughters. A labour of love in the truest sense, The Nettle Dress is a modern-day fairytale and hymn to the healing power of nature and slow craft. It’s one story representing a huge groundswell of people rediscovering the joys of making."

 

 

It all reminds me quite a bit of The Wild Swans by Hans Christian Anderson.

 

"Your brothers can be released,“ said she, "if you have only courage and perseverance. True, water is softer than your own delicate hands, and yet it polishes stones into shapes. It feels no pain as your fingers would feel, it has no soul, and cannot suffer such agony and torment as you will have to endure. Do you see the stinging nettle which I hold in my hand? Quantities of the same sort grow round the cave in which you sleep, but none will be of any use to you unless they grow upon the graves in a churchyard. These you must gather even while they burn blisters on your hands. Break them to pieces with your hands and feet, and they will become flax, from which you must spin and weave eleven coats with long sleeves. If these are then thrown over the eleven swans, the spell will be broken. But remember, that from the moment you commence your task until it is finished, even should it occupy years of your life, you must not speak. The first word you utter will pierce through the hearts of your brothers like a deadly dagger. Their lives hang upon your tongue. Remember all I have told you.“

Sweden's "twig poet," Maria "Vildhjärta" Westerberg, shares the story of living in a land scarred by the industrial practices of her parents and their generation. She felt more at home in the forests surrounding her home than in "civilized" society, and describes the pain of realizing that the trees all around her were dying, and how in the process of coming to terms, she ultimately discovered a way to transform herself and the natural world around her.
