Comedii la Portile Orientului by Andrei Plesu – in my view, Andrei Plesu is the absolute Magister Ludi, one of the greatest luminaries of all time

 

10 out of 10

 

I have taken a look at Comedii la Portile Orientului https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2026/07/a-look-at-comedii-la-portile-orientului.html some years ago, and now that we can access this on YouTube, or at least parts of it, why not repeat the exhilaration, exuberance, this is not just a philosopher, but a comedian as well

 

The luminary has been an acclaimed public figure for decades, although I would not be surprised to ask a young person and find they do not know about him, the other day, I have asked a teenager about Funar, a far-right mayor of Cluj, despite the fact that the adolescent was from that city, she did not know about this mad man

That notwithstanding, there is a major difference, that mayor was an idiot, a precursor of the Orange Fool  https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/01/confidence-man-making-of-donald-trump.html given to paint park benches in the national colors, while Andrei Plesu is the nec plus ultra, crème de la crème of intellectuality

 

He has been a minister of culture, foreign affairs, trying to serve the public, only to become a target…I had a plan, that did not work alas: we had a house near the mountains, in Rosenau, and I thought that maybe we could offer hospitality, drive him around in what was then something of a limousine, when he comes to Brasov for lectures

I even talked to Vlad Zografi https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/09/petru-by-vlad-zografi-we-must-note-that.html about some logistical aspects, he was then a manager, I think, at Humanitas, only we had to move from Rosenau, because of corruption, stupidity: I complained at the townhall about garbage, and found I was…sued

 

The case had no merit, obviously, but by the time it was thrown out of court, the decision to leave that god damn place (otherwise beautiful, they filmed Cold Mountain there) had been taken, anyway: Comedii is just what the title promises, a jesting take on various aspects, those who recite in a crazy way, even the…weather forecast

There was a trend here to make the weather program something of a comedy – Andrei Plesu is hilarious when he points out that you have no idea what to expect, looking at the dedicated segment, since they talk about almost anything, except the weather https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/06/apr-22-groundhog-day-written-by-danny.html

 

The criticism is poignant nevertheless, the philosopher is a magisterial essayist, a qualified critic, he highlights much of what was, and still is wrong in the life here, however, when I look at America, I think we have leaders that are much better that the idiot they have elected, the address he gave the other day appears to show that he will interfere in the elections, so that he wins, even if he loses https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/09/do-you-have-any-feedback.html

In The Fade aka Auf Dem Nichts, written by Hark Bohm and Fatih Akin

  In The Fade aka Auf Dem Nichts, written by Hark Bohm and Fatih Akin In The Fade has won the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Film, although in this cinephile's opinion, Una Mujer Fantastica- which has won the Oscar in the same category- Nelyubov or The Square would have been better choices. Having said that, Auf Dem Nichts is a very good, significant, remarkable feature, that attracts attention to violence against minorities, in this case the Kurdish community in Germany. It is therefore not one sided, we do not have only Muslim lunatics killing innocent "infidels", but also some extreme Europeans murdering the other side. The problem is that, unacceptable, horrifying and vile as these acts are, it appears that the overwhelming majority of atrocities are committed by zealots acting in the name of Islam- radical and unrepresentative as they are for this supposedly peaceful faith, although there are passages in its holy book that seem to insist on a violent jihad and ultimat...
