Fielding Pierce’s* beautiful chiseled face makes room for Irish eyes, traces of a blue collar background and a tranquility that should be beyond anyone. Out of those, what interests me suddenly is the tranquility, not the face (borrowed from an actor) and not any given circumstances but that brand of serenity that’s able to withstand even an outburst of anger, raised voice and all. That brand of serenity which will vie for control of a body and its soul and come out on top. There’s peace for a nucleus in him (or the appearance of it, for true peace can only be identified from within) and a bubble around it for protection. There is a soft spokenness to Fielding that the angles of his face strive to contradict.
That’s a quality shared by three other fictional characters I’ve revisited in memory recently: Gilbert Grape (What’s eating Gilbert Grape), Private Witt (The Thin Red Line) and John Halder (Good). Soft spokenness as the contour of a grappling with goodness.

I’m absolutely enchanted by the simplicity and beauty of this video.

Ferris Bueller had been insistently popping up in conversation for a week or so before the news broke, really out of nowhere… Robbie decided to show it to her class, and was shocked to learn that none of her students recognized the name Bueller. I mean… come ON! Just the first syllable conjures up the image of Ben Stein as the Economics teacher and his mind-numbing cadence. Bueller… Bueller… Bueller…
