La vita e Bellaby *LiiQa

Photography / Still Life / Other

_{La Vita è Bella

lyrics from here -> [link]
------------
You can’t quit until you try
You can’t live until you die
You can’t learn to tell the truth
Until you learn to lie
You can’t breathe until you choke
You gotta laugh when you’re the joke
There’s nothing like a funeral to make you feel alive
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful.

------------
Ladybug is alive and broken wing is fake

Critique by *AnaBeee Sep 13, 2009, 1:30:07 AM

This caught my eye on the front page, for the simple reason that the ladybird contrasts so starkly against the brown paper background, it is sharp and bright. The Lyrics of the song are so beautiful and so true! After reading them through it made me think completely differently about the whole composition of this image. However, what I really adore about this piece is the fact that the little bug looks like it is mourning the loss of either a friend, or its own ability to fly. The colours are warm and enticing, complementing your subject, and the fact that the little beetle is off center, and so not necessarily in the focus of the eye pulls you in and makes you think: 'Life is beautiful... how can it be?'. To me, the moral of this piece is that you have to believe, that everyone has to go through the bad things in life to truly appreciate the good things that happen... like losing a wing.

First the colors caught my eye, then read the text and loved it, discovered they were the lyrics of a song which I'm listening to right now and I can only say, I found a great piece of work and an amazing song, life is beautiful indeed.

i know some things that you don't
i've done things that you won't
there's nothing like a trail of blood
to find your way back home

I liked that film so much (and I'm Italian, i saw the movie in its original language) i was little (comething like 11 years old) and i cried a lot in the end. I think that these words are true and sometimes we have to be positive and read something like that to go on.
