11h35, on a cold Sunday night in small town Belleville. Everyone’s out, I am alone in the Rez. And still trembling. I just finished to watch War photographer, a reportage on James Nachtwey. I’m trying real hard to find words to describe the images I just see. Not only the movie is incredibly well done, but all the terrifying scenes of war, destruction, poverty, suffering, and starvation leave me with a bitter taste of the human kind. I would really like to hug someone right now. |
23h35, lors d'une froide nuit dans la petite ville de Belleville. Tout le monde est parti, je suis seul dans la résidence. Et je tremble encore. Je viens tout juste de terminer le visionnement de War photographer, un reportage sur James Nachtew. J'essaie désespérément de trouver des mots pour décrire les images qui ont défilé sous mes yeux. Non seulement le film est incroyablement bien fait, mais les scènes terrifiantes de guerre, de destruction, de pauvreté, de souffrance et de famine me laissent un goût amer sur le genre humain. J'aurais vraiment besoin de prendre quelqu'un dans mes bras en ce moment ( to hug someone) |
Extract / Extrait
In the field, what you experience is extremely immediate. What you see is not an image on a page in a magazine then of thousand miles away with an advertisement for Rolex watch on the next page. What you see is unmedicated pain, injustice and misery. It occurred to me that if everyone could be there just once to see for themselves what [can’t understand the word] can do to the face of a child, what unspeakable pain cause by the impact of a single bullet or how a single piece of shrapnel can rips someone leg off. If everyone could be there to see for themselves the fear and the [??] just one time, then they would understand that nothing worth letting things go to the point that it happens to one person, let alone thousands.
Everyone cannot be there. And this is why war photographers go there. To show them. To grab them and make them stop what they are doing and pay attention to what is going on. To create picture powerful enough (…) to shake people out of their indifference. To protest. And by the strength of that protest, to make other protest.
