watching them live on Voyo for the 1st time, interesting to see the breaks without commercials, really, some candid scenes. Even saw Sean Penn smoking at the table !!! And monsieur Cannes, Thierry Fremaux, talking cordially to Guillermo Del Toro ! And later on to Sean Penn.
Venue: the Beverly Hilton Hotel
presenter: Nikki Glaser -her second year-decent jokes &, including Epstein list and a Spinal tap nod at the end of show.
Billy Wilder and Charles Brackett wrote it at the time of their legendary partnership. Ketti Frings wrote the novel on which story, the dynamic duo have much improved it. Boyer tries to make it his own, especially as a Foreigner with a lovely accent (his own, which he kept all his life !). For Romanians it's a blast, cos' he is a crook / gigolo from Bucharest named George(s) Iscovescu !!!
Studio man Mitchell Leisen directed it professionally. The year was 1941 and immigration was at its WW2 boom. Iscovescu wants to get in the USA and he needs a passport and a citizenship and in order to get those he needs to marry an American. The film premiered on September 11th 1941, just three months before Pearl Harbor !
The two women in the film are opposites, each with its role, Paulette Goddard as the femme fatalish Anita and Olivia de Havilland the innocent Ingenue Mrs. Brown.
Supporting characters, from Curt Bois as Bonbois, to Walter Abel's Inspector Hammock, Victor Francen as Vander Lucken and Nestor Faiva as hotellier Flores, the story is told in a flashback from the stage / set of a film at Paramount, on which Iscovescu/ Boyer went to see to director Dwight Saxon, played by none other than director Mitchell Leisen in order to see this story (maybe the most modern aspect of the film, predicting Sunset Boulevard ?) !!!
Very long for those day's standards (116 mins.) and heavilly plotted, it has a bleaker tone for a romantic melodrama and a downbeat immigration angle. And a small dose of film noir (esp. for the self-person narration). The dialogue is sharp and some witty and cynical one-liners are already trademark Wilder. Brackett and Wilder were very dissapointed with the result and Boyer's refusal do do a dialogue with a cockroach, they cut off most of his lines, giving them to Paulette Goddard. Also I read this was the last film Wilder wrote without directing it (even though Ball of Fire for Hawks opened in December 1941...).
Hold Back the Dawn was nominated for 6 Oscars back in 1941, including best film, best screenplay and best cinematography (in Black&White, Leo Tovar).
3 1/2 out of 5 ! 7 out of 10 !!! (loses steam due to the duration, otherwise would've been an Eight!)
I've seen I'm Still Here/ Ainda Estou Aqui in the cinema, now after the Oscar win. A well deserved award ! Have forgoten all about Walter Salles (his last film was in 2012, On the Road, saw that in Cannes then), and I got that this was a very personal project for him.
Ainda Estou Aqui was nominated for best picture and Fernanda Torres for best actress (she got the Golden Globe tho). "I'm Still Here" (not to be confused with the Joaquin Phoenix/Cassey Affleck mockumentary with the same name ;) won also best screenplay in last year's Venice Film Festival. It's a powerful film, about family and predestination, and surviving against all odds in adverse situation. It's also a true story that in Brazil it's well known and publicized, now up to be seen and heard by the whole world. These events that happened in all the other dictatorrships, being right or left wing, it's told through the eyes of Eunice Paiva (Torres), the wife of Rubens Paiva, arrested and vanished during the Brazilian dictatorship of 1970's. Mother of 4, later on a strong advocate for Human rights.
A bit overlong (2h17!-could've been at least 15 mins. shorter), but act 3 redeems the film and uppers its value. On imdb it went straight to "Top rated movie #133"! Ola for Brasil !
Stay for the end credits !
music by Warren Ellis (!), great soundtrack with Brazilian artists, Tom Ze, Caetano Veloso, etc.
It starts with Somewhere over the Rainbow, it goes into the Wicked
songs with the freakish Cynthia and Grande.
Conan O'Brian (hosting for the 1st time), is actually very good, natural with a good sense of
pacing. With a little help of Adam Sandler and John Lithgow. Then
surprise, he sings s a song, “I won't waste time”, featuring
dancers,
the sandworm from "Dune" on piano doing “chopsticks” and
Deadpool.
Robert Downey jr. presents supporting actor and the least
deserving guy gets it, Kieran, who is the same in life as in A Real
Pain, as in Succession, kinda same part. Nice speech tho, talking to
his wife.
He also looks like a young Kirk Douglas. Glowing eyes.
(commercial break #1)
Wow ! For Animation FLOW wins. Wonderful, Touching ! Lithuania
enters the Oscars. Great film, now in Romanian cinemas, go and see it
!!! Absolutely sensational, it beats Disney, Pixar and The Giant
Robot.
The short animated category I didn't follow. “In the Shadow of the Cypress” won. The two Iranian
directors are great ! They just landed in L.A. Three hours ago, they said.
(commercial break #2)
Costume design, no surprises there, Wicked, the first black person to win for costume design.
Another commercial break, # 3
Original script. Sean Baker wins his 1st Oscar for writing Anora. Adapted, Conclave. No surprises here.
Surely The Brutalist and The Substance and September 5 were better choices but I'm happy for Baker.
Commercial
break, # 4, man, there's more breaks than show...
June
Squibb and Scarlett Johansson present the makeup and hairstyling
award to The obvious The Substance.
Then
we get Halle Berry to let us know the Governer Ball's Awards (November 2024), from
Quincy Jones (posthumous) to the Bond producers of EON, Barbara Broccoli and
Michael G. Wilson (who gave a way bond to the sharks from Amazon :() -Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award.
and
then we get a 007 tribute clip followed by a dance extravaganza with
a superb Margaret Qualley (as I said before, on her way in becoming
a A-lister, after OUATiH, Poor Things, Kinds of Kindness, The Substance, Drive-Away Dolls), in a red dress, then we get renditions of Live
and Let Die with Lisa , Diamonds are Forever with Doja Cat, Skyfall
with Raye, all in good taste, channeling the originals.
Commercial break, # 5
Nice
joke of Cinemastreams, Conan featuring Marty Scorsese.
And a
anniversary of Kill Bill puts Daryl Hannah on stage. She looks great,
presents the award for best Editing. Again, Sean Baker rocks (2nd
award !), Anora for editing ! Deservingly.
Divine takes the stage for the supporting actress award presentation. Zoe Saldana wins. Emilia Perez was here, will she win for International film too ?
Commercial break, # 6
Ben Stiller on stage with a joke stolen from SNL Vincent Price skit (& Peter Sellers & more), present the Production Design Award. Wicked". May the Biggest budget film win. And a film about architecture, nem...
Then on the sound of Sympathy for the...who ?, Sir Mick Jagger shows up. Best Song award. Making Bob jokes. El Mal from Emilia Perez win. Sorry, I couldn't care less. The nominations this year for song were awful.
Commercial break, # 7
Conan does the second Dune Sandworm joke, playing harp ! Sam Jackson (L.) and Selena Gomez (M.) present short documentary film. The Only Girl in the Orchestra wins. Feature: No Other Land. Political moment speech.
Commercial break, # 8
Conan
& the L.A. Firemen Dpt. Firemen jokes.
Miles
Teller & Miley Cyrus (in Europe Kilometer & Kilometry).
Sound. Dune 2.
Gal
Gadot, herself a special FX, in a red dress present the Visual
Effects Award. Dune part 2 it is.
VO/announcer (in my heydays it was Peter Coyote ;) -Nick Offerman, who's voice is kinda off (booze?).
Commercial break, # 9
Ana de Armas and Sterling K. Brown present the last short award.
Morgan Freeman presents an homage to Gene Hackman. He played together in Unforgiven and Under Suspicion. That introduces the In Memoriam montage I had no clue Fred Roos and Adam Somner. died ..).
Commercial break, # 10
An actor presenter from each film nominated for Cinematography: Joe Alwyn for the Brutalist. Alba Rohrwacher salutes a Ed Lachman in a wheelchair for Maria. Willem Dafoe for Nosferatu, Zoe Saldana for Emilia Perez, Dave Bautista for Dune part 2. Lol Crawley wins for The Brutalist. Fair enuff.
Penelope Cruz presents for Best International Film. I'm Still Here/ Ainda Estou Aqui wins (Walter Salles, Brazil). Another big loss for EP, due to bad PR mostly.
Commercial break, # 10
Conan makes another Russian Joke via Anora. Mark Hamill (!!!) presents the award for best Original SCORE. Daniel Blumberg for The Brutalist. Well deserved for a Grand, epic score !
Whoopy and Oprah introduce a Quincy Jones musical tribute. Queen Latifah sings a song from The Wiz.
Commercial break, # 11
Conan: "If you still enjoying this show you have what it's called Stockholm Syndrome".
Cillian Murphy takes the stage for best actor award. He won last year for Oppenheimer. And...Adrian Brody wins his 2nd Oscar (22 years after 2003's The Pianist) for the part of architect László Tóth in The Brutalist !!! The most touching moment of the evening. Brody is entering a cool restricted club. Egészségedre !
Enter QT, Quentin iz in ze house ! Best director -ta-dam, Sean Baker for Anora ! His 3d Oscar, suddenly a small struggling indie director becomes a Monster Superstar in the biz. Phones will be ringing, snakes will be crawling, emails will be flowing, agents will be waltzing around & mirages will be presented to him but I have the feeling he won't sell out. Kudos !
Commercial break, # 12
Emma Stone (who won last year for Poor Things) presents Best Actress award. Aaaand surprise, Mikey Madison (Sadie in OUaTiH) wins !!! Anora's fourth Oscar ! Mikey is 25 !
Meg Ryan & Billy Crystal present Best Film. And Anora wins !!! Five Oscars out of Six ! Sean Baker is also co-producer so he gets his fifth award. Bravo !
And they even finished earlier this year ! Sorry for Demi, that was this edition surprise for me. 62 vs. 25. Baby Jane or All About Eve ? Again the SAG proof that no one guesses is perfect. The acting awards were again different from those of the guild. All in all it was a calm and cool edition with the most indie films in an Oscar race, two foreign directors, and wins for Anora 5, Brutalist 3.
The Producers Guild of America named Anora the best picture of the year at the 2025 PGA Awards. The surprise win came just an hour after director Sean Baker took home the DGA’s top prize — establishing the Neon film as the official Oscars frontrunner for Best Picture. Anora also won Best Picture at last night’s Critics Choice Awards.
"The American myth is something that is not frequently undressed, especially in this 'coming to America' fable that we have seen rehashed again and again"
Brady Corbet
(best director Venice Film Festival 2024 for The Brutalist)
film nominated for 10 Oscars
Vulture: The Brutalist spans 33 years on screen and over three and a half hours of runtime, including a 15-minute intermission at its midpoint. It’s the first film in decades 9NN 61 years to be precise!) to be fully shot in VistaVision, and at the Venice Film Festival, where it had its premiere, it was projected on 70mm.
a great talk between Brady Corbet and Sean Baker (Anora), about cinema, budgets, choices, passion and compromises.
The Brutalist just won 4 BAFTA awards, best director, best actor, best cinematography and best score (Daniel Blumberg), which I think deserve also the Oscar for that category.
I have seen now The Brutalist (wow!) and A Complete Unknown (bof...),
those films I wrote about will have links on their titles, very happy for Jeremy Strong and Sebastian Stan for The Apprentice !!! And for the 5 nominations for The Substance ! Even tho Emilia Perez will win big ( incl. best foreign film, UPDATE , that was then, after that EP fell bigtime off the US charts), I stand by Demi Moore ! And may Flow go home to Latvia with the best animation award ! Anora rocks too !!!
Happy for Godzilla Minus One because they had the best mangled speech ever ! Domo Arrigato Mr. Roboto ;) Haven't seen yet the flick ! would've loved to see it screened here (in Ro.)
Happy to see Navalny (well, now that he is is dead ;((((, they put on the beginning of the doc that is on HBO Max... which I 've seen just nights ago...) and Slava Ukraina for 20 Days in Mariupol ! I wondered if they'd cut the cable in Russia...
Robert Downey Jr was (and is) a very happy camper ! Not only a happy camper ! The most happier campiest camper ! I thought he would win for Chaplin in 1992 (Oscars 1993) !!! He thought that too ! He was young and arrogant ! And he needs this now ! Check. Not that Mark Ruffalo's career best in Poor Things wouldn't beat mr. Levi Strauss !!! He actually couldn't caare less ;)
Jimmy Kimmel did a decent performance, not very risque, not very Hu Ha, but safe (almost)
Ahnuld (mr Freeze) & Danny de Vito (penguin) were the best presenters IMO, funny how they threatened The Batman Birdman (Michael Keaton in the front row).
even though you had Al Pacino on the stage, but not much Hu Ha (Best film presenter)
”How
can I save my little boy from Oppenheimer's deadly
toy?”
Sting
-Russians (1985)
Din aceste
versuri a auzit englezul Christopher Nolan la 15 ani despre un anume
Oppenheimer și jucăria lui mortală. Piesa de pe albumul de debut
al lui Sting, cu acorduri din Stravinski. Ceea ce ne leagă cumva
pentru că și eu am auzit tot de acolo de el și la vremea lui mi-a
plăcut imens piesa. Era în plin război rece iar noi eram după
Cortina cea mai de fier.
Azi Chris
Nolan este unul din cei mai titrați regizori din lume, cu succese în
filme și genuri diferite, cu teme însă extrem de similare- memoria
falsă-Memento, reinventarea unui mit din romanele grafice cult:
trilogia Batman, teleportare -The Prestige, realitatea
visului-Inception, paradoxul temporal-Interstellar, război pe trei
planuri paralele-Dunkirk, inversie temporală-Tenet) și acum a
devenit autorul unui biopic mult aștepata despre fizicianul american
J. Robert Oppenheimer, creatorul bombei atomice. Oppenheimer este de
departe cel mai ambițios film al anului. Și de aproape poate cel
mai important film al lui Nolan. Și e un film foarte necesar pentru
ziua de azi. Cillian Murphy în rolul titular, rolul vieții.
Distribuție de ansamblu de vis. Durată epică, 3 ore pe ceas.
Succes financiar și de critică-uriaș. Zvon de Oscar, sunt sigur că
va fi considerat ”cel mai bun film” la Oscar anul viitor. Plus
multe alte acolade.
*
Sper ca Greta
Gerwig, prima femeie care a regizat un film care a depăsit plafonul
de 100 de miliarde de $ încasări mondiale -anume Barbie) să nu îl
prade însă pe Nolan de Oscar. În orice caz istoriei nu îi va
păsa.
După
cum a spus-o Paul Schrader, unul din marii scenariști și regizori
din Noul Cinema American (de la Taxi Driver la Master Gardner),
”Oppenheimer este cel mai bun și mai important film al acestui
secol”. De ce a considerat Scharder asta? Are legatură cu bomba
atomică și cu proiectul Manhattan, sau doar pentru faptul că un
asemenea ”film biografic” despre un subiect greu-fizicieni
atomici, McCharthysm, moralitate, resposabilitate și povara
istoriei, nu a mai fost făcut și pare ireal că e produs azi de un
mare studio american. Oppenheimer face rapel în temă și subiect la
un mare film clasic, Amadeus (1984, Milos Forman), referitor la
relația fizicianului cu politicanul
Lewis Strauss (un Robert Downey Jr. și el
în rolul vieții), gîlceava
între geniu și mediocritate. O poveste tristă care pare
incredibilă, și ea este baza structurii filmului lui Nolan, văzut
dintr-un unghi subiectiv de către personajul central și în lungi
secvențe alb-negru de către nemesisul său. Poate și de aici acest
uriaș interes mondial față de film, subiect și universul
prezentat.
Re: sunet și
imagine-vă sfătuiesc să mergeți la IMAX la București dacă
sunteți prin zonă, a fost filmat cu camere IMAX 70 mm. Iar
referitor la muzică și sunet, la plîngerea multora că sunt prea
bombastice, aceasta a fost și intenția.
Sunt
uimit de câtă lume l-a văzut, dar sunt și mai uimit de cîtă
lume nu l-a văzut încă. Mai veți timp în cinema. Mai rulează, datorită succesului de public uluitor (în România l-au văzut peste 470 de mii de oameni). O
lună jumătate și 865 de
milioane de dolari mai târziu
(filmul a costat 100 de milioane de dolari
plus tot pe atâta investiție în marketing și distribuție), bomba
cinematografică, estetică (și filosofică) a lui Nolan continuă
să explodeze peste tot în lume.
In
1965, twenty years after the dropping of the bombs, Oppenehimer did
an interview for The Decision to Drop the Bomb.
Speaking with NBC News, he delivered his famous lines: We
knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed. A few
people cried. Most people were silent. I remembered the line from the
Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita. Vishnu is
trying to persuade the prince that he should do his duty, and, to
impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, “Now, I am
become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds.” I supposed we all thought
that, one way or another.
Here's not who should win, anything from TheBanshees of Inisherin (my faved, see here my top films of 2022) to Elvis (both with 9 nods), not the puzzling
Everything Everywhere All At Once (EEAAO), a very OK film but not so overhyped- 11 nominations??? !!!
And
it will win at least 6 awards for sure...(in th end it won Seven!!!)
of course there can be surprises, as this is the Oscars, and there always are, I hope to be wrong ;)
Now this year I opened a VOYO account to watch live as they announced they will show them in original and dubbed separately. We'll see how this works...AND how did it work was it didn't. The show started at 2 am Ro time and half an hour later their broadcast didn't start. So I closed the account, shameful...luckily I got a link from a friend who faithfully watches them live, Thanks BM :)
SUPPORTING ACTOR: Ke Huy
Huan-Everything Everywhere All At Once
SUPPORTING ACTRESS: Jamie Lee Curtis
-EEAAO
ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY: Martin
McDonagh-The Banshees of Inisherin should've won but Everything
Everywhere All At Once won WGA so it's EEAAO
ADAPTED SCREENPLAY: Women Talking -Sarah Polley (also won WGA)
CINEMATOGRAPHY: Mandy Walker -Elvis (will be the 1st woman DOP winning for a feature film!!!), also won ASC award. (N.A. they gave it to newcomer James Friend for All Quiet...like there was something new that escaped (sir) Roger Deakins when he did 1917 and won his 2nd Oscar there)
EDITING: Elvis, and well Elvis has left the building...EEAAO won this one too...
PRODUCTION DESIGN: Elvis (N.A. All Quiet on the Western Front won)
COSTUME DESIGN: Elvis (Babylon should've won) and it went to Wakanda Forever...
So Black Panther was worthy for the second time???? Same costumes, same designer, another blank they pulled...
SOUND: Elvis vs. Top Gun: Maverick, and Top Gun it is!!!
VISUAL EFFECTS: Top Gun: Maverick (c'mon, wasn't an Avatar enough? can't believe they went with it...)
MAKEUP AND HAIRSTYLING: The Whale
ORIGINAL SCORE: Carter Burwell
-Banshees-could win, Justin Hurwitz -Babylon should win'
and ze Germans won...Volker Bertelman for All Quiet on the Western Front (really? :(, and you had John Williams there at 90 years of age and 53 nominations...
ORIGINAL SONG: they all spoke of “Naatu Naatu” from RRR (which is on Netflix btw), seconded by Rihanna with “Lift Me Up”from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
RRR makes history as the first Bollywood song to win!!! Namaste!!!
DOCUMENTARY: Navalny
ANIMATION: Guillermo del Toro's
Pinocchio
FOREIGN (INTERNATIONAL) FILM: All Quiet on the Western Front
--------------------------------------------------------Im Westen nichts Neues----------------------------------------
HOST: Jimmy Kimmel (third time's a charm!)
nice entry on a par with Daniel Craig's London Olympics ;)
here's his entrance and opening monologue (see how long it stays on you tube...that Robert Blake joke was mean...:()
Hollywood, Cal. The year is 1926, the world was cool and the movies were silent...well, they also shot Horses, didn't they? ;)
Welcome to Babylon, a film abut excess, ambition, dreams and nightmares together, the fourth feature of Damian Chazelle (now 38) after the succeses of Whiplash, La La Land and (so/so) First Man.
A self-indulgent epic especially in the end montage of 'joie du cinema', which I could've done without (and most of us think about the same!!!), 3 hours long (and 9 minutes) but for me could've been longer ;).
It's also rough and vulgar and decadent and loud, just like those times were supposed to be. Or so thinks Chazelle. Here's an interview with him explaining the sources and history of Babylon.
Brad Pitt is silent movie star, Jack Conrad, modelled especially after John Gilbert...He's mostly Brad Pitt and that suffices plenty.
Margot Robbie is the 'It' girl, Nellie LaRoy, made upon Clara Bow. She also has a scene that's sooo reminiscent of her playing Sharon Tate in Once Upon a Time in...Hollywood.. She's gorgeous and uber sexy, but she's kinda too modern and too sexy...
The Mexican dude, Manny Torres (Diego Calva), I guess it's a composite.
The afro-american trumpet player Sidney Palmer (Jovan Adepo) too. These may seem like 'Woke' characters, but actually they were there then.
Lady Fay Zhu (Li Jun Li) is inspired by Anna Mae Wong, the first Asian star of Hollywood (she later went to Europe).
The film makes the transition from the silent age to the talkies, borrowing plenty from 1952's Gene Kelly/Stanley Donen masterwork, Singin' in the Rain.
Other inspirations: the infamous classic book Hollywood Babylon by Kenneth Anger, Peter Bogdanovich's Nickelodeon, John Schlesinger's Day of the Locust (two Paramount productions as this one is, even starting with the old black and white logo, but using Kinescope as a substitute of the studio).
There's a comparison of Hollywood with a jungle, an Animal Kingdom, from the elephant at the beginning to a lizard, a rattlesnake, an alligator. Where's the Monkey? Well, plenty on the screen, from the extras to the actors themselves.
There's cameos of the era VIP's, from Irving Thalberg (Max Minghella) To Marion Davies and WR Hearst, to even Patty Arbuckle. I guess the German director should be Erich Von Stroheim. Also nice to see Eric Roberts in an A picture again, he plays Margot's father, Robert Roy.
*****
If I would've seen the film in 2022 (it opened for Xmas in the US but only beg. Jan. WW) it would've made made my Top Movies of the year list, even flawed as it is...It got mixed reviews, loved the SF Gate calling it 'the worst movie of the year' and quote:
Got 5 noms and a Golden Globe for best music (Justin Horwitz, Chazelle's collaborator on all his fares) and only 3 Oscar nominations tho (music, which might win, set design and costumes). More generous with the Brits at BAFTA -8 noms (including cinematography and editing, which I think were shunned :(). Horwitz's score has some cues from La La Land, mixed with Fellini's Nino Rota circus music and Mussorgsky's Night on a Bald Mountain. And a song about a certain pussy...
3 1/2 out of 5 - 7 out of 10
“Careers come and go, and movie stars come and go. That, on some level, is very scary, and it can even be depressing. But on another level, and hopefully this is where Manny kind of reaches a place of peace at the end, it's comforting, because you can’t help but be aware of how much bigger it is than you, and how you’re a part of something bigger. Just to be a small part of that is, in its own way, really special and eternal.”
But this,the Banshees is his best film until now, his most literary (the man is a great playwright as well, see “The Lieutenant of Inishmore,”a play from 2001), about ordinary Irish people on a small island, during the Irish Civil war, in 1923. It's about friendship, it's about denial, depression, love, booze and ultimately death. I love McDonaugh's fascination with pets (cats, dogs or donekys), and their role in men's inner secret affections.
Colin Farrell (named best actor at Venice Film festival, and up to an Oscar imo) and Brendan Gleeson have been up together on the big screen for McDonagh in his most impressive and personal debut, In Bruges (2008). Farell was also the lead in his LA fare, Seven Psychopaths (2012). But now they do a tour-de-force that reminded me of Waiting for Godot or Guinness drinkers Rosenkrantz and Guilderstern are Dead. I think these two plays could be good companions to The Banshees.
Superbe supporting cast-Kerry Condon as Farrell's sister Siobhan and Barry Keoghan as the dom Dominic.
Absolute gorgeous music by Carter Burwell, McDonagh collaborator on all his four gigs. Burwell,Coen's fidelius musician and musicist is worth an Oscar (twice nominated, maybe third time's a charm;)
The Power of The Dog conduce cu 12 nominalizari. Campion o sa ia. Cumberbatch nu se stie ca e Will Smith cu King Richard. Dune are 10 nominalizari. O sa ia Hans Zimmer ? The Lost Daughter-ar merita Olivia Colman inca un Oscar, poate ia Jessie Buckley...Dan Lautsen la imagine pentru Nightmare Alley? Noul Macbeth? c'mon....Drive My Car la film strain. Sper ca la piesa anului sa ia Billie Ellish pentru No Time To Die.
