(A 'comeback' with you dear Joda)
?What worries me immensely is that overall Albanian society has denigrated the artist's image, it seems like they don't need it anymore.
After the '90s, it looks like our product is no longer on the market. I know a lot of people who do television and other jobs, who live far better than the best of those who do art, and when I say art I mean the real art and not the show, the so-called art and artist. It hurts and it will demotivate not only generations of artists, but also parents who fund and support their children to become true professional artists, it will also demotivate their children to enter a desperate business, ?you said, Xhevdet Feri, in a recent interview of your life.
Not that you're not right ... you weren't right. It is true that all of us as a society have given a hand to the wicked, to oblivion, to vain in the futility of this time.
You are right that art today is not food for the soul, as you or your friends of your time were for an entire society. Today, art most of the time is the ugly business that most know beautiful and make 'like'. You must not strive to grasp the weight of your connection with this reality of vanity and vanity.
Now, let me tell you why you are wrong, very much wrong, when you say that after the 90s your product is no longer on the market. You, dear Jodha, beautiful as the few men on this side, your colleagues I hear in the background in "24" bring you to tears and a weak breath, words to you, you and all of them like Xhuvani , like Minarolli, who no longer live, those who live and are fellow travelers, you are the only one who has value in the market. I know why?
-You are the only ones for whom this society cries. Your films are our phrases, your films are the only value of Albanian cinema.
Your roles are the only Hollywood on this earth.
Who read like you? Who has had your modesty and grandeur, who has had fans like you?
You were Instagram before Instagram, freedom before freedom.
You don't know how the land holds people like your work, as it is dramatic, corrosive, how you keep the pain that some of you are fleeing taking away the torment that we forgot about you, that we betrayed you, and here you have the right to agree back with you.
One thing I know for sure, that we are still happy today, that we have to mourn.
