누구를 위하여 종을 울리나

'누구를 위하여 종은 울리나'는 제가본 영화중에서 선호하는 영화중의
하나이며 아마도 제일 감격적으로본 영화라고 생각합니다.

고등학교때로 기억되는데 종로통 '우미관'?에서 이 영화를 보고 너무
감격한 남어지 몰래 남아있다 다시한번 본 유일한 영화이기도합니다.

청순하면서도 강렬한 버그만의 눈빛이 당시 10대소년에게 강렬한 인상을
준것 같습니다. 집에돌아와서 버그만과 Gary Cooper의 대사를 다시
재현하다가 누나한테 핀잔맞은 기억도 나고요. 내주셔서 감사합니다. 규정

그의 허연 턱수염만 봐도 반갑습니다.미국에 꼭 가보고싶은 곳이 헤밍웨이가 살던 곳.
마셔보고 싶은 술은 그가 마셨다던 데킬라.이젠 딸도 귀국하여 갈 일도 없어졌지만. 

자기가 쓴 책속의 주인공같이 잘 생기고 대단한 macho,
열정의 작가, 정력적인 삶을 살은 사람이 어째서
62세라는 젊은(?) 나이에 스스로 목숨을 끊었는지...
"Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know"라고
했으니 행동과는 달리 Pessimist였는지, 비행기 추락사고로 다친 후
불편한 몸으로 depression에 빠졌던 탓인지...
오랫만에 옛날에 읽었던 책과 감명깊었던 영화를 회상합니다.
초미님, 수고에 감사드립니다.

황박사님
저는 소년이아닌 소녀이였는데도
버그만의 눈밫을 잊을수가 없습니다. 

김선생님,
그림의 떡이지만 Tequilla 를 올립니다.
enjoy!

Tequila, made from the fermented juice of the  agave plant, is the national drink of Mexico.
It is double distilled and then aged in wood casks.
Just like a fine cognac tequila gets better with aging.

승자선배님,

우연히 어디서 Ernest Hemingway 의 생일이 7월21일라고 알게되여
옛날에 읽었던 책들 보았던 영화들이 생각이나서( 일종의 향수라고 할까요?) 
 webpage를 만들어 보았습니다.
21일에 올릴려고 했는데, 가는날이 장날이라고 
어제는 너무 바쁜날이 되여서 오늘 올리게 되였습니다. 
 

 

I remember the movie and the novel _
the face, the eyes, the war and love.

Thanks for the presentation,
Chomee-nim.

I have been always grateful (and also hateful) to Ernest Hemingway.
Right or wrong, it seemed like he had shown me the beginner's manual of "How to live life".

As you may all know, Hemingway's heroes have a special character in common.
I am not going to say what it is but I have a good concept of it. You know it well too.
Beginning from the "Old Man and The Sea" (published in 1952, and Nobel Prize in 1954),
I was only 14 years old when I read the Korean version of the story
and I had understood the actions and consequences, the realities and vanities of life
that Hemingway was telling me.
After that, I had read all his stories and they had been profoundly influential to me.

For an example,
A leopard dead, in the Snows of Kilimanjaro....
Have I understood and eventually explained it to myself ?

Kilimanjaro is a snow covered mountain 19,710 feet high,
and it is said to be the highest mountain in Africa.
Its western summit is called the Masai “Nghe Nghe”, the House of God.
Close to the western summit there is the dried and frozen carcass of a leopard.
No one has explained what the leopard was seeking at that altitude.
(Hemingway, Kilimanjaro)

Or have you ??

The above phrase represents one of the deepest enigmas of life.
I had kept this phrase in my mind for so long since I was a boy, and just because of it,
I found myself at the summit of Kilimanjaro in December 27, 1988.
How powerful was that?
That was "the Hemingway" to me.

초미 님, Thanks for reminding me of his power.
He took the easy way out, but I took the hard way with me and still going on and on...
Unfair ?? No, not at all, that's fine with me. Ha, ha, ha.

 운영자님,
Ernest Hemingway가 운영자님의 소년시절부터 powerful한 인생의 지침판이 되셨군요.
저도 high school 2학년때에 " The Old and The Sea"(한글판) 를 읽었는데,
처음에는 이해하기가 힘들어서 두번을 읽었습니다.

Ernest Hemingway의 생일을 안순간 그냥 지나칠수가 없을정도로
Hemingway작품들이 저희들의 젊은날에 깊은 인상을 남겼나봅니다.

운영자님, Thank you for your comment.

Ernest Hemingway: Nobel Prize & Suicide (partial quote from http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net) ...Hemingway's depression, which had plagued him at times throughout his life, worsened in his later years. By the time he and Mary moved to Ketchum, Idaho, in 1960, Hemingway was receiving shock treatments for depression that made him lose his memory. The loss of his memory, the store of details and experience upon which his writing was based, was more than he could take. The man who valued striving and surviving above all else could no longer carry on the fight. A first, unsuccessful suicide attempt occurred in spring 1961. Then on 2 July 1961, just a few weeks before his 62nd birthday, Ernest Hemingway positioned himself in the foyer of his Ketchum home and shot himself in the head with a double-barreled shotgun. He was buried in Ketchum. His epitaph was a poem he wrote for a friend years earlier: Best of all he loved the fall The leaves yellow on the cottonwoods Leaves floating on the trout streams And above the hills The high blue windless skies Now he will be a part of them forever.

Hemingway was an avid outdoors-man all his life.
As written in his epitaph (he wrote it himself as a poem), he longed to be a part of it forever.
Even though it was written for one of his friends,
one can tell that he realized his life was coming to the end of the season (the fall),
his leaves turning yellow, and falling helplessly on the streams.

When I was reading his short story of "The Snows of Kilimanjaro",
in the last section of the story, I found the same basis for his suicide.
I had realized it and said to myself,
"This is why he did what he did. He couldn't take the defeat as the final answer to his life.
He had to take care of it by himself, and thus, he could remain as one of his heroes in his stories."

Ernest and Mary Hemingway are buried
in the town cemetery in Ketchum, Idaho

During his final years, Hemingway's behavior was similar to his father's before he himself committed suicide,
his father may have had the genetic disease hemochromatosis, in which the inability to metabolize iron
culminates in mental and physical deterioration. Medical records made available in 1991 confirm that
Hemingway's hemochromatosis had been diagnosed in early 1961.
His sister Ursula and his brother Leicester also committed suicide.
이런 medical problem 때문인지 모르나  his final years에 heavy drinker 였다고 합니다.
(Wikipedia중에서 )

Stories about Hemingway are getting more and more interesting.
I might visit Key West instead of Orlando, if I go to Florida for my
Winter Golf. I might be able to breathe the air he breathed.

I join others in thanking Chomee for putting this story on our page.
Hemingway's father was a physician who had a summer house in Petoskey area, Northern
Michigan, and he would come there with father by ferry boat from Chicago every summer.
Soon they moved to Petoskey, Michigan, where he grew up until he wa 19 and joined army.
When he was 18, he wanted to join the army but rejected because his one eye was damaged
from the injury he received from boxing lessons he took at age 14.
 So at age 19 he volunteered to join the volunteer ambulance unit of Italian Army under the auspices of the American Red Cross.
He found his first love there and wrote hundreds of
letters to her while in the army. he proposed to her to get married, but the lady
refused because she didn't think that he would be a good husband and a family man.
This lady llived to be an old lady and died not too long ago.
I read the story she told the press when she was interviewed some 10 years ago.
"In Sept. of 1921, at age 22, Hemingway returned to Michigan for his last long visit.
On Sept 3, 1921, he married Hadley Richardson.
The couple moved to Chicago, then to Toronto, and finally to Paris.
Many of the more important events of hemingway's formative years occurred in Michigan,
where he learned to fish, hunt, drink, know girls, and even to concentrate seriously on his
writing." (from the book, " Hemingway in Michigan" by Dr. Constance Cappel, 1966

Petoskey has had an active Hemingway Society to this day and Central University of Michigan
has a Hemingway Library where one of early Cardiologists, Dr. Clarke, who collected
everything there is to know about Hemingway, donated his life-time collections to.
This Dr. Clarke's two sons who are also internists I have known for many years, although
they passed away last year. One of them became my patient until he died and told me
things about Hemingway I didn't know.
Sukjoo and I have been going up to Petoskey, Harbor Springs area for years, and
we have a small collection of Hemingway books, some of them were written when he
was in senior highschool there.
His family was plagued by mental depression and mental illnesses.
Multiple members, including his father and others suffered from it.
Ernest, I believe, had a pretty good idea about this familial, genetic disorder.
Although I meant to read the collection of his books, including some that are not well-known,
I must admit that somehow his books and novels have not appealed to me for a number of
years. As a consequence, they've been gathering dusts in my library.
Without a doubt, his works appealed to young people, including me in my youth,
yet for me to re-read Hemingway at my age, surely I'm afraid, would make my depressive
mood more aggravated.
I suppose all of us may find some enjoyment in reminiscing his stories and books.

그의 손녀 딸의 내력:  Margot Louise Hemingway

Early life

Margot Louise Hemingway was born in Portland, Oregon, and was the older sister of actress Mariel Hemingway and the
granddaughter of writer Ernest Hemingway. When she learned that she was named for the wine, Château Margaux,
which her parents, Puck and Jack Hemingway (eldest son of Ernest), were drinking the night she was conceived,
she changed the original spelling from 'Margot' to 'Margaux' to match.[2]

In addition to Mariel, she had another sister,
Joan. She grew up in Idaho on her grandfather's farm in Ketchum. She struggled with a variety of disorders in addition
to alcoholism, including bulimia and epilepsy. She allowed a video recording to be made of a therapy session related to
her bulimia and it was broadcast on television. Hemingway also suffered from dyslexia.[3][4]

Death

On July 1, 1996, one day before the anniversary of her grandfather's own suicide, Hemingway was found dead in her
 studio apartment in Santa Monica, at age 42.
She had taken an overdose of phenobarbital, according to the Los Angeles County coroner's findings one month later.
[13] Though her death was ruled a suicide, family members disputed this
finding.[6] Steve Crisman, Mariel Hemingway's then-husband in 1996, told People magazine that year,
"This was the best I'd seen her in years. She had gotten herself back together."[14]
On a December 22, 2005, edition of Larry King Live,
however, Mariel said she now accepts the fact that Margaux committed suicide.[15]

Her remains were cremated and buried in the Hemingway family plot in the Ketchum Cemetery in Idaho.
