Myrin

The film referred to in the title was called "Jar City" in its release in the USA. I use it as a device to understand the story of redemption. It is one of those items I immerse myself in over and over again. I heard Clarence Thomas speak on the radio today, and to myself I muttered, "Runar... that piece of filth!"
Mr. Thomas has incorporated himself into the image of Runar Gislason, instigator of a long line of bad karma in "Jar City". However, it is not the past that influences my casting of Clarence as Runar; it is the future that does.
