What a beautiful word! I&#8217;ve been watching Man Ray&#8217;s films lately. Among them, one with a starfish called \u2018L&#8217;\u00e9toile de mer\u2019, (\u2018The Starfish\u2019) from 1928.

Then I watched the movie \u2018Chinatown\u2019, and there the character, the one who is later murdered, goes to the ocean shore and picks up a starfish just like that. And now I&#8217;m looking on the internet to see if anyone has written on this topic already. Is it important for the interpretation of the film, the character\u2026. I think it&#8217;s important. He looks at the ocean with the starfish in his hand. Somehow I&#8217;m moved by that. I also read that the starfish symbolises infinite divine love, not of this world. But also intuition, alertness, brilliance. Does he know what is going to happen?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/martajanik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/chinatown-1024x678.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5194\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/martajanik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/chinatown-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/martajanik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/chinatown-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/martajanik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/chinatown-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/martajanik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/chinatown-1006x666.jpg 1006w, https:\/\/martajanik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/chinatown-600x397.jpg 600w, https:\/\/martajanik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/chinatown.jpg 1226w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">kadry z filmu Romana Pola\u0144skiego &#8220;Chinatown&#8221;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"464\" src=\"https:\/\/martajanik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/chinatown-2-1024x464.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5199\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/martajanik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/chinatown-2-1024x464.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/martajanik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/chinatown-2-300x136.jpg 300w, https:\/\/martajanik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/chinatown-2-768x348.jpg 768w, https:\/\/martajanik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/chinatown-2-1536x696.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/martajanik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/chinatown-2-1280x580.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/martajanik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/chinatown-2-1072x486.jpg 1072w, https:\/\/martajanik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/chinatown-2-600x272.jpg 600w, https:\/\/martajanik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/chinatown-2.jpg 1790w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So I made a collage with a monkey and a starfish.
