the movie's entitled dogma. yup i saw it. it starred ben affleck, matt damon, chris rock, salma hayek, alan rickman, jason lee and alanis morissette. dili man angel iya role adto. she actually played the role of God.



the movie's main message is that God has humor and that no matter what we do and no matter how frail we are as humans, we are still loved. God is not just one set image but encompasses any gender. there's much more to God than a simple religion. however if the viewer has an archaic point of view, i don't expect him/her to get the message at all. more often, the viewer is offended. if you check the official site of the movie ( www.dogma-movie.com ), you'll find out that they have a section for hate letters: letters and reactions from viewers who got angry and offended by the movie. :idea:

the song still was in the soundtrack which was also produced by alanis.

still
alanis morissette

I am the harm that you inflict
I am your brilliance and frustration
I'm the nuclear bombs if they're to hit
I am your immaturity and your indignance
I am your misfits and your praises
I am your doubt and your conviction
I am your charity and your rape
I am your grasping and expectation
I see you averting your glances
I see you cheering on the war
I see you ignoring your children

And I love you still
And I love you still

I am your joy and your regret
I am your fury and your elation
I am your yearning and your sweat
I am your faithless and your religion
I see you altering history
I see you abusing the land
I see you and your selective amnesia

And I love you still
And I love you still

I am your tragedy and your fortune
I am your crisis and delight
I am your profits and your prophets
I am your art I am your bytes
I am your death and your decisions
I am your passion and your plights
I am your sickness and convalescence
I am your weapons and your light
I see you holding your grudges
I see you gunning them down
I see you silencing your sisters

And I love you still
And I love you still

I see you lie to your country
I see you forcing them out
I see you blaming each other

And I love you still
And I love you still

nindot kaayo ni nga kanta! :P

KINDER LITTLE PILL: A gentler Alanis Morissette - in terms of sonic levels, at least - performs material from her best-selling album Jagged Little Pill June 7. The concert at the Hummingbird Centre was the first stop on the singer's North American acoustic tour.
Acoustic Alanis suffers live

VIT WAGNER
POP MUSIC CRITIC

Alanis Morissette chose to heed a little friendly advice in deciding to recast her mega-selling 1995 breakthrough, Jagged Little Pill, as an acoustic album. Maybe she should have sought similar counsel on the live show intended to promote it.

"For me it was about wanting to tip the hat to the record, because of it being the 10-year anniversary," said the rock singer during a phone interview this week.

"The initial thought was to reissue the record itself, as it was. But my friends jokingly said, `If anyone really wanted a copy of that record, they probably already have one.'"

The retooled version, a sequential recreation of the original that is entirely comprised of acoustic arrangements, will be retailed exclusively by coffee chain Starbucks starting Monday, followed by wider release on July 26. It is also the focal point of a North American tour that kicked off last night at a sold-out Hummingbird Centre.

"I'd done a lot of acoustic versions of these songs over the last 10 years," Morissette said in the interview. "So I'd say 80 per cent of the record was capturing that on tape."

It sounds fine in theory. And the more subdued studio tracks come off well as a maturing artist's reconsideration of her most famous music.

The same cannot be said for the live presentation of the music, however, if last night's near-horrendous kickoff is anything to go by. Morissette opened the show with a screeching, a cappella treatment of "Your House" that, contrary to anything resembling an acoustic performance, was miked to ear-piercing volume.

Some of this, no doubt, had to do with some needed technical tweaking. But the whole concept of the show was grievously overdone, from the video monitors located at the back and sides of the set to the calculated decision to save the album's signature track, "You Oughta Know," for an encore.

Morissette, joined by five accompanists, joked at one point that she felt exposed without any electric guitars to hide behind. That became less of a laughing matter as the evening wore on, with the singer's tortured intonations completely dominating the music being made behind her.

A handful of songs, including "Head Over Feet," "Mary Jane" and "Wake Up," survived the onslaught, but much of it was overwrought, lacking in warmth and, for an acoustic show, surprisingly unintelligible.

None of this was a deterrent to Morissette's infatuated fans, who offered repeated validation with shouts of "We love you, Alanis!"

But, then, Jagged Little Pill isn't just another album. It has moved 30 million copies, making it the second biggest selling disc by a female artist, behind Shania Twain's 1997 release Come On Over.

Artistically, it reinvented the Ottawa-bred Morissette, until then a teenage dance pop princess, as an angry young woman capable of giving as good as she got.

Marianne Faithfull and Liz Phair, two other singers capable of lashing out at former lovers, were there before her when it came to speaking graphically about romantic betrayal. But Morissette pushed feminine invective into the commercial mainstream and in the process spawned a generation of followers, including Avril Lavigne.

Morissette, who has softened her penchant for confessional songwriting over time, has moved on emotionally. Even so, she perceived some risk in bringing a kinder, gentler, gauzier focus to such signature screeds as "You Oughta Know" and "Right Through You."

"Thankfully, it wasn't the cringe festival that it could have been," she said of the recording process. "I could easily have realized that they were no longer applicable to the point where I couldn't sing them any longer as a 31-year-old. But thankfully, there's timelessness to them.

"A couple of the songs are what I call victim-consciousness songs. Very blaming oriented. And thankfully I've evolved to the point where I don't really see much value in staying in that blaming place. It's certainly fun for the first few minutes. But ultimately I'm taking a lot more personal responsibility in my life now."

Morissette defended the six-week exclusivity deal between her label, Maverick, and Starbucks, an arrangement that has irritated conventional music outlets.

"I'm sorry if it's being interpreted as a slap in the face," she said. "That is not my intention.

"The music industry has greatly changed over the last few years. It's really up to artists and record stores and creators or disseminators of art to come up with creative ways to share their music.

"The same thing happened when the Internet first came into play. There were a lot of people up in arms. But it's about evolution and the courage it takes to think outside of the box."

Morissette, a dual citizen who lives in Los Angeles and was inducted Sunday into Canada's Walk of Fame, isn't planning to stray too far from convention when she sings the U.S. anthem prior to the opening game of the National Basketball Association finals in San Antonio on Thursday.

"My spin, if there is a spin at all, won't go too far from the original version," she said. "It's very respectful."

Her live show could clearly stand a little more of that careful consideration.
