I seriously, seriously, seriously love movie-watching.


Just finished Love Letter, a classic Japanese love story and Stand By Me.

Both movies were pretty dated, but really, really, really nice.





Regarding Love Letter:



我覺得那種很純粹,很簡單的感覺比玫瑰花還要浪漫,
比婚紗還要唯美,比戒指還要永久.

會讓我覺得, 愛情不是吃飯,一直品嘗新的口味,高興就換,一下子就吃完.

而是牽手.兩個人緊握的手.不管世界多麼吵雜,身邊存在多少誘惑;一直緊握,直到生命的盡頭.



我寧願相信,每個人的心眼都很小.


只容得下一個人而已.

只是偶爾會放棄等待,放棄幸福.

只為了消磨寂寞而選擇了速食.





一生的時間那麼長,

足夠我們學著遺忘.


一生的時間那麼短,一眼一瞬,一瞬就可以讓人看到永遠.
S.H.E 都唱過了,一眼萬年.

我覺得真正的愛情就是要古典,怎樣怎樣???




I think that death is such a tragedically beautiful thing.

Especially when you die at your prime. Like, you were remembered for your best, at your best. And yeahhh people forget about you. Those who don't simply feels lost and confused, disorientated.
And that's how a soft-spoken woman could address a letter to an old address of her dead finance, simply asking: How are you? I'm fine.


Jeseus,

that was totally sway man!


And then Stand By Me was a movie about friendship.

HMMMMM, I liked River Phoenix the moment he came on screen.





Somehow he reminded me that D guy in oh man, that Literature book we read with Nothing Gold Can Stay.

I don't know,

I just always feel really sad, like sad from within, when I come across these people in books or movies or whateverrr.

Hardened to the point of no return,

like they'd be the last person you expect to give a shit about anything, they friggin don't care about the rest of the world. And blah blah,,,but everytime I see them, I figure they're just a miserable kid inside, acting tough, trying to be tough, because that's the only way they could understand and survive this world, this life.

It's a really nice film!

Both movies had really nice endings...

I love those movies which don't go bawling outwardly,

but just narrates soothingly, reminiscing slowly, letting bits and pieces slowly fall into place... And then at the end, at that one juncture, in one moment, instantaneously, drown you in some sort of overwhelming sadness, that makes you cry, silently.

I always thought that the saddest 'cries' of all,

if there ever was,

was crying without sound.

And the only one thing that can be sadder than this,

is not even crying.

Stonewalled.

RIVER PHOENIX,

he's the man man.

Died from heroin overdose.

WELL.

Personally,

I always secretly thought that there is something inherently tragedically (?) beautiful in drugs and gangs, in simply burning your youth away like wasted ash. Blah blah.

It's like, most of men lead lives of quiet desperation. And yeah, most of us were lucky enough. The socialisation was perfect, and we found our place in life cooly, becoming automatons. We may have had our doubts when we were young, standing under a clear blue sky one day under the Sun, thinking what kind of world it is that lies out there. And then parents start growing on you about grades and stuff, you work your ass off for a job, so that you can start a family, so that you can have kids, so that your kids can annoy the hell out of you, blah blah.

Eventually the pressures of conformity and monotony of everyday life just drains that rebellious voice away. You wanted to take on the world, you felt like you could take on the world. And now you just let the world take you whereever it may...

Life's A Struggle. Take that from Shawn Song, who was another guy I really took on to too. Too bad he's dead too. BLEAHHH.

We either explode in silence,

or become silent. Maybe that's why that nameless, your friendly everyday worker guy in Fight Club started Fight Club, fuelling aggression and violence. They are the guys who swept the road while you were asleep, served you coffee while you were negotiating a deal with your client, pumped petrol for your car while you were on the phone... Blah blah. And they will be the ones who'll destroy the skyscrapers in the financial district. So much for the first step into economic equilibrium.

I like,,,

You don't need to have brains to see that what we see on screen mostly is commercial crap, packaged garbage.

The movies that truly move you, are those that you gotta seek out on your own.
