Let me in



I love:
Opening hospital scene,many layered transparencies
The soundtrack
The acting
The darkness
The blood
The snow
The close ups
The pureness
Romeo and Juliet
Abby's things from the past
The fact that we never really see his mom's face
Kids screaming after Owen hits the bully
The 80's pop songs
The bloody kiss
When Owen closes the door

Fly away from the greyness

I just watched The Red Balloon (Le Ballon Rouge), a film made in Paris in 1956.A little boy,on his way to school finds a big bright red balloon and takes it with him.At first he's not allowed on the bus and then his mother(or grandmother)throws it out of the window.The balloon instead of flying away it comes back to the window and waits until the little boy sees it .The little boy takes it with him to school and plays with the balloon on his way there.The other kids notice that this balloon is different and try to take it from the boy.The teacher gets really angry with the balloon and punishes the boy.Then all the kids chase the boy until they take away his balloon and try to burst it with their slingshots.All these happen a few years after World War II in the poor grey neighbourhoods of Paris where most buildings looked destroyed.It might seem simple and childish but these are the reasons why this film is so beautiful.It's like a poem,or a fairy tale or a song made into a film.I recommend it to anyone who hasn't forgotten what it was like being a child and hasn't lost the ability to dream and dare to be different.

To flee is Life,to linger, Death

 
 Oskar: Aren't you cold?
Eli: No.
Oskar: Why not?
Eli: I guess I forgotten how.

I love:
The silence

The meaning of life





The Fool: I am ignorant, but I read books. You won't believe it, everything is useful... this pebble for instance.

Gelsomina: Which one?

The Fool: Anyone. It is useful.

Gelsomina: What for?

The Fool: For... I don't know. If I knew I'd be the Almighty, who knows all. When you are born and when you die... Who knows? I don't know for what this pebble is useful but it must be useful. For if its useless, everything is useless. So are the stars!

80's Teen movies make me happy



I've been obsessed with the 80's since I was 13 (1998) before 80's were back in fashion and became cool again.I just love the kitchness and stupidity of everything.I kind of hated it when they came back and everyone started reenacting the past just because it's 'cool' to do that.
I remember watching 80's teen movies every Sunday afternoon on TV. They all had a kitchness and a naughty innocence that teen movies don't have anymore.Everytime I watch them they make me feel young and colourful.Even though when I was a teenager I was completely the opposite and hated being one,they make me want to be a teenager again..But a decade before(I was a teenager) and in a different world(movie world).I usually stop being obsessed with things after a while but this 80's obsession has never left me.Even now after all these years I need to watch 80's teen movies when I'm bored,lonely and miserable.

Is that all there is?
