About simple movies

I love this kind of simplicity in some movies. In movies where you feel like everything has its time to happen, every conversation has its importance, every character its dept and contribution to the plot or the character's realizations. Hell! In good movies even silence has it's importance. >>> Good movies are not afraid of silence :) (just as they are not afraid of long good conversations between characters).

A good example of this is a movie I watched with F (a friend got a double ticket and gave it to us !) :

Hill of Freedom (2013), Sang-soo Hong [Korea]

It's just perfect... I really loved it.
I mean... it was not astonishing or anything like that. But it's the kind of movie that do not need big action scenes, or lots of eye candy and overwhelming soundtrack to make it's message come trough just fine.
Just with it's quite simplicity, this movie will probably stay in my memory forever, even if I conscientiously forget about having watched it. It will always be a referent to me, a shared memory, on top of it all.

Seed this :).
I heard it deserves to be watched <3 I'm watching it now. I'll tell you what I thought about it.
I've been planning to watch a lot of cool stuff lately, maybe I will write about it.

Also coming up:

*Japanese movie "I wish" (2011), by Hirokazu Koreeda [Japan]

* Japanese movie "Like Father Like Son" (2013), also by Hirokazu Koreeda [Japan]

This one I've already watched, but only half of it (on TV).
I thought it was beautiful. The photography was just amazing, with this beautiful ambience where you can feel every single detail like the little noises the children make playing or the sound of their parents going about their daily lifes...

I hope a certain person will want me to share with her more movies like these... : ) Because I get a good shared feeling about watching this films with someome I love <3.

Things about living with other human beings

Hello my friends,

    Today I bring you matters of the heart (-- again, I might say). When you love someone, a friend, a family member, a partner of any kind, you make compromises. When you love someone, you try your best to let the right message come across, you are honest with them and yourself. These are things I am loving to learn, these are things that never made more sense to me then now.
    I don't know what happened but I feel much more... connected. I now know how to observe others and myself, I now know when I need time on my own and when to reach out for company, and I also feel more able to understand loved one's emotions and feelings... Of course this is yet something to test in the day-to-day life, but I can now say I feel much more... like myself. It's a type of balance I do not want to loose and I am willing to do everything I can to not loose it.

    I'm still on vacation so I've been playing a lot of an anti-social game called Sims3 (yes--- I know, it's a silly time-consuming game... but it's entertaining), sleeping a lot and almost never leaving the house for days and days. But my body is ready, bring it on world ! Tie me up, smack me hard, toss me around, and I will just rise from self-pity all over again. I'm ready to love.

Much love, 

Fawlin

 

Under Attack

    I'm being attacked by hyper-moodiness today, I was supposed to write something nice, I was going to tell you the story of two of my feline friends, Tashi and Pacholas... But I don't seem to be able to assemble feelings and basic concepts into words. I guess we all feel this every now and then, but I'm not quite used to feel like this so often, I'm under attack right now O_O. I hope my possibly-still-not-existent readers are feeling great, and not as moody as I am. I'm not being very good at mindfullness right now, my mind couldn't be more far away from a lake with clear water (mind's natural and best state, they say). Everything is not clear. I'm happy, yes, things are going fine, but things are also going. Usually things don't go much around here, now stuff is happening and for "once" (ok not once but yeah...) in my life I don't want to run away from anything at all. I want to face everything head on, proud brave heart and working good and fast brain.

    I hope I don't get too addicted to stuff happening ... or too overwhelmed
