I'm not sure what brought me back to this, but this movie has come to mind again. I'm not sure how many times I've watched it now, but it still is one of those movies that can put a smile on your face. How can you not smile at the happy ending? To me, and what it means for me, it's bittersweet. I'm not sure if makes me want to smile or cry.
A quick search shows this movie is from ten years ago. Amazing how time flies. Apparently the cast and crew had a reunion last month and there was a re-screening somewhere in the US. I would love to watch this movie in a theater.
After all these years, the part of the movie that still hits me hardest is when Vivian is catching her flight at the airport and Wil is trying to convince her to stay. Vivian tells Wil to kiss her in public and Wil can't bring herself to do it.
"You're too scared to look the world in the eye and let it watch you fall in love. You're off and running without a fight." - Vivian, Saving Face
Is this what you thought of me then? Is this what you still think of me now?
I wish I could say you're wrong, but I know there (still) is some truth to it.
I'm trying to fix it...I really am......
It's the last minutes of Dec 31st again. Another year coming to a close. Another year to ring in. If there's anything I want to be doing tonight, it's in that picture.....
Lay quietly next to you...feel your breathing...feel your heartbeat...feel your presence.
No words could ever explain what that feeling is.
But there's no snow this year. The theater's been demolished. And I'm not even completely sure if I know where you live anymore.
What do I have left?
