My heart flutters like a frighten bird in the golden cage.
Is it just me or is Closer a really brutal movie?
Seeing the trailer scares the bajeewiz out of me. My mom wanted to see it. My co-workers wanted to see it. My sister wanted to see it, but I think that's purely based on the Jude Law factor.
Not me. I, on the other hand, as much as I like Jude Law, have been side-stepping around this movie until now. The subject matter of the story is way more horrid then the explicit graphics of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. That is, in my humble opinion, of course.
I kept wondering why no one else seems to be bothered by this.
A friend went to see it and she came back with, "I understand what you mean now. This movie is emotionally brutal. The characters' behavior is gritty and awful. Angst. Angst. Angst." And I exhaled, finally, somebody understands.
"Darling," she continues, "You are a romantic and you cannot tolerate such exhibition of cruelty but go see this movie and you will appreciate the surrealism of it. You’ll love it for the words alone."
have you ever seen a human heart? it looks like a fist wrapped in blood.

Guess where I’m going to take my mom to this weekend?

Huh! you are going to go and see Closer without me? How could you? Actually the whole emotional ripping apart that they do to each other is the main reason why I have not gone to see it yet myself.

See! No one came out and speak up and all the while, I thought I was the crazy one cos, whoa, I just cannot confront this movie. And I didn't even know why.
Just that it scares me.
Took me a while but once I know why it scares me, I'm able to figure out how to make it not scary, with the help of said friend, of course. ^_~
Thus, mommy will get to see her Julia Roberts and the sister will get to oogle over her Jude Law. I heard Clive stole the spotlight, though, but that was from a Clive's fangirl so it maybe bias. =p
Me? I'm going for the pretty words. Cos that's just me. Heh.
