Amelie

If you're depressed, watch Amelie, it is the most beautiful movie ever made. It recognizes the small things in live that make it worthwhile, and shows people who live on the "outside" who eventually find happiness despite their social ineptitudes. Everytime I watch the last scene, I cry, because it's so beautiful.


But then, I love foreign films.

it is a good movie
we are the brand new beatniks. we are the down and outers.
we are the bleeding hearts, beating syncopated, broken rhythm.
our speed is often break neck. we need to slow it down.
tired of being sleepless. tired of being broken.

yeah, as a film student I can definetely see that! The shot where Amelie is skipping stones on the bridge is amazing.

you're a film student?

so am I! :nod:

I just got back from the film library, I had to analyze the sound in 2 scenes from Citizen Kane.

Amelie is such a great movie, very happy, but yet very depressing because she reminded me of myself.
HARDCORE!!!

OMG. I can't believe I din't think fo you
until now because when I think on
a scale of one to ten you're like YWELVE.
No, seriously?

I <3 my HLP!!!!!

Amelie is possibly my favorite movie ever
"Sh*t, id be f*ckin' scared if us were opening for...us"
-Dave Grohl on why the Red Hot Chili Peppers only let the Foos play a 45 minute set when they toured together

"baby, i wish you were my baby,
ill make u make a baby,
let's make electric power,
in fear u should not cower,
cuz girl i will protect u,
i promise not to sex u,
and IiiiiIiiiiIiiiiiiIiiiiiIiiiiii...." - Dudez a Plenti

"all by myself
cause I don’t want to drag you down, hold you down
cause you’re a friend
i blame myself
i guess you think it’s funny now, funny now
it's such a shame..."
-Feeder - Just a Day

I am still awesome.........................................................................................seriously.
