fallen angels

Other people pay for cable, I have netflix. You pay monthly for unlimited dvd rentals, it’s organized by mail. The good thing about this: it’s still far cheaper than cable ($20 vs. $60 and up) and your tv is showing what you like, you don’t get lost in some 500 channels. These days everytime I watch a movie I normally almost fall asleep, which is kind of annoying. Except, I found out, with movies by wong kar wai. ‘Fallen angels’ is running. You don’t need to understand. It’s very emotional, expressive. You get lost in these pictures, characters. When I saw ‘2046’ I didn’t understand a lot of the story but the film was great. I learned it followed what started with ‘In the mood for love’. So I saw this one afterwards, wonderful. But I had to see it about three times until I fully understood the story. And then I realizes the concept, also behind ‘2046’. It’s not necessarily about the story, it’s about everything around it. That’s when I started to really enjoy these movies without focus on the rational part, tired sometimes, pictures, movements, colors, emotions, people, time…are beautifully passing by.
