Blue Valentine

Three more days and February comes to an end.
And not a poem from Neruda ;-)

But I did watch Blue Valentine, this February.

"How do you trust your feelings when they can just disappear like that?"
"I think the only way you can find out is................... to have the feeling"

Not all of us will be ready for the movie though. A little too real and raw. Scenes that travel from the past and the present, like it happens in our mind, in life - like how when lovers break up, they cannot resist thinking about the day they first met, kissed and made love. The feeling that you leave after the movie is the feeling that you perceive of their relationship, however you see it. I left the movie with no emotion - surprising for a story of love, and I think, that's what makes it special.

When love happens or breaks, you don't really have to shout out loud, do you? And however sad the relationship is/was, there are moments and for some, a song.



Maybe you should catch the movie.
PS: Michelle Williams has been nominated for Best Actress for the Oscars. Of course, no surprise.
