whore in my bed

Antonio: What are you doing?
Christina: I'm memorizing this room... in the future... in my memory... I shall live a great deal in this room
Go GARBO!!!
Watched 2046 today. It was rather long; 2 hours to be precise *yawn*.
Don't get me wrong, I really liked it, it's just that two hours is a long time to be sitting on a beanbag with your head bent and legs stretched behind you. I lie, it's quite relaxing to contort yourself now and then.
Anyway...
Aside from that, the idea behind the movie was good, the shooting was good,editing needed more work, and Ziyi Zhang was actually good in this film *surprise*. My enjoyment of this movie probably rested largely on the fact that I was able to identify with the concept they were trying to get across. In many ways this movie reminded me of one of my test essays where I have not mastered the text and just end up rambling off loads to fool the examiner into thinking I know some stuff. Like my essays, this movie took ages to get to the point, and when it did get to a point,it would fly off tangent again with a random shot of an android.
However, after thinking real hard, from what I gather of 2046, is that Kar Wai( yea,we're on first name basis now, we should be after I stomached 2hours of his film), just wants to put across the idea that no matter how we dwell on the past,we're never able to get it back. Like sleazy (but good actor) Tony Leung says ,' it's no good meeting the right person.. too soon or too late...' because everything in life is all about having the right timing...or something like that. I wish I could say something really poignant about the film, but it was more of a catharsis for me. Clever filming techniques, the people in the movie were always framed and trapped within the confines of walls/ curtains creating a sense of stifling entrapment which echo the mental and emotional constriction felt by its protaganists. *buddabum chhh*
Good flick,' Bai Ling' and Tony very scarily paralleled my life, I wasn't the only one freaked.
(Lush is playing 'Trigger Hippy'..Man, haven't heard that song in AGES! I HEART IT! )
Kimura Takuya is HOT!! Omg! I can just keel over from heart arrest just looking at this punk! He's way HOT in 2046 as Tak. Gah! Why are Jap guys so bloody hot and Sporean/ Gloucestershire dudes all... ikan bilis like. Omg! Kimura Takuya, you are a GOD. A God. I think. Surprising though, there are hardly any good pics of him. But he got me through 2 hrs of 2046... sexy beast *drool, sweat*
ps: I would really love to watch art films in Singapore. Does Singapore have any arty- indie type cinema's like those along Notting Hill? It's pretty useless on the art film scene isn't it. Thought so :( Anyway, if any of you are up for bringing me along should you know of them, please be nice and drop me a text. I'LL PAY YOU! Ok,no i'm not serious. I'll buy you a drink....
