Toxicology

I've been really slack these few days. watched both "before sunrise" and "before sunset" by myself.

The first film was very idealistic, about sweet romantic love... and the little coincidences made in film were really touching... the way the scenes were shot... made me wanna go vienna or tour europe again. =P the cobbled streets, tiny shops tucked in the corners (instead of malls) and the trams... we actually did take the tram in Linz... and the bus... and i remember the M&Ms mcflurry and tiramisu... IN MACDONALDS!

anyway, back to the films. the second one was more realistic. although i found it a little too cynical. cos now the guy's in a loveless marriage bounded by his son and the girl's so hurt from broken relationships. It's so obvious that they should be together... n fate had them so near, yet so far - he would dream of her in his sleep and wake up crying; he thot he saw her as he went to the church to get married (which he might really have cos the girl happened to live in the neighbourhood at that same point in time). Yet the movie ended without having a true ending in a sense. Being the hopeless romantic that i am, of course i'ld rather he dump his wife and be together with her. but then my fren said that they can't be together. Which really is quite possible cos he HAS a son and she has a boyfriend whom she supposedly loved. just that u can tell that they love each other more than anything else... so basically i'm feeling sad for them and 不甘愿 that they can't be together although they aren't really real. n it really bugs me. silly huh?

then again, would something like this happen in real life? people don't seem to be as romantic as movies would have. ah... reality...
