Okay, so you're wondering why I just kind of spammed this post with pictures from a movie that you probably would have not heard about, right? All right. Let me explain.
The movie is 'A very long engagement'. It is a French movie..and it was nominated for Oscars(under the Best Foreign Film category) and a few other awards. I remember Shali mentioning this movie to me sometime during the Olevel period, saying that she was watching the movie as a stress relief. But at that time I didn't really bother to go and find out more about the movie. Recently, I was watching Okto and they were playing all the foreign language films that won/were nominated for Oscars and this movie just sort of came to my mind. And while I was watching Cold Mountain over the holidays (again), I was thinking, why not try watching this movie as well. I realised that I seem to like war-time love stories. So, I gave this movie a shot. And OMG...I thank Shali for 'introducing' me to this movie.
It bears some vague similarities to Cold Mountain..but it is unique in its own way. And I cried for like a number of parts..especially the ending when he goes 'Does it hurt when you walk?" OMG! ): ): Okay, now you're lost about what I'm talking about right?
This movie is basically about these two people who are childhood sweethearts. They have kind of been together since they were really young. And the girl, Mathilde, is disabled in the sense that she can't really walk properly. And when they first met when they were really young, the first thing that Manech,the guy, asked her was 'Does it hurt when you walk?' And basically, they grow up together. And a war comes along and Manech goes to fight. During the war, he witnessed a bomb exploding and exposing his friend's/fellow soldier's organs..like intestines etc. Like a really disgusting sight. And that causes him to loose his mind..since he has never witnessed such gruesome stuff before. And while he's away, a lot of people tell Mathilde that he wouldn't come back. But she believes that if he's dead, she'd know cause of the love they share/have shared since young. And basically, she goes on a 'journey' to find him and eventually finds him. However, he doesn't know her and doesn't remember anything from the past. And when he meets her (again), he goes like 'Does it hurt when you walk?'
OMG. It was heartbreaking! Try watching the movie, it is REALLY worth it! I am not kidding! The ending was a little less heartbreaking than that of Cold Mountain's where Jude Law dies in the ending ): But sad enough to make me cry ): The way the movie was filmed is truly amazing. TRY WATCHING IT! I think this is the best French movie I have watched since Les Choristes and La Vie En Rose. (: Maybe I should try watching more French movies (: HAHAHA!
And now, to football.
The Hull City manager, Phil Brown, is getting on my nerves. What on earth please? He goes on and on about this stupid spitting incident which never occurred! Seriously! Cesc Fabregas is not that kind of guy! We all know it..so please, get a life! And there is no proof of his nonsensical accusations..so get lost, seriously!
Okay now, Spain won Turkey 1-0! I didn't watch the match..so anyway, I'm happy that Spain won! (:
And it was kind of saddening that there isn't any Arsenal match this week):
CCA yesterday was....super tiring! When all of this gets done and over with, I am seriously gonna learn how to value my Saturdays! Theatre week is in one week! Oh no. Oh no.
Okays anyway. I gotta go. I wonder why my brain is functioning more slowly nowadays. More and more people are calling me 'blur' or 'blur block'. ): That is why my Facebook message is 'Akshaya is lost in LALA land.' And some people eh...linked it to totally irrelevant stuff! Like....okay nevermind (: I am not laughing!
All right. I gotta go and start studying for my tests and start finishing my homework. That is a lot of work.
BUH-BYEE!
