It's so subtle and gentle, and really does leave you with a smile on your face.<br /><br />And this morning I was trying on a wedding dress, and the first song they sing together came on the store's hi-fi :)green inkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10955967846673578879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-48802391695945852202010-05-08T05:00:57.269+01:002010-05-08T05:00:57.269+01:00I'll rent it again.

Two others that are a bit quirky that I've really enjoyed are both by Tom McCarthy: 'The Station Agent' & 'The Visitor'- both leave you with a smile on your face and a joyful heart.

She fell in love with it, then bought the soundtrack. I don't know why I never saw it, but it looks remarkable. I think I'll definitely put it on the To Do list.

Thanks for reminding me that this was one I wanted to see. I like actors who look like real people and films about music. I prefer this type of film to the block busters too. Will add to my Netflix queue. <br /><br />Interesting tour of KL too in the post below!

Then I saw it and wondered what the clamoring was about. <br /> Only later did I realize that I had totally, as in totally, ignored the music. And it was clear, once again, how separated I am from music. I was totally 'watching' it, not hearing it, immune to the way the music was designed to lead me along. (My daughter has dyslexia, more serious than mine, and was tested for auditory discrimination problems. I'm sure that I have it also. The best I can do is understand that Bach and Mozart are high structures and comforting, even though i can't remember what I just, three minutes ago, heard...)<br /> What I was capable of noticing was the completely unusual way of ignoring the 'standard' Hollywood predictable endings! Oh, that was wonderful.<br /> I have been watching Saturday late afternoon films with two friends. We saw a film that just captured me. I think it's called "The Good Heart", (not that dumb Hollywood thing heart thing..but a Norwegian film with a fabulous English actor (my daughter's favorite actor who I'd never heard of and don't remember the name of). Oh, it was so inventive (as well as beautiful...<br /> But last week, because my woman friend doesn't really like the films that her husband and I like, we watched one that her daughter chose about the Morgan's something, something with Sarah Jessica Parker (oh, she's so skinny and played such a wretched spoiled character that anyone with any sense would have smacked her, except that pudgy old Hugh Grant was playing her besotted husband...) I could barely stand sitting there because I knew the plot before it unfolded...and wondered whether I have time left to watch this wretched stuff with my dear friend who has uncomfortably sat though the films that I find endearing and meaningful.<br /> so, it's it awful to be getting so selfish?<br /> thank you, Cuban, again...melissashookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02398008713376655570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-17106781849773263402010-05-05T13:44:44.485+01:002010-05-05T13:44:44.485+01:00Thank you for the suggestion.
