Amelie.

go look for it. french film. brilliant. i love films that play with colour and this is one of the films that is random enough to become my new favourite film:) for 116 minutes there was this asian girl in the library smiling to herself watching a video cassette of a french film that is so complete and makes everything so beautiful. i love whimsical stuff. whimsical settings that can not exist in the real world. where dreams cross with our universe and just for brief moments everything is so clean and uncomplicated, where big plans don't screw up. i like big fish and 500 days of summer, and before Amelie, i had not found any other film that had the same thing like big fish that i liked so so much. many films that i thought were good but this was just so unparalleled that i was smiling my way home.

and now i know. i like films with narration. its more than the cinematic beauty. its the narration that drowns out the things we are not interested in and focuses us towards what we should be looking at and thinking about.

i like narrating my own views. its like looking at people and creating stories about who we think they are, what happened prior to their current situation, what will happen next. and narrating our own thoughts to ourselves... and of cos fascinating ourselves, cos who will be the better audience than ourselves?

i only wish that narrative voice existed to do the same as in movies, to drown out the parts that we are not interested in. to escape once we close our eyes to places pristine and complete like that in movies. but we can close our eyes but not our ears.
