Last Thursday, after my disastrous exams, I decided to go and watch a movie with N. After a quick deliberation, (Serenity, Into the Blue and In her Shoes), we opted for "In her Shoes" as I thought this was a good movie to watch to release my tensions. And indeed!
Beautiful theme - an awakening of two sister's "true love" for each other which was adroitly portrayed by Toni Colette and Cameron Diaz. It is a modern interpretation of "soul mates" principle or "soul sisters" as you may; - one's humanity is anchored on another. Like the yin and the yang.. .like you'd go banana when you lose the other half to complete yourself. I would say it is 100 girlie movie that would surely bring you to your climactic tears after series of laughter now and then. And if you are fond of Shirley Mclaine - well I noticed she has been getting all these grandma roles in feel good movies, of course effortlessly gliding through and cutting the edges brilliantly.
Highlights - Cameron's reading of ee cummings' poem (wish I could write like him/her?), just opened my tear glands like Mount Pinatubo's eruption- - - whew. I think I needed that.
i carry your heart with me
i carry your heart with me
(i carry it in my heart)
i am never without it
(anywhere i go you go,my dear;
and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear no fate
(for you are my fate,my sweet)
i want no world
(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart
(i carry it in my heart)

Toni Colette is a funny girl I'm sure. She's great in the 6th Sense & Muriel's Wedding.
I need a good movie to watch. I've just watched Jodie's FlightPlan - parang "No withouth my daughter" ni Sally Field.
I want my money back!
typo: Not Without My Daugther
btw: the word verification on your comment tags is a bit annoying. I've written it correctly and always got the "error". What to do?
