Some Kind of Felicity

love me if you dare…

“I always feel like a freak because I’m never able to move on like this, you know? People just have an affair or even entire relationships. They break up and they forget. They move on like they would have changed brand of cereals.

“I feel I was never able to forget anyone I’ve been with, because each person has their own specific qualities. You can never replace anyone. What is lost is lost. Each relationship, when it ends, really damages me. I never fully recover. That’s why I’m very careful with getting involved - because it hurts too much. Even getting laid. I actually don’t do that, because I will miss of the person the most mundane things. I’m obsessed with little things.

“Maybe I’m crazy, but when I was a little girl, my mom told me that I was always late to school. One day she followed me to see why. I was looking at chestnuts falling from the trees, rolling on the sidewalk. Or ants crossing the road; the way a leaf cast a shadow on a tree trunk. Little things.

“I think it’s the same with people. I see in them little details, so specific to each of them, that move me and that I miss and will always miss. You can never replace anyone, because everyone is made of such beautiful, specific details.”

Gheegle: (Filipino) The urge to pinch or squeeze something that is unbearably cute.

Someone needs to restrain me because I’m going to hurt something/myself.

(Also… it’s Tumblr Tuesday, consider recommending!)

too cute! both of them! haha =] Avengers was fantastic and Tom was brilliant as always, bringing much psychological complexity to the character of Loki! ^_*

‘I think he understands the 1950s better than any living filmmaker. The precision of his memory for life at that time is extraordinary; not just his memory of period detail but also of the emotional range of what people were feeling – the fact of people feeling different constraints, and certain people feeling freer and others feeling not free at all.’ -Tom Hiddleston on Terence Davies (the director of The Deep Blue Sea)

13 March 2012 

Film: THE DEEP BLUE SEA (dir. Terence Davies, 2011, U.K.)

Forum: Gene Siskel Film Center Format: 35mm

Observations: One of the greatest living feature filmmakers working in the English language paid the Film Center a visit tonight, as part of the European Union festival, to screen his latest film (set for a commercial release here March 30, 2012). The film played to a mostly (not quite) full house. Following an introduction by Barbara Scharres and a screening of the film (thankfully in 35mm), Mr. Davies treated the audience to his witty and unvarnished views of modern cinema, tales of casting and film production, and even a bit of poetry (Emily Dickinson and Shakespeare). The film is an adaptation of a mid-20th century play by Terence Rattigan set in the ruins of post-World War II London. A married woman approaching middle age is pierced by the love of a younger man, a pilot. The film self-consciously - and successfully - evokes the great movie dramas of that period (David Lean’s BRIEF ENCOUNTER, most strongly). Davies also achieves with music, set design and other atmospherics - on a bare shoestring - a memory narrative not unlike Otto Preminger’s LAURA. Recommended.
