Tao Comme des Garcons spring 2010

i'd watched "midnight in paris" tonight by woody allen.
it's such a great film that says..
deal with the present.




or..more so like, accept now.




it's a good reminder for me
because i dwell on the past
and worry for the future
everysingle second of the day.
and then the day is gone.




anyway
go watch it

HAAAAAAAA I watched norwegian wood thanks to my baby lolitaaaa sarah..zomg

sorry this is such a spoiler for everyone who hasn't seen it. 

but this is one of the most beautiful movies in life.

new jersey, 2011

justin bieber movie, yeah, i watched it.

4.5 stars, yo.

from the film 'sad vacation'

i watched this on the plane back from paris.

" La Vie rêvée des anges"

reminds me of the type of japanese film i like where the entire story is kind of like one chapter of a book instead of the whole novel itself and the climax is seen more towards the end with not such a happy ending.

i'm obsessed with elodie bouchez in this film, who plays isa-

isa is the kind of girl with tough mentality and always has positive outlook on life

girls like her can swim through many things

i want to be like her

the stillness in some of the scenery in this film creates such eerie feelings.

i can feel it more when i pause the film for a second, scroll back and then repeat it.

sometimes i skip the real dialogue of the characters on accident the first time around because i'm too intrigued by the colours and emotions filling up visually. even with no music. just car sounds or sounds of waves on the beach.

he , asano's character, kept failing at dying.

and at the end, i think he found something that let him live one more day. each time he almost died, somehow, something came along and lead him to somewhere he never would've wandered off to.

i think wanting to escape life itself comes around human's mind once , or everyday for some. in the end, it's amazing how people get thru things even if it's the worst. maybe people do die on the inside along the way. sometimes they can never be what they used to be. but sometimes they can recover and come alive again with the help of other people. no one can live alone. even if you wanted to.

being lonely isn't cheeeeezy

girl in cdg signature peter pan collar shirt. ignore my post it.

if you're feeling like the rain..this might just complete you. i recommend , even if you have or have not read the novel.

not a spoiler
but
i want to keep all moments precious
because time is.
it's easier said than realized and done

girl wearing play with Grace, inspired from natalie portman from "the professional"

this had me in such tearsobsob mode.


we are just human i think sometimes we just need love

thank you ntokyot

i can't help but support this film.

apparently the theme song by the beatles (which is super freaking hard to get licensed for films..) was approved partially, mostly , because the guy in charge was a haruki-ist.

"I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me" - The Beatles

HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS! TRAILERS, PLEASE?!

i go mad when I hear murakami, or rinko kikuchi. (and matsuyama, he often gets these roles in japanese film..). uhm, and the beatles. norwegian wood is probably in the top 4 of my favorite murakami's. well, basically alot of my favorite things are finally coming together in one film and i'm losing it. i am really hoping this film will do the book justice. i mean, it won't, not 100%. but still.

end scene from 'tokyo sonata', 2008

this scene completes this film. it was 2% hilarious. but the film itself left me so beat up and empty (sadconfusedawed-it-took-alot-out-of-me-for-some-reason) that i wasn't really laughing out loud. no , but it was not that hilarious. just beautiful perfect way to end it. (i love it when that happens)


to top it off ..claire de lune. it's been a favorite but i never got to learn it. i am trying to learn it by myself but my fingers don't dance on the keys like the boy in the clip.
sad face.


#someone teach me

from takeshi kitano's 2002 film 'dolls'

people say the past is the past and you can never look to the future without , well ,moving on. i especially have very extreme-attachment problems but have gotten better at releasing and storing things in a memory closet. or . perhaps i don't care as much anymore for the convinience of not letting myself be hurt. for days you forget about things because some things are better not to be thinking about. just like miso soup that's been boiling for toooo long, never good (actually, never let miso soup boil). but i cannot help but remember such dark dark moments of my past and think for hours about it. for so long, the only thing i thought about was avoiding these thoughts as they are completely unnecessary to my every day. i feel like my mind is not my own sometimes and forces me to remember sad things. and then after lots of staring out to nothing - thinking-time, you somehow get back to earth again. i think that's what shadows are like. it's something you can't live without. but something you don't have to think about every. single. second. of the day (or else we'd all be mad).

memories of matsuko

"memories of matsuko" also called "kiraware matsuko no issho" directed by tetsuya nakashima. nakashima also directed the more popular "kamikaze girls". love this film so much! ! ! ! i can almost cry watching this but nakashima's style keeps me from doing so..no matter how deepheavy the matter is , he makes things so animated and comical. i really hate it when i get so attached to characters in film and books.. and then the worst happens to them. i guess it's a measure on how succesful the film is. mmm.. this girl, matsuko,..probably a lot of people can relate to her. she just didn't want to be alone.
