Yesterday evening I watched a movie that I had recorded on the DVR. It was entitled The Heart of Me and starred Helena Bonham Carter in a period piece (1930's). I recorded it because I've always enjoyed watching Ms. Carter in her various period and non-period pieces. She's a wonderful actress and very pleasing to look at. She sometimes reminds me, when her hair is properly done, of an ex-girlfriend named Jennifer.
Anyway...without going into any real detail about the movie (sister sleeps with other sister's husband, etc.) I was struck by the acting and beauty of Olivia Williams. I looked her up on the Internet and found that she had been in a number of other movies, some of which I have seen (Rushmore, Sixth Sense, etc.). She's quite an attractive woman....more sensual than sexy. Not cute. Not pretty. Beautiful. She could have been, in my opinion, a stage and movie screen success in the 40's and 50's with her striking beauty.
In hommage, or so I suspect (well, it was really probably lust), I dreamt last night and the one I still recall included her or someone looking very much like her. I don't recall much about the dream now, some hours later, but she was chasing me hard and heavy. And I was quite suspicious of her intentions as she was far too attractive to be interested in me. And I remember thinking this throughout the dream once I realized she was 'digging my scene'.
It was one of those dreams where I experienced mixed feelings - confusion as to why she should want anything to do with the likes of me and being totally thrilled that a woman of this calibre liked me.
Shame I had to wake up....I would like to have seen where it would have gone.
