i wrote this the other night :
Very rarely are there movies that change my entire perception on the world. I know its only temporary but for that minute or hour or day that my entire world is viewed in a whole new light I get this overwhelming feeling that i need to change the world and tell everyone everything i know.
I just finished watching the movie "the dreamers" and it was definitely one of those movies that made me immediately want to get on a plane, fly to paris and read books about everything in a park somewhere near the Eiffel tower. That movie has changed my life for this moment. Yeah sure, it will be gone by the time i wake up tomorrow and I wont feel the need to quote famous poets and have intellectual conversations about fine arts and the economy but right now i feel like sharing my views with the world.
As i talk to Annaliese on my sidekick at 3 am on a tuesday I wish that I were reading poems and drinking wine and growing out my pubic hair. I realize right now, this minute that everyone in our generation is a materialistic bastard. Take me for example, I'm sitting here on my ibook G4 while having a conversation on my Juice Couture sidekick. I'm wearing some sort of fur coat, a shirt i spent 20$ on and a pair of pants that I bought today at the mall. I think about the people I know and what our lives would of been like if we were say, hippies in the 60's. Fighting for some revolution to happen, trying to make a difference in the world living off nothing but scraps wearing the same clothes for weeks on end. The society that I live in today is completely surrounded by electronic devices, technology has eaten our brains and its disgusting.
In that movie, yes, maybe some people might think its fucked up because of the amount of incest involved in it but I t think its beautiful. That 3 people can live as shut in's, eating next to nothing, not involving themselves in the outside world at all and still be completely happy and completely in love with each other. 3 people can sit around drinking wine by candle lit floors talking about amazing movies and wonderful music that no one will ever see in a way that they saw it. The fact that 3 people can be in love with each other ALONE makes life seem like such a waste... the way that society is today, the way that people "posses" things, the things that people talk about? its all bullshit. Everything is meaningless... well, at least the majority of things.
This is a movie that I will appreciate forever, a movie that will change my life for at least a few hours and make me see the world in a totally different perspective and its sad to me that there ARE very few things in the world that will ever make me feel like this.
Buy me a ticket to Paris, I want to learn. Instead, I'll send this to someone to read once and go and check my myspace before I fall asleep. What has this world come to... what are our values, really.
