Lost in Translation and The Triplets of Belleville.
we saw two movies this weekend, they were both very good and I'm even okay that we paid full price for them both.
I don't have too much to say about Triplets, except it is quite worth watching, cute, strange, and French. I am in love with the little boy before he becomes the freakish athlete. The music is SO good, we danced in our seats.
Lost in Translation, I don't feel I can do it much justice in the mood I'm in now. It's very meloncholy and bittersweet and funny. It reminded me of someone, so I can't write a proper review without being overcome by waves of personal association, but Roger Ebert (whom I've met, who is puffy and strange and spoke about Thomas Wolf) said this, and hit it right on:
"These conversations can really only be held with strangers. We all need to talk about metaphysics, but those who know us well want details and specifics; strangers allow us to operate more vaguely on a cosmic scale. When the talk occurs between two people who could plausibly have sex together, it gathers a special charge: you can only say "I feel like I've known you for years" to someone you have not known for years."
I'm now accepting applications for strangers to talk about metaphysics with (preferably at 3 a.m.)...
hehe.
