love is in the air
i finally watched strictly ballroom tonight and i felt so much like dancing after that. or learning how to dance, anyway. i always feel this way after i watch movies with good dancing. it was a pretty fun movie (what would you expect from the guy who directed moulin rouge?) especially with all the dance moves but i guess it was your usual feel-good flick complete with an ugly duckling transformation into a beautiful dancing goddess. but because it was newer back when it was released it didn't feel so cliched, i guess. so i went with the spirit of the movie. if it were released say last year i'd be all 'oh gimme a break'.
i also watched all about my mother and thankfully, i didn't feel like being a mother. the movie was so good, though. really different (HIV-positive pregnant nuns, transsexuals, one of who impregnated said nun etc) but they sorta normalised the differences by treating them so matter-of-factly. i think i'm really liking pedro almodovar's style of directing. i loved talk to her as well.
i want to make films too. irreverent, sad, funny, happy films. i want to write (irreverant, sad, funny, happy stories), i want to act, i want to do so many things. i wonder if i'll actually do any of these one day. i hope so.
and i scored a copy of y tu mama tambien from miss k! yes! finally...
