Raw emotions
WARNING: SPOILER BELOW. if you havent watched WINDSTRUCK yet and you intend to somewhere in the near/far future. stop it right HERE. do not proceed any further.
its a korean movie btw. and for those who dont plan to watch it, you too shouldnt read on cos i seriously reccomend that you do WATCH it. i INSIST. haha. if you were here i'd twist ur arm into watching it. muahahaha. so watch it quick then read this post. kekeke.
yes, yes, i'm SLOW. i know. believe me, ive been waiting ages to watch this movie. and guess where i watched it in the end? YOUTUBE. no tv? no vcd? well, hehe we Lims are resourceful ppl. nvm the annoying pixels- beggers cant be choosers hei?
another movie i'd recommend is My Sassy Girl. my aunt intro-ed me to this one a long time ago. but i wasnt a blogger then so im telling you now if you havent seen it yet :P
----------------------------------------------------------------------(cut off point)
so anyway,
i've just spent the last half hour bawling my eyes out. you know: the lump in throat thing, toilet roll by my side, the whole she-bang. the last time i cried so badly was during Passion of the Christ.
all for a truly tragic love story. T-R-A-G-I-C. so heart-wrentching that i both hate it and love it. heck, Romeo & Juliet cant touch this movie. even titanic -considered as one of the greatest love stories of all time.
maybe its because Leo Dicaprio has always annoyed me :P
or maybe there no sexual element in it. its pure. its an honest-to-goodness- stripped-down-to-its-bare-bones love story. the connection between two people. full-stop. its actually refreshing that they never kissed- altho i secretly hoped they would before he left. just once.
but wanna know what the scariest part is? after he died, and when she attempted to commit suicide a few times, i hoped she would succeed. :(
i actually felt her pain. her hopelessness. and the realisation that he was gone and would never again be by her side. to lose someone you love so much. the thought if having to move on, without him. shit, having let suicide cross my mind as an option scared me. because, no one should EVER take his/her own life under ANY circumstance. its just wrong. perhaps i was all swept up in the moment. whatever it is,
what i felt is only a MINUTE fraction of what God must feel when we stray.
though most of the scenes were absolutely absurd, the whole movie is just so sweet that you just take it with a pinch of salt and go along for the ride. hei, no one said it was an oscar winner right?
