hmm... listening to Norah Jones now

just got back from watching My Blueberry Nights by Wong Kar Wai...

glad for friend whom I went out with... thankful that different seasons, I have different guy friends to hang out with... was fun just watching artsy movies together, have dinner, chat, laugh and learning more about each other. realise he's a really down to earth dude who really has relationships in good perspective.

hmm... the movie was rather slow moving... but the shots were beautiful. some surrealistic elements, contrasty, grainy, time lapsed and unconventional framings. Liked the style lots. the story was not new, a little lasseiz faire... very much the personality of the music of Norah Jones. Kinda cruisy, moody not much excitement some sadness quiet flowy. There were some pretty moving dialogue and analogies.

My favourite was the part where she was supposed to go into the cafe and confront her boyfriend with the new girl and she let go of the door she was holding on. there was so much focus and lingering on that movement... where the door knob was held on... for a long time... and finally that release... to go... as 2008 comes by... I want to let go what needs to be let go... perhaps faster?

i liked the play on words about doors, keys... how sometimes even if we still have keys to the doors... the person in there may not be there anymore... nice...

i dun like blueberries... but perhaps i should go get a blueberry pie with ice cream one of these days... maybe it will be love accidentally (instead of actually)... ha...
