Once in a while one of my best friends, Andrea (remember that name), now living in Portugal, comes to the city and we have fun. We make dinners, go for dinners and drinks. Sometimes go to a casino, with Masha (remember that name) and play roulette for max. 20e and just sip a drink and talk about what's going on in life, in our hometown, with the people we know from childhood. We often go to the movies to watch some ostensibly good movie which turns out to be more or less a total crap. Towards the end of the movie we make up the worst possible predictive endings, that actually happen at the end, hah. Last time we watched Eat, Love and Pray. A woman in her mid life crisis, questing for happiness and stuff, going to Bali and India and Italy... Just to learn that she had to eat, enjoy the food, pray (well, she learned to meditate, I guess the movie was a point of debate in Vatican) and love.
Is it reaaally so cheesy-easy?! As she was 'praying' and stuffing herself in Bali she met Javier Bardem, a divorcee, handsome (if you ask 90% of women), sensitive, caring, loving, heartbroken, he even cried! of course running a huge business... he fell in love with her and she fell in love with him, but AH, the drama, she was running away from her feelings, and afraid of falling in love and ahh, like they wasted 30min of the film and our time, we could've been at the casino. Well, finally, she came back and got wrapped in his arms and tralala
I was like ''What's the morale here?'' and my funny friend Andrea said ''We need to eat more!'' And that's what happened, thank you very much Julia Skinny Roberts!
That movie is (ok this is a bit of an overstatement) deception, cheap Pulp fiction, that Javier Bardem could've had broken his leg while skiing in Switzerland the week before and stayed in hospital and cried there. Because a broken leg hurts too, I'm sure he'd find something to cry over. And she would keep stuffing herself and get really fat, now that's more like a credible ending :D
The morale of the night in the movies, in my opinion is, stop questing, stop eating (emotionally :) ) and stop thinking or meditating too much. THAT'S what makes me unhappy very often. (However, if you are alone every night with your thoughts what else can you do? You can't drink it away all the time:) )
Well, that's what I'd love to do in 2011 anyway.
The only good thing that came out of this movie is Johnny Cash (I think it was Neil Diamond's version) who perfectly fit in a scene I don't remember now. This beautiful song kept echoing in my mind... Love you Johnny Cash :)
