Reverberations :
I dunno what does one say to things and happenings which happen once and are reflected again and again within a short span of time...I think I would call them reverberations.
In my last post I was dwelling on matters of heart and soulmates, wondering how perfect or imperfect life gets without their presence. I won't be stupid to say that a movie gave me 'gyan' which would be treasured for a lifetime....no nothing so dramatic yet something....something that makes one wonder how perfect some lives could be, but they are not.
I saw the movie 'Before Sunset' just now. Did not know any of the actors ...nor heard of the movie, Tan's got the DVD from US and I saw it because the food was no good and I needed some distraction while eating. The two characters meet unexpectedly. They had met once for some hours 9 years ago and as fate has it meet , interestingly and keeping with serendipity at a bookstore.
The author(male lead) chronicles their meeting in a book, which becomes a bestseller. The woman reads the book. What happens next is beautifully scripted, so touching and so wishfully romantic. How perfect they would have been and made the imperfectness of their present lives.
The dialogues are beautiful (a tad boring for some maybe) and the performance .... real. The sequence is unhurried, for all the time elapsed.......I donot have anyother word but 'soulmates'(I know ..I know it's so trite, but watch it before judging).
I started with food and a movie and am left with food for thought.
