Yay, it's time for another happy-go-lucky blog post! Wieee!
Anyway, I don't have much to say right now. Or maybe I do, but I don't got the time to do so.
What I am going to share this time is my reflections on a movie I saw with Felicia yesterday. The movie is called "Two Lovers", and the main character is called Leonard Kraditor (played by Joaquin Phoenix). If you don't want to hear any spoilers, please skip down to next section of text. During most of the film I didn't know if I should like or dislike Leonard. He do have a lot of positive qualities, but at the same time he's very... peculiar, or how you prefer to express it. He's very caring and quite outgoing, but at the same time he's withdrawn and with his head up in the blue. The whole movie starts with a distant female voice telling him that she loves him but she has to go. And then we see him jump from a bridge (those you see in a harbour). However, he changes his mind while in the water and gets rescued by a bunch of men who come when they hear his cry for help. So in that way we understand that he's suicidal, but he don't really want to die. The movie goes on, and we see that he lives at home with his folks. The family are friends with another family, and they have a daughter in Leonard's age called Sandra. Obviously Sandra have been liking Leonard for a shorter while, which she's not particulary shy about. Leonard likes her as well, but not as much as she likes him. He makes plans for a date with her, and then... BOOM! Michelle (played by Gwyneth Paltrow) shows up and Leonard is hooked. This doesn't stop him from continuing to date Sandra. And THIS is what I don't like about Leonard. He has a tremendous crush on Michelle, but he chooses not to tell Sandra that he's in love with someone else. He's not being honest to Sandra, and that really buggs me since she just want to take care of Leonard and want him to like her. She even asks once if he really likes her, and then he says that he does like her and then they have sex. And not in a pretty way! Actually, the two times he have sex during the movie I get really disgusted. He's really caring about Michelle, but at the same time he totally ignores her feelings. For instance, at one time in the story Michelle have just broken up with her boyfriend and meets up with Leonard. She tells him she's really confused and that she's going to San Francisco to think about things. Leonard tells her not to because he loves her. He goes on about how he loves her and that he'd never leave her. She's still confused by all her feelings and says so, then he walks up to her and kisses her and suddenly, while standing up, it seems like he's actually having sex with her. And it's all over in a few minutes. They decide to elope to San Francisco, and decide to meet up on New Year's Eve to take a flight. Until then Leonard goes and buy her an engagement ring. And what I'm wondering here is... What the hell is he thinking?! That is not to respect another person's feelings. That's just egoistic and idiotic and God knows what. I feel like slapping him in the face. I mean... Not only is he such an idiot to do all that, at the same time he have a girlfriend and he plans to leave home, friends, family and girlfriend just like that, on impulse! I do have to give credit since it's quite an original movie. And it's not often that you do dislike the main character. Anyway, I hated watching the movie. It made me depressed, and I really hate Leonard.
I have to go now. Going to go to the library with my dear sister :)
Buh bye!
