indecisive maosi... =)

well i was gonna try to stick to my.. i dont care phrase... and it went well for about thirty minutes (what can i say? im stubborn =P) so i got bored i was looking for something to do... i didnt feel like chatting on msn.. cause thats really something only no-life people do yesh... i didnt feel like watching videos on youtube... i didnt feel like watching tv... i didnt feel like practising floorball though my game is tomorrow.. i didnt feel like doing much and yet i felt like doing so much...
and then i remembered i hadn't watched "Amelie" this french movie i just got that we watched in Intro to Film class... it's a really really good movie if u can look past the couple of scenes with obscene stuff... (not all R21 films are porn flicks ok people!) and while watching i began to notice the amount of quotable quotes that i can in one way or another relate too... and it pretty much makes sense to me... (if u guys are sleepy/bored/whatever like got better things to do, go ahead and do whatever u gotta do unless u wanna be lectured on life)

ok sufficient warning....

Today kiddies in Life Class... we gonna understand certain quotes from Amelie..... and lets study how they relate/affect maosi.... (open ur laptops and open this webpage http://finwe21ancalimon.blogspot.com =D)

1. "...the hardest part is the looks. I sometimes feel like they deliberately change their mood behind my back..." (the Glass Man and his painting with people in it...)

-people dont tell u what they think in your face... they do it behind your back...-

2. (on the girl with a glass of water in the Glass Man's painting)
GM -"She's in the middle yet... she's outside."
Amelie-"Maybe she's just different from the others"
A -"Maybe her thoughts are with someone else. More likely a boy she saw somewhere and felt an affinity with."
GM -"You mean she'd rather imagine herself relating to an absent person than building relationships with those around her?"
A -"Maybe... or maybe she tries hard to fix other people's messy lives."
GM -"And what about her? Who will fix her messy life?"
A -"It's better to help people than a 'garden gnome'"
GM -"Tell me about the boy she saw. Did they meet again?"
A -"No. They're into different things"
GM -"Luck is like the "Tour de France". You wait and it flashes past you. You have to catch it while you can..."
A -"She's in love..."
GM -"And yet she does nothing..."
A -"Shes devising a stratagem..."
GM -"Yes shes fond of stratagems... In fact, she's cowardly... That's why i cant capture her face"
-a garden gnome... a lonesome garden gnome... a garden gnome that's been neglected by itself...
im outta luck.... .......-

3. (Bretodeau...)
"Life's funny. To a kid, time always drags. Suddenly you're 50. All that's left of your childhood fits in a rusty little box."

-a pretty funky statement all by itself... im not gonna say what it means.... if u know u know...-

4.(narrator)
"Amelie has a strange feeling of absolute harmony. It's a perfect moment. Soft light, a scent in the air, the quiet murmur of the city. She breathes deeply. Life is simple and clear"

-i know that feeling... how everything goes right... how the entire world seems beautiful... how the air u breathe is so much fresher... how a deep breath makes ur heart feel whole and complete..."

5.(recipe for love)
"Take 2 regulars... mix them together and let them stew. It never fails..."

-not in my case... this is for all the 99.99999% out there... and Love@first sight... the misconception of what love is... -

6.(newspaper booth lady)
"... a woman wihtout love wilts like flowers in the sun..."

-it works both ways...-

7.(failed writer in the 2 windmills bar)
"We pass the time of day, to forget how time passes."

-speaks for itself again-

8.(narrator... amelie finds the advert nino posted wanting the photograph album back)
"any normal girl would call the number. Meet him, return the album and see if her dream is viable. It's called a reality check. The last thing Amelie wants."

-the last thing i want....-

9.(nino and talking pictures on his lamp...)
Pictures -"She's in love"
Nino -"I dont even know her."
P -"You do...."
N -"Since when?"
P -"Since always... in your dreams.......

-but dreams dont come true... never has never will-

10.(boy to nino staring at a statue pointing to the sky...)
"The fool looks at a finger that points to the sky....."

-ive just proven im the king of fools... (i stare at the sky like 30 minutes everday = )-

11.(amelie to heartless grocery shop owner..)
"You'll never be a vegetable, even artichokes have hearts..."

-to all u nasty people out there... -

12.(grocery shop helper to glass man)
".. when they die, they'll put their ashes on a satellite and shoot it up into space so it will shine forever... "

-immortality... without life's sorrows...-

13.(failed writer)
"Failure is human destiny
Failure teaches us that life is but a draft, a long rehearsal for a show that will never play..."

-too right he is... too right he is...-

14.(amelie's co-worker)
"the people i like are mentally unsound"

-speaks for itself-

15.(nino)
"absence makes the heart grow fonder...."

-speaks for itself-

16.(the glass man)
"Your bones arent made of glass. You can take life's knocks. If you let this chance go by, eventually your heart will become as dry and brittle as my skeleton(glass)...."

-dont wanna dont wanna dont know dont know dont wanna, know...-

17.(HIPOLITO)
"Without you today's emotions would be the scurf of yesterdays"

-just when u thought it couldnt get worst eh?-
