"Never let me go" and some thoughts.

I've spent the last couple of days watching films and laying in my sofa. One of those films was "Never let me go" and the last scene from it really sink into me. It is a monologue Kathy has with herself:

I come here and imagine that this is the spot where everything I've lost since childhood is washed up. 
I tell myself if that where true and I waited long enough... then a tiny figure would appear on the horizon across the field and gradually get larger until I'd see it was Tommy. He'd wave and maybe call... I don't let the fantasy go beyond that. I can't let it. I remind myself I was lucky to have had any time with him at all. (...) Maybe none of us really understand what we've lived through or feel we've had enough time.

You don't decide what surrounds you, but you decide where you focus your attention on.

The fault in our stars

   I have have just seen THE FAULT IN OUR STARS and obviously I know that there already are millions, billions of reviews about this film on the internet but still, I wanted to say something about it. As Augustus itself says: "I decided a while ago not to deny myself the simple pleasures of existence" And for me, thinking about this story is one of those pleasures.

   First of all, it is the first movie I cry and laugh with at the same time; something I am very grateful for because enjoying a totally made up story with such a passion is a gift, you can appreciate it or think that you will feel the same about other event soon. I chose the first one and hence name it "extraordinary", so I have the perfect excuse to cling on to it fearing  it will vanish.

               

   Secondly, I don't know if I am the only one that had this thought crossing my mind while watching the movie: "I want to rewatch this again but alone, in my room, at night and with the house completely quiet so I can cry as much as I want without having to worry about disturbing the whole cinema". When I am wrinting this it is 2 AM and I am too sleepy to expose myself to all of those emotions again but what I could bare was listening to the soundtrack with my eyes closed and try to fall asleep. Even only with the music I started to cry again (All of the stars by Ed Sheeran is just too much) and I decided to write this.

   And to wrap this up, "The fault in our stars" have taught me these: to enjoy every life pleasure (whatever those are for you) and to live in a roller coaster that only goes up, because you never know how big your infinity is and ...never forget to open your heart and feel.

   P.S: I heard someone say that John Green is one of the most quotable authors ever. I totally agree.

Everything can happen

   When we read a book or watch a show or a movie, we assume that everything that happens within the plot can actually happen in that particular world. It can be a frog talking in fairy tale or it can be a man tattooing his own body with the plans of the prison he is going to serve the sentence. 

Is not this a marvelous thing?

   This means that: Everything can happen as long as the world it takes place in justifies the event.

Power

How to conserve that feeling of power?

   If you are lucky, when you'll see a powerful movie scene or read a touching book, you may get that feeling of happiness because, suddenly, you are in the exact place you want to be. And later, you'll exit the cinema or close that book thinking you are capable or everything with a smile on your face.
   Well, when you feel this way, the second thing you want to do (after seeking that moment) is to keep it. I am going to be clear, it is impossible. But maybe if you grab your phone and try to write what you are feeling, when you reread it you will remember how that moment was.

Remembering something is not a way or relive a moment?

Divergent.

   I know I am a little bit late in all this Divergent mania, but this Easter holydays I decided that I was going to read the book before seing the film, and so I did. 

   I finished it within a couple days and I am already reading Insurgent. I have to say that I loved it, not only because of its story but because it remembered me when I read things such as Twilight and introduced me again in this teenagish/young literature that I enjoy so much.

I am becoming obsess again with something (which is not a very difficult thing to do to me) haha
   I am looking forward to see the film! (I have already watch the trailer too many times)

Here it is one of my favourite quotes from the book:

Another quote

One hobby of mine is collecting quotes from movies and books I like. The other night I watched once again "The Amazing Spiderman" film, and at the end of it I heard this statement which I decided to note down and share with you:

- "Don't make promises you can't keep Mr. Parker."

- "But those are the best kind."

The Amazing Spiderman.

My tip: Grab a beautiful notebook  and a pen, then begin to write down every phrase, quote, dialogue... that has made you think and smile.
