i have a new favourite movie. it's entitled
serendipity. say se-ren-di-pity.
if you've not watched it, you have to. i consider it a must watch. : )
i now appreciate the fact that i'm flat broke, and that i couldn't/wouldn't/didn't go to black or indo tonight, because serendipity was shown on channel 5's late night friday movie.
john cusack and kate beckinsale did a fine job in this A* movie on the possibility of trusting fate to the extremes when it comes to love. i cannot help but tell you that it is a movie to own. and i will definitely be dreaming of this one for a while.
here's the gist and juice for you.
boy meet girl at a departmental store during a christmas sale, and they both are eyeing the same present. both are seriously attached to someone else, but who's going to deny them a casual conversation? boy tries to get girl's number, but girl refuses to even give her name. she calls it fate if they were to meet again. they part, only to be brought back again within the next hour due to differing circumstances. he coaxes her into giving him her name and that's that. when he wants her number, she tells him to write it on a $5 bill. she turns on him, and gives it off saying, "if it returns to me, i'll call you." to make the deal fair, she writes her name and number on a book and sell it off second hand the next day.
you have to watch how this story plays out. the cinematography and the vibrant colours of the scenes are top choice, it's simply beautiful. this movie never tires, and will definitely bring a smile to your face. a feel good movie overall.
if fate had it in for me, i would've met you again. but we haven't, so i guess it ain't in for us. but it's okay. because if there is everything in the world going in accordance to a plan, it's working right now for me. and someday, it'll come right across you.
everything now seems smaller and more insignificant. and all the more perfect. i am happy at this very moment and i hope it lasts. : )
it's movies like this that just make me want to fall in love. for the moment.
merry christmas.
