Had a day for myself today while having to run a full day errands which i dont mind at all. i love running silly errands somehow. Love knowing the time is mine when am on errand run. Love packing schedules up all tightly minutes after the next and do everything on the list of To Do by the end of the day. It's one of my silly tiny pleasure of life. pathetic eh? Sure am. ;)
This day, i rewarded myself with a film if im left with enough time to slot a nice movie in after all the To Do list is done. Popped into the theatre and watched A Single Man by Tom Ford. Love it in a quiet way but with one great pity of missing the first 5 mins of the opening because the film started 5 min before i reached the box office. Major pity. Really hate to be late for a movie. The opening usually sets the mood for the story.
I havent watch a film by myself in a theatre for a long time and i miss it. Alot. i love how that span of time in the darken theatre is just between me and the film, that the choice of what film to watch is completely up to me and im not liable for any wastage of time cause to anyone who went into that dark room with me for about 120mins if it ended up being the stupidest movie in the world...nor will i be distracted from that thought of that body beside me fiddling and silently screaming how long more is this piece of shit gonna last? well, unless i know the person is keen on watching that particular movie too..then it's a different story altogether. :)
A Single Man is a perfect film to watch alone. Great dialogue, great story, great setting, great acting (subtly intense emotion) and great reason why the film is made in the first place. You can practically see the amount of care, love and thought put into the whole making of the film in many aspect making it nearly perfect (Nothing is absolutely perfect and this one is nearly perfect for me). The duration of the film is just nice too. Short one - about a 101 mins giving you no space for redundant scenes and plenty of space for personal afterthought. All scenes are specifically placed to show its essentiality, be it to show the exact emotion of the character, the connection between two roles or to flow the script of that single day the film is based on out in the slickest way. The whats, hows and whys that lead to the entire story enough to become a solid one.
Im in love with movies that focus on a single person with random collision of his or her life with another person, be it, a person who has always been there in his/her life or someone random who he/she happens to meet while maybe, buying a coffee off the street and the individual happen to stop and have a short conversation with. The magic of how unplan meetings of individuals change a single course or dissolve a single thought and play a role in altering the entire script of either lives' choices. This movie feeds straight into the core of my interest in that particular sense as well with so many other elements and subjects. Left me wanting for more and reminds me of why i love films so much in the first place.
