Just when I thought I was over this, no more writing etc.. I even saw Chocolat - a movie that moved once so much, that I could never bear to see it again... I saw it yesterday and despite Juliet Binoche's moving rendition - it failed to make a dent in my emotional surface.. I was happy in a way.. quite happy to not be in this emotional state of heightened awareness.. I am happy to be an ordinary person..
But tonight, I saw this movie which caught me so off guard.. Like Sunday, like rain. It's about a precocious 12 yr old experiencing a connection perhaps for the first time in his life with a young nanny who was also a struggling musician, who had to sell her cornet for money.. the boy is also a musical genius and writes his own compositions and plays the cello..
the movie is so subtle.. no drama.. no mention of the word love or crush or anything.. but it celebrates the connection that people sometimes have.. and in particular a connection that is strengthened through the experience of music together.. the boy's acting is still, poignant.. he manages to convey a depth that belies his age.. and his wide eyes seems to see everything.
I loved it. Just like I love Sundays and rain :)
