I thought I understood it, that I could grasp it, but I didn’t, not really. Only the smudgeness of it; the pink-slippered, all-containered, semi-precious eagerness of it. I didn’t realize it would sometimes be more than whole, that the wholeness was a rather luxurious idea. Because it’s the halves that halve you in half. I didn’t know, don’t know, about the in-between bits; the gory bits of you, and the gory bits of me. Anna, Like Crazy (via klipklapklep)

i have been on the biggest kick of watching indie movies lately.

i cannot help that i love them though. the storylines are intriguing and they actually make me feel something unlike the huge box office hits that production companies pump out and force feed America with (granted, I don’t mind some of those movies)

after taking my film class this semester i have a much deeper appreciate for film and all the interesting aspects to it. makes me want to explore film a bit more.

two movies in particular have captured my heart and forced me to experience many emotions through the dark and intense stories of these wonderfully crafted characters and plot lines are Like Crazy and The Yellow Handkerchief.

Of course, The Yellow Handkerchief I watched partially because of my strange infatuation with Kristen Stewart lately, but I was not expecting it to be as intriguing as it turned out to be. I was very skeptical of it since the story was a little odd, but as you watch you see how these three random strangers become each other’s shoulder to cry on. They find love and comfort within each other when they need it most. It turned out to be an extremely touching story. I cried.

As for Like Crazy, I am pretty sure I have found my new favorite movie. I couldn’t sing the praises enough for this movie. Perfect cinematography, absolutely stunning. And the story lines tugs at the heart strings and brings you back to the pains of that first love. The characters are deep and the chemistry between Anton Yelchin and Felicity Jones is remarkable. Cannot wait to add this movie to my collection. (as a side note, this movie makes me want to own a loft in California, or a flat in London. Basically it makes me want to runaway and be a hipster).

I think what I love most about these movies though is the actors do such a magnificent job portraying real people. Yelchin and Jones really in all seriousness seem like a young couple falling in love with their first love. The chemistry was…powerful. It was strong and wonderful and left one yearning for their first love. I feel that film is suppose to do that. It needs to make one feel something. Along with the relationship between William Hurt, Eddie Redmayne, and Kristen Stewart. The three together portray lost souls, honestly looking for some acceptance, some love and comfort wherever they can find it, and miraculously they find it within themselves. Independent movies just do a great job at bringing real people to screen and helping the audience relate to this deep and touching characters.

That feeling of ambiguity is a very complex feeling especially when you don’t know what’s going on with your relationship. It’s just a cold, weird sad feeling, not sad in a heartbreaking way but just sad. You don’t feel like crying necessarily but you feel kind of lost. Anton Yelchin (via lyndseymueller)

i love the director for choosing to have this part be stills that flash by us. it makes my heart melt.

a must see on my list. i don’t know what it is with me a Kristen Stewart lately. Something about her acting draws me to her. She is not exactly brilliant, but she has this aura about her. She does a good job at portraying damaged, lost characters. It worries me that I cannot see her as anything else though. She is definitely going to be typecasted if she does not find a way to get into other films and show he strengths in other genres.
