so I've re-watched Love me if you dare and Eternal Sunshine on a spotless mind since their ratings were so high and I was curious to see how different i might perceive them compared to the time i first watched them, much more innocent and naive
It is true that your perception changes, when time rolls by further in life with more layers adding up to your cynical view of the world and experiences
I first came across Love me if you dare as some movie trying to dramatize the plot in an effort to make love unforgettable and everlasting
and it was alien and unrealistic to me why one would make it so difficult to just be honest, frank and why they have to choose to commit suicide in the end for no clear reason
yet, i felt that it is absolutely sensible and inevitable an ending, now that I've joined the working adult world
when one can so easily loose themselves and get drown under the burden of responsibility, boring rules, commitment and cold logic, it makes perfect sense that they naturally yearn for something pure and impulsive at heart, with such passion and force that nothing could hold them back in an attempt to keep it sacred, untainted and immortal, out of the mundane boring routine and free from any logical reasoning and responsibility
that this obsession has the power to drive them to find their reunion in death
death does not do them apart but grants them the eternity of their love, without further obstruction of reality, of work, of future, of responsibility, of the so-called Life
it might sound so irresponsible at first but at some point when you get tired in this adult world, there'd be moments that you cant help but longing to put an end to these sufferings and the commitments, to be free and be true to you
to tell the truth, it captivates me in a much more realistic way than i could've ever thought it might be
the dark romance is magnetic i guess haha
and the lyrics of la vie en rose feels so apt and exceptionally real
Hold me close and hold me fast
The magic spell you cast
This is la vie en rose
.............
Let me write about Eternal sunshine on another day as my mood for writing ran out and I cant seem to get my mind out of Love me if you dare now haha
