トニー滝谷 Tony Takitani (2004)

This film was based on Haruki Murakami’s short story. The main themes and, i guess, pattern of this movie: Loneliness, love, death, loneliness, a possibility of a new love.

I originally planned to watch this movie to brush up on my Japanese and ended up feeling like curling up into a ball and think about being alone. I am also now intrigued as to how Haruki Murakami writes. I have never read any of his works because in our Japanese Literature class, our professor - well…let’s just say no positive conclusions were drawn from the discussions. I was foolish enough not to bother finding out for myself if he is a good read or not.

For Ellen (2012)

I’m going to put aside swooning over Paul Dano for a moment and say something about the film. It’s slow and morose - not in a negative way. I enjoyed the scenes where Joby Taylor (Paul Dano) spends time with his daughter who he has never seen before especially when he had to explain his absence to her. There were many, many scenes where he was silent and contemplative and I was dying to know what he was thinking just like how he wanted to know everything about his daughter (who was also silent and parsimonious with her words) in a span of two hours.

As suggested by Fuyoh, I watched this movie again last night. I remember seeing it before but only bits of it.

LIP SYNC OFF BTW JOHN KRASINSKI AND JIMMY FALLON?!

My favorite thing. Does anyone know these guys? Let them know Dannielle and I are available for duets. Thanks, bye.

I laughed my ass off. John Krasinski lip syncing to Teenage Dream.

Little Miss Sunshine (2006)

I don’t think I appreciated this film the first time I saw it. I was roughly 15 or 16 years old. I assumed it was funny and light because Steve Carell is starring in it which is ironic because Steve Carell’s character here is depressed and had attempted suicide. It had humor in it but not the slapstick or hyperbolic kind. And it was light in a sense that the flaws of the characters didn’t really drag you down and choked you in their misery no matter how in-your-face they were.

You know what? I don’t know what I’m talking about. Watch it.
