After Sex

I dont't mean this to be a movie review, but I've been watching a few recently, and I've been dazzled by 2 above and I have to talk about it. 5 movies in a week is a big deal for me. I'm hardly a movie buff.

I was blown away by P.S. I Love You and After Sex. P.S. amazed me because of it's sheer romance - a love beyond the grave, or perhaps despite it. There were some themes in the movie that made me revisit feelings and thoughts forgotten or blocked. My tears were welled up in my eyes the whole time, but I refused to let them fall. I thought it would be a sort of defeat. I refuse to allow myself to relate to something so painful; and so beautiful.

Oh how silly I am.

But the idea of pure unadulterated love, faith and destiny, magic, the mystery of life, serendipity.....it was all in this movie. And I was struck hardest by the letter that she read by the fort - about their first meet.

I kept thinking - that's MY fairytale. That's how I want to fall in love - headfast, hard, suddenly and forever. It was a beautiful movie. Beautiful beyond belief but in an aching sorta way.

I L.O.V.E.

And then there was 'After Sex.' As the title suggests, it was about conversations couples have after....sex. It features 9 couples - lesbian, gay, old, young, teenage, married, illicit affairs.

And the type of conversations really make you think. Sex is very very intimate, and conversations after tend to come for a place deep down. (heh, I'm quite funny)....no seriously...and they're devoid of concrete walls and defenses.

I loved it for the idea of it. If you're into the detailed tiny quirks that make you ponder, you'll like this one.

The last worth mentioning I think is Juno. It just broke the mould of everything normal - was as 'real' as it gets and somehow made sense in the end. I liked it for it's intelligence that only hits after a while.

Okay, I'm done. Toodles.
