Movie, music and me
I was in the movie mood.
It was not too hard to choose one: Cinderella Man. Yes sounds a little cheesy but I like Russell Crowe. I don`t care if he has been accused of being hot tempered or fighting with people in the bar, I am not paying him for playing himself. I like the roles that he has played in the unrealistic world. Renée Zellweger is one of my favorites too. For me, she is not extremely beautiful, but she has her own charm and the way she speaks always amaze me.
I would say the film itself did not surprise me. Another typical Hollywood movie. I even did not worry about the ending because the title told everything. It was always like that: The hero would be beat to death (oh almost death), the enemy would appear strong and powerful; the hero would flash some sweet words or great expectations from a beloved, the enemy would show his terrible aggressive look; the hero would give the last punch and claim the victory, and the audience would be cheering for that….then “ The end” would appear on the screen leaving some innocent ones sobbing in the theatre…(Oh I am often one of them, not for this one though)
However I was still touched, not by the old-fashion plot, but by the love existing between the couple. No grand gestures, no eloquent speech, just a simple glance, a simple hand-in-hand, a simple kiss…the understanding and the tremendous trust…the love never diminished even facing the situation of surviving…I don’t need people to tell me:” hey young lady, wake up, it is just a movie!” Yes I know, but I do believe in true love in life. In fact in my whole life I would strive for that. I would be happy if I don’t lose the ability to love. If no love, it is close to death.
I used to envy those actors and actresses simply because they have a lot more opportunities to live other people’s life, experiencing their emotions, feelings, love and hatred. Yet on my way home, I turned on the radio, a beautiful melody flew out and all of sudden my heart was kind of wrung inside out…
Home by Michael Bublé
Another summer day
has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
MmmmmmmmMay be surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh I miss you, you knowAnd I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
“I’m fine baby, how are you?”
Well I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than thatAnother aeroplane
Another sunny place
I’m lucky I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I’ve got to go homeLet me go home
I’m just too far from where you are
I wanna come homeAnd I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life
It’s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
But this was not your dream
But you always believed in meAnother winter day has come
And gone away
iN EiTHER Paris OR Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go homeAnd I’m surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel alone
Oh, let ME go home
Oh, I miss you, you knowLet me go home
I’ve had my run
Baby, I’m done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It'll all be all right
I’ll be home tonight
I’m coming back home
The word” I feel like I am living someone’s life” caught me then I can’t help but wonder: Maybe no matter how wonderful others’ life would be, we have to come back to live our own; maybe it is better to live our own life with solid footprints…
