films

i like to lose myself watching films. im glad that i have corporate access to moma. this is the coolest perk of my job. Wristcutters-A Love Story - "This could be the first film to express the philosophy that real growing up takes the courage to die first." Very well said. It is not disturbing after watching this film but film for thought: we, at least me, may be taking our lives for granted. life after life is worst off, so why am i not appreciating more of what i have?

had a throbbing headache after the first film but i was glad i stayed on for the next film- The Great Happiness Space: Tale of an Osaka Love Thief . this is a documentary filmed in Osaka, Japan, on the host boys culture in Japan. it was done by a first-time american director, so perhaps he may not be the best guy to talk about this. moreover, i do not understand japanese and relied on the english subtitles. it was still refreshing. i found it heart wrenching, yet amusing to know that most of the clients of this Cafe Rakkyo are "fuzukus" and they spurged their hard-earned money on these host boys. how ironic life can be.

i did lose myself in the second film, literally in many ways.
