iL Postino



This felt so much like Cinema Paradiso... the simile and metaphor discussion scene and the scene with poem on sea are my favorites... the conversations are great through out. I became an instant fan of Neruda... read somewhere from his work... "Love is short,
forgetting is so long." such formations of simple words to express complex fuzzy feelings that every mortal feels but cant get the right words to express... sure resonate... and we instantly see the poet reading our heart...
Neruda apart, these movies really make you want to instantly take a U turn and do-it now... like Motorcycle Diaries make you want to go on your life's trip, Il Postino makes you want to express beyond the regular logic of words...

Motorcycle Diaries



Shame on me I didnt see this movie before... been lazy. Its an awesome movie that shows how two people go on a trip, and one allow the experiences to inspire him while the other remains numb. Felt that life in general gives us so many opportunities to become heroes but we just choose to be numb...
And Gustavo's music is awesome through out...
