Elsa y Fred (Elsa and Fred), Movie 2005, Directed by Marcos Carnevale

I just got home from the movies and I have to say I have not been so moved and touched by a movie in recent years. I even would go as far as to say that I have never been as touched by a movie ever before...

The movie is about Elsa, a 77 year old woman and Fred a 76 year old guy. Elsa lives alone and divorced but she always states that her husband died and on the other side there is Fred who recently lost his wife. Fred always did what he had to do in life and when his wife dies movies into the appartment next to Elsa. Elsa is a dialyses patient which means her days are pretty much over but still these two manage to fall in love and Elsa shows Fred what it takes to live, really live no matter how old you are and that it depends on how you feel...

The acting is brilliant in a normal way which means this is not a hollywood movie. The storyline is sweet and never gets cheesy or too much hollywood like...it is like a painting with very decent lines that draw each character.

Overall I have to say this is really one of the sweetest touching and wonderful movies ever made and to be honest you have to see the movie for yourself to really understand what I mean.

The movie also made me reconsider and think about my own life and everything that happens and happened in it so far...not in a good or bad way but just to think...

Some escape some door to open
this path seems the blackest but i
guess it's the soonest
but there in the clearing i
know you'll be wearing
your young aching smile and
waving your hand
can't go with my heart when i
can't feel what's in it i
thought you'd come over
but for some reason you didn't
glass on the pavement under my shoe
without you is all my life amounts to

a final sleep no
words from my cutting
mouth to your ear or
taut wicked pinches
from my fingers to your bitter face
that i can't heal
i know tomorrow
you will be
somewhere in london
living with someone
you've got some kind of family
there to turn to
and that's more than i could ever give you

a chance for calm
a hope for freedom
outlet from my cold solitary kingdom
by the forest of our spring stay
where you walked away
and left a bleeding part of me
empty and bothered
watching the water
quiet in the corner
numb and falling through
without you what does my life amount to

What an unsuspected thing...my new found obsession the Goo Goo Dolls are number 1 on the list...wow, I am suprised...

So here it is,

another story of rambling, arguing and fighting with myself in my mind. I mean I just added all the Cds I bought this week and i have to say it scared me...it really fucking scared me because it is just too much...no offense I love music but the fear is creeping up my back that this is not a healthy thing anymore...

I mean it is like smoking or other stuff that is addictive...I just have this panic that one day i wake up and i am broke but still i have my Cds with me or so...wahhh...scary...

So long for now...

long live the quiet phobia!!!

I'm broken down
You caved my karma in
I'm staying up
Waiting for you like a fool

You made me forget
About all the dreams I kept
I keep your glass hand
By the bed we slept

I can't erase your smokey eyes
Your smothered face
Gripping on my waist
Leaving a ghost
Upon the Oregon Coast

And on the floors
Of a crashed porch

Who can pretend
That there's a beginning without an end?
It ain't contrived
All this magic in our lives
Comes down like a storm
Then drizzles then dies

Your soul is free
But you're the one I need
And you made your deal
But you're still my ideal

And so I wait
And so I choose this fate
And store your shape
In my electric bed

Who can pretend
That there's a beginning without an end?
It ain't contrived
All the magic in our lives
Comes down like a storm
Then drizzles then dies

The new tour dates are announced...wohooo 4 shows in Germany which means 4 chances to see Ryan live...being patient.
