The Blower's Daughter- Damien Rice


"Oh, as if you had no choice? There's a moment, there's always a moment, "I can do this, I can give into this, or I can resist it", and I don't know when your moment was, but I bet there was one."


i've soaked myself in 3 amazing films within the span of 2 days; first, Perth: A Geyland Massacre, then Closer, and Natural Born Killers.

Natural Born Killers is this classic directed by Oliver Stone, basically full of violence and gore and used by Stone to criticise violence in the media. you kinda just become awestruck after watching it, as it drops subtle hints of how everybody screws themselves up with the world put in violent films.

Perth is a local movie that lots of people are roaring about after its screening at Cine.Sg, and i've managed to rent the DVD. the funny part was that my mum's fiance was watching it with me; it's the first Singaporean film he has ever watched and the first phrase he prolly heard was "motherfucker".

I was most immersed in Closer, out of the 3 films. the irony, the language, the sarcasm, they make me gush and feel stupid for not realising how genuine and how fake relationships can be, simultaneously.

"How can one man be so endlessly disappointing?"
"That's my charm."

my favourite character has to be Alice, because i admire how she doesn't need things. she's one of those who makes split second decisions and simply doesn't look back.

what i'll do for that kind of courage.

when can we learn?

recently, i went out with you. you were all the wit and humour like when we were together, but you're not the same. even if you don't care for this, goodbye, i don't love you anymore.

oh, and i'm going to interview the producer of Perth tomorrow, so i'm tremendously excited. i've got a ton of questions for him. i hope he doesn't stand me up.


and this song is absolutely haunting, especially when it was playing in Closer. it's nostagically replaying in my ears.

And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky.
