You don’t know how much you mean to me

I’m on my way to the USA

So give me your address

And I will send you

The only white dove from New York City

To call out your zip code in the Grand Canyon

I know you don’t really read my letters

The very thought of not knowing

The exact location of the room

Where we shared our last kiss

Will eventually kill me

Cause it wasn’t just any kiss

It wasn’t like our first

Or our second kiss

Or our millionth kiss

But it was a perfect kiss

It was a kiss we had been working on forever

I guess I should be ashamed

I’ve already caused so much trouble

I had something going on with another girl

And then another one after that

I just couldn’t get you out of my head

So I grew tired of them

You know, I had I plan that involved you

But maybe that’s not a very good idea

Cause I know you have a guy now

And I know that you’re happy

Living your life the way you do

And I’m not here to ask you to change your life

I guess I just wanna let you know how I feel about you

I just wanna go on with my life you know

I’m in Bloomington tonight and I miss you

Feels like all I’ve accomplished means nothing

Feels like my whole existence and history has been erased

I opened up a sealed envelope and it contained an eternity

Of memories that I’ve never experienced

So I can't explain this in one sentence now

I just keep going on

You know, I had a plan

That involved getting on with my life

But maybe that’s not a very good idea

I’m alone now

I would be so afraid if someone put their arms around me

You don’t know how much you mean to me

time to break away

sorry to hear about the burdens.
when i'm in situations like these i usually go to the highest place i can find and evaluate the situation. i stand there on a rooftop or a mountain, whatever is close by, and weigh one thing against another against myself.
there's something in the air up there.
you will know when it's time to break away.
yours in the fight.

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

I guess I can appreciate the idea of this film, and its importance during the period of cold war and assassination of JFK.
But I think it's a bit overrated. Maybe I just don't like the film that much. I guess I can never be a Stanley Kubrick's fan.

However, I love the comical parts in the film. Such as the conversations between Mr. President and Dimitri. It's just ludicrous. And Dr Strangelove's classic strange behaviors and talks. The ratio of ten woman to each man. And Major Kong's orgasm while riding the nuclear bomb. But the most spectacular thing about this film is Peter Sellers, he plays three characters in this film including Captain Mandrake/ Mr President/ Dr Strangelove. If I didn't watch the making of the film, I have no idea that they were just one person. Marvelous!

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)

Paris, Texas (1984) 巴黎德州

我希望我可以用言語來表達我有多愛這部電影。

我看的是DVD，重新經過處理過得畫面。他媽的簡直美得不像話。就算說它是充滿詩意的畫面，可能都不能解釋它到底有多美。配上 Ry Cooder 那充滿孤寂的藍調吉他，在德州這荒野真是他媽的讚！

故事本身也是超級。超級的棒！看著 Travis 背對著他老婆，緩緩道出他們的過去，將本片一開始丟出的謎團一一解開。這一幕真的...太棒了。非常非常的感人。還有這片的主角 Travis 不斷的提到他的母親，和家人包括他爸和他哥哥／弟弟。這點也是我非常喜歡的。

在IMDB蒐尋過後，發現Kurt Cobain 最喜歡的電影就是這部片。我想這是可以理解的。Nastassja Kinski在片裡的形象跟現實生活中的Courtney Love 非常相似。就連那個金髮小男孩都與Kurt Cobain好相似。

聽過 Wim Wenders 這名字好幾次了，其中包括受小津安二郎影響的導演。這是我的第一部。非常非常的 impressed。

在 Wiki 搜尋過後，發現了：
1. M83 在同名專輯的 "She Stands Up" 裡採樣了這部電影的對白，並且一直不斷的repeat。
2. U2 把這部電影視為創作他們經典專輯 The Joshua Tree 的主要靈感。看完這部電影，在看看專輯的曲名，"I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"，"Running to Stand Still"，"Mothers of the Disappeared"，"With or Without You"。It could not be any clearer。
3. Primal Scream 在首張經典專輯 Screamadelica 裡的 "I'm Comin' Down" 的末端也取樣了Nastassja Kinski 的話 "Yup, I know that feeling"。
4. Travis 也自己聲稱他們的團名是來自這部電影的主角。
5. Elliott Smith 也說過這是他這輩子最愛的電影之一。

靠，這些資訊嚇到我了。當我在圖書館挑到這部片時，只想說＂嗯，是 Wim Wenders 的片。看一下好了。＂

題外話，昨天看的電影 (Fargo) 跟今天看的都有不講話的人。 "I can be silent too you know!"

Fargo (1996)

I love this movie. Hilarious. Scary. Realistic. Beautiful.
Frances McDormand won Oscar for her role in this movie.
She deserves it. It's just a wonderful character, and well-portrayed.
This is a interesting quote: [On how she got the part in Fargo (1996)] "The fact that I'm sleeping with the director may have something to do with it." Haha...
Steve Buscemi... Haha, the funny-looking guy in general kind of way. He's just so funny...
And the yah yah yah...the funny accent!

God, I love Coen Brothers' dark comedies!

here you go, my world is sincerely yours

I wish I have this song...

We're born to live this kind of life
Life of desperation and seperation
