Eternal Sunshine.


I always wanted to go here. I think its montauk. i love the way it looks. the colors. and the silence of it. My friend and i always joke that we should just skip work one day and just take the train there.

a bande aparte

I love this scene from Band of Outsiders. I really like the 'remake' of it in the Dreamers as well. I love Anna Karena in this movie. She's so beautiful and fresh. and Eva Green and Louis Garrel are super in the Dreamers..and it looks super fun to run through the louvre..

Un Homme et Une Fille



A simple yet complex love story. What i love best is the way it's filmed. it's so pretty, a beautiful washed out film and at times looks like a home movie (in a good way) and it has anouck aimee in it. wow.

Happy Together

Probably one of the most honest love stories i've ever seen. truthful, romantic and heartbreaking. Cinematography by christopher doyle really makes this movie even more beautiful. music tugs at your soul and just wonderful performances. 4:55 into this clip is one of my favorite scenes in movies. made me and my friend samson decide argentina is the place to be for chinese people.



bonus: this is where i want to live. in the movie millenium mambo. this movie seemed so real to me, but this town in japan.Yubari. where it looks so cold, but has a street with old movie posters. wow.

Isn't Life Strange?

Isn't life strange?
we walk in the dark
sarah and julie look up in the park
( fallin oooohhh)
jessica cries
she's got nothing to add
i sit beside her, but nobody's there
spin me round..
i'm fallin
spin me round..
i'm fallin

isn't life strange?
you end up alone
i call my folks,
but there's nobody home
spin me round..
i'm fallin
spin me round..
i'm fallin

8 1/2

This movie strangely resonated with me, as if part of it reflected my own fears and shortcomings.

Cinema Paradiso

I'll be posting my favorite clips from movies..
the first one is from Cinema Paradiso... a love affair not only with a woman, but the love of love. a more innocent time as well.
the ending montage really drives the story home.

It's Pretty..

"Oh, Jake," Brett said, "we could have had such a damned good time together"

Ahead was a mounted policeman in khaki directing traffic. He raised his baton. The car slowly suddenly pressing Brett against me.

"Yes," I said. "Isn't it pretty to think so?"

-Ernest Hemingway.
