Breathless

The other night I was watching Vanilla Sky (yes, I've seen the original movie Abre Los Ojos, also starring Penelope Cruz) however I prefer VS and believe it to be Cameron Crowe's best film. I was thinking about what images I'd use for my life if I was able to relive my life during my death. Of course I would want to relive images of my childhood, and paste my husband somewhere in there so that we can be classmates and run/play together. I'd also want to relive moments with my son...playing in the mud with pokemon toys, building forts, and pretending i'm Eyore and he is Pooh, sitting in the middle of the kitchen, coloring and eating cookies (the little things).

then of course, there are the romantic images that i'd like to place myself in, just like the image above of Jean Seberg and Jean-Paul Belmondo in Godard's film BREATHLESS.

There is another image of a song, that I would like to be a part of my afterlife:

SAVE ME by Aimee Mann because I feel for all the sadness in the world, and I first heard this song from the film Magnolia by PT Anderson. This was one of the most beautiful films I've ever watched, not just to say that I watched it alone, but the theater was completely empty and dark, and here I was sitting in a dark theater, alone watching Magnolia (a clearly depressing film) but with music so beautiful it turned a depressing film, into something of a present..a gift,because I knew that unlike the people in the film, I wasn't alone and I wasn't hurting, but only feeling pain for those who go through life full of pain and sorrow. Sad but beautiful.
