eastwood

Watching good movies leaves me dumbfounded.
If I appreciate any art at all, let it be films.
So many shows have rendered me speechless aft the credits roll...
Hotel Rwanda, Constantine, The Pianist...
And today,
Million Dollar Baby.

Not sure wat it was that was so absolutely spellbinding abt this show.
But it sure made me very contemplative...
I think Clint Eastwood has this contemplative, sensitive approach that illuminates his films.

I thought.... how many pp lead lives like Hilary Swank's character?
What does it take for a woman to have the temperament and grit of a boxer?
To take punches in the ring? To bleed and box 24/7?
And if someone really has a life like tat, how would he/she turn out?
Where would all that feeling of injustice go?
Is God playing fair?
It jus makes you so sad.

And the dialogue was so nice to listen to.
So real... it doesn't sound scripted.

My heart ached while watching the show.
It's sometimes so painful to learn of pp less fortunate than urself....
Maybe that's why we like to keep in our lil bubble and imagine the world works like ours.

Watching good movies always makes me like tat.
It leaves me in a trance for quite a while...and its so hard to switch perspectives and get back to ground.
