So, I signed up for Netflix again! Yea! So far we have only gotten two movies, but they were both really good! We got The Nanny Diaries & Stranger Than Fiction... I had wanted to see both and they both turned out to be even better then I thought! I love that!
So, anyway, maybe this is a little "cheesy", but I am ok with that, because I still feel that it is worth sharing. I think sometimes people hold back too much, because they are afraid people will think they are "cheesy"... I don't wanna do that...
So... I like a lot of different kinds of movies, but I really like movies for their words… specific words... I like to, kind of, collect words and sayings in my head and written down, to kind of capture something with meaning in life... So, tonight my sister & I watched Stranger Than Fiction... which I thought was a very smart, funny and beautiful movie... with Will Farrell! Anyway... there were some great things said in that movie, in a very artistic & poetic way, & I guess they just had that special kind of meaning to me…
So here they are…
Dr. Jules Hilbert: " Harold, you could just eat nothing but pancakes if you wanted."
Harold Crick: "What is wrong with you? Hey, I don't want to eat nothing but pancakes, I want to live! I mean, who in their right mind, in a choice between pancakes and living, chooses pancakes?"
Dr. Jules Hilbert: "Harold, if you pause to think, you'd realize that that answer is inextricably contingent upon the type of life being led... and, of course, the quality of the pancakes."
&
Kay Eiffel: "As Harold took a bite of Bavarian sugar cookie, he finally felt as if everything was going to be ok. Sometimes, when we lose ourselves in fear and despair, in routine and constancy, in hopelessness and tragedy, we can thank God for Bavarian sugar cookies. And, fortunately, when there aren't any cookies, we can still find reassurance in a familiar hand on our skin, or a kind and loving gesture, or subtle encouragement, or a loving embrace, or an offer of comfort, not to mention hospital gurneys and nose plugs, an uneaten Danish, soft-spoken secrets, and Fender Stratocasters, and maybe the occasional piece of fiction. And we must remember that all these things, the nuances, the anomalies, the subtleties, which we assume only accessorize our days, are effective for a much larger and nobler cause. They are here to save our lives. I know the idea seems strange, but I also know that it just so happens to be true. And, so it was, a wristwatch saved Harold Crick."
I would recommend seeing Stranger Than Fiction!
