wolven7 | The very merry month of "May."

Went over to the collective domicile of

not_hothead_yet,

cryptickisses,

ladylabyrinth,

aka_baphomet, and

the_yellow_king, all adjunct mini-humans, and the non-human Feline Personages of Thelma and Julie, this evening, for the purposes of filmic viewings. This was most Certainly time well spent, and i have a few things to say, on this score. We were accompanied, in this adventure by several other people, all of whom were interesting coversationalists, with much in the way of thought capacity. We viewed two films, in each other's company, and we enjoyed them both, with much to discuss, afterwards. The films in question were "Paycheck," and "May."

I will definately say that "Paycheck" was better than i thought it would be, with only one moment that made me scream "Damn You, John Woo!" See the movie, and you'll know what i mean. But that's not what i'm here to say to you, this evening. Though you may *ahem* have guessed that, from the subject line...

"May" is a film about a 20-something year old girl, May, with no friends, except a Doll, given to her by her mother. She works in a veterinary clinic, as a Vet Assistant, helping with surgeries, and anything else. She's never had a human friend, and she's never had a boyfriend. She's awkward, shy, no one understands her, and her best friend-- the doll, Susie-- talks to her. We don't get to hear what she says, mind you, only May's responses.

This movie... I knew what was going to happen, in the first five minutes, from clips, and images... But that didn't matter. It was an amazing film, and it is most Certainly not for everyone. Though i still think you shoud see it, no matter who you are. ;) Do not fall into the trap of only looking at reviews of it, or only paying attention to the genre. See it. Dissect it, for yourself, and enjoy it, if you do, don't, if you don't. There are many layers of symbolism.

I will be buying this movie, next chance i get.

That said, i'm tired. Time for bed, and i'll see you all, in the daylight.

Dream Well
