feast of love

one bored sato evening i scrolled through my movie selection and landed on this one 'feast of love,' clicked play.... and the opening narration got me hooked 'there is a story about the greek gods. They were bored, so they invented human beings, but they were still bored, so they invented love. Then they weren't bored any longer, so they decided to try love for themselves. And finally they invented laughter, so they could stand it. 'and i watched it till the end, i was totally enthralled at the different facets of love portrayed and brought to us through the eyes of an old sage dispensing advise to a bunch of 'love-seekers' (morgan freeman plays that part)anyway so i was scanning my hard disk to see what movies to review for my next Flair issue and i figured, why not?well if you havent seen the movie ama paste in a few quotes form it, it may inspire you to look for it....well, i also thought it had too much bad manners...but its a lovely movie!Bradley Thomas: Do you think love is a trick or do you think that it's the only meaning there is to this crazy dream?Margaret Vekashi: Which do you believe?Bradley Thomas: The second one. Bradley Thomas: What's making you smile like that?Margaret Vekashi: Looking out the window, an unusual man, an innocent man, an open-hearted man. Someone who has given tremendous love, but never had it returned, not in the way he deserves. Esther Stevenson: How was your walk? Did I miss anything?Harry Stevenson: A cool breeze, a softball game, and two women falling in love.Esther Stevenson: With each other?Harry Stevenson: And one of them is married. The funny thing is, nobody noticed. Not even the husband, two feet away.Esther Stevenson: [chuckles] I'm sorry I missed that.[entering the coffee shop]Chloe Barlow: Hey, you need anybody to work here?Oscar: [to Bradley] Yes! Yeah. I mean, if that's all right with you.Bradley Thomas: You... You have any experience with this kind of work?Chloe Barlow: No.Oscar: [interrupting] Neither did I when I started.Bradley Thomas: Do you like coffee?Chloe Barlow: Not much.Oscar: [interrupting again] She'll learn to love it.Chloe Barlow: But why here?Chloe Barlow: I don't know. I just kind of felt a harmonic convergence in this place.Oscar: She's right, you know? I felt the same kind of thing.Bradley Thomas: [looking confused] Ah. Harry Stevenson: I imagine he will be, too. [Bradley and Harry are sitting on the bench by the football field reminiscing of the past year and a half]Harry Stevenson: God is either dead or he despises us.Bradley Thomas: You don't really believe that.Harry Stevenson: Maybe. I saw the most remarkable thing just now. I wandered into the stadium, I thought I was alone but down on the 50-yard line there was a couple making love. I watched for longer then I should have. I was envious. And then I felt sorry for them. There's so much they don't know. Heartbreak they can't even imagine.Bradley Thomas: [sighs] Well, even if they knew, it wouldn't change anything.Harry Stevenson: How so?Bradley Thomas: Well, Chloe knew what was gonna happen to Oscar.Harry Stevenson: What do you mean she knew?Bradley Thomas: She did. She went to some psychic lady who predicted the whole thing.Harry Stevenson: She believed her?Bradley Thomas: Yes, Harry. She did. And she didn't run away. She didn't crawl into a hole. She found them a house, she threw away her birth control, and she married him. God doesn't hate us, Harry. If he did, he wouldn't have made our hearts so brave. Harry Stevenson: Sometimes you don't know you've crossed a line until you're already on the other side. Of course, by then it's too late. have a great weekend!
