Closer Judgments

Hmmm... for those who've not seen the movie, you won't get what I'll be saying yeah.

I'll cut the summary crap with just this two paragraphs:
Couple 1: Dan (played by Jude Law), Alice (played by Natalie Portman).
Couple 2: Larry a.k.a Sultan (played by Clive Owen), Anna (played by Julia Roberts)


It's a story of four complete strangers who got attracted to each other at an impulse. The couples switch and switched back and later things became wicked and cruel. Dunno if that was driven by circumstances and utter heartache or... everyone was utterly ignorant about what they really feel (*I know, it's just a movie!). Some reviews say there may be a middle ground in their actions somewhere, I don't agree. In the word brutal honesty, the word 'brutal' comes first.

Do you remember the scene where this dialogue took place:
Dan: (stood up, gazed at Anna while she stared back) Come here.
Anna hesitated... yet, walked slowly towards him.
Dan: You are beautiful (he whispered hard)
Anna: I don't kiss strange man.
Dan: Neither do I
Then they kissed passionately, they were practically inhaling each other.

Question: Have you ever just wanna seize the day when you think you might never get the chance again? this way?

Anna: Are you staying with her?
Dan: Yes....
.....bla, bla.
Anna: Men are crap!
Dan: But they're all the same.
Anna: They're still crap.
Anna: You're a muse.
Dan: You are in my life.
Anna: You'll GET OVER IT!

Is this a wicked question? Is it a universal standard to just settle for second best (to remain a singleton or find another) when you know someone who is still not married yet already has another when BOTH your insights say, 'this is it'?

Wouldn't you take the 'fittest wins' challenge or just live all your life with half of you dying inside knowing the other party will live her life that way too?

I wish Dan wasn't so arsed up about the alpha male game with Larry. It's more for the kings of the animals who can't voice out their emotions to find a middle ground if not a fair one. It's quite clear that what he has with Alice is not more than just a sentimental value.


My uncle once told me this:
Blind love, falls from the eyes right towards the heart.
Compatible love, springs from the heart and sparkles the eyes.
But True love has no conditions and without sacrifice.

Finding true love is like finding your soul mate. The possibilities is one in a thousand? million? Fight for it fiercely if you find it. We only live this life once!

Yeaaahhhh.... easier said than done eih?!
