sometimes awful things have their own kind of beauty

 

"A few times in my life I've had moments of absolute clarity, when for a few brief seconds the silence drowns out the noise and I can feel rather than think, and things seem so sharp and the world seems so fresh. I can never make these moments last. I cling to them, but like everything, they fade. I have lived my life on these moments. They pull me back to the present, and I realize that everything is exactly the way it was meant to be."

beautiful cinematography, hot men: colin firth, lee pace, matthew goode, nicholas hoult, wonderful script, 60s hair and fashion, british accents... it was such a good movie!!! it almost made me want to be a gay man. lol just kidding. it's such a haunting piece of work, it lingers even after several days of having watched it. i can't stop thinking about the ending, and how much i feel i relate to george. it's such a wonderful study on character, and i love how the movie is about these different people connecting, not as man and woman or man and man, but as human beings.
