so on amc forrest gump is being played all week at the same time & we've been watching it every night. one of my favorite scenes in the film is when jenny and forrest are reunited in their hometown. they're living together and are like peas and carrots again. they take a walk one day and come across her childhood home. its a quiet and run down old place where she holds memories of her fathers abuse. she starts walking towards it and picks up a rock and throws it at the house. she finds more rocks and continues throwing and a window breaks and she starts throwing her shoes. as she's throwing them she starts sobbing and falls to the ground. at this point forrest goes over to her and just sits. he doesn't try to comfort her or say something to ease her pain. he just sits and waits. then you hear tom hanks' narrative, alabama voice say: "Sometimes I guess there just aren't enough rocks." i think this is something i want. for someone to just sit and watch me throw rocks.
a few years ago i got to see the film i'm not there. it was when i was in my dylan phase where my whole realm surrounded everything that is dylan. anyways, i saw it and something clicked. i asked the people i was with what they thought about it and they were dumbfounded. only one said they liked cate blanchett's performance and saw nothing else of true art in the film. this was the scene that etched a sketch into my mind and made me wholeheartedly disagree.
Don't second guess your feelings you were right from the start And I notice she's your lover, but she's nowhere near your heart. This city is for strangers, like the sky is for the stars. But I think it's very dangerous if we do not take what's ours.
have you ever needed something to go away to realize how much you: missed it? loved it? adored it? cherished it?
after getting up early & having the bright sun wake me & walking back to my room at around noon with the sun high and dry & walking about around 5ish as the sun is setting with the small hint of the moon in the corner makes me thoroughly enjoy this nature that is our source of light. i appreciate the fact that this can be viewed anywhere in the world by any number of people and can experience it all the same at their same times of day. i miss my home. but i'm able to welcome these things even more once i'm there.
i just witnessed a girl yelling at her mom over the phone for caring too much.
i love my mom and my dad. i can talk to them about about anything & they give me wise advice. i'm lucky as hell to have these two in my life. on a lighter note... i love sesame street.
