Have you caught "The Willow Tree" at The Picturehouse (The Cathay) yet? It's playing till this Wednesday, but it's good even though its screening is so limited.
I went to catch it today. Wanted to go with some friends but they wanted to watch another movie, so I ended up going alone. It wasn't a loss, really. They wanted to watch "Dead Silence", which I have absolutely no interest in. I definitely couldn't force them to watch "The Willow Tree" with me, so I told them to go without me.
It's much easier not having to worry about what anyone else wants, and I've said that before.
It was a beautiful movie, even though it was in Persian. There were definitely some moments to cry about. I don't understand why the audience was so small, it's a great movie! Maybe it just needed more publicity. The movie is just so... human. I don't know how else to put it. There isn't much of a soundtrack, so I, part of the audience, could actually be there and experience what the character is/was going through in the movie. Very very beautiful.
Made me think a lot. I finally know how lucky I am to be able to see perfectly. Of course, there's all the others as well, like hearing, tasting, feeling and speaking. But think of all the things you'd see in the world if you'd be living in a totally dark one for more than 30 years. In your mind, a simple garden could be paradise.
Inspiring. It makes me want to go blind! Literally. I may just try in the future.
