babble, endless

As always ramble, endless dialogue. There are no stories in real life and emotions, some are just details, only one can perceive them, but they are hidden from the outside, neither strong nor bland, the inner wishes and fluctuations. So much dialogue is a luxury for real life and emotion. Life has no explanations and waves, and some are just ordinary and looking back on the past many years later, and will only express the indifference of "it should be like this".
The crooked Rohmer has not yet achieved the ability to express ordinary life in few words. If such a movie can be made, it should be a movie in essence, expressed in light and shadow rather than dialogue.

Claire's Knee quotes

  • Laura: I was born to be unhappy. But no, I won't be unhappy. I'm very happy. I only think of positive things. People are unhappy because they want to be. When I feel down, I think about how there are happy times and that crying does no good anyway. I think about how marvelous it is to be here and how much fun I'm going to have.

    Jerome: What do you call having fun?

    Laura: Having fun is being alive. For instance, today I'm very happy. Tomorrow I may be sad. So then I make myself think of something else. I concentrate on one specific thing and how fantastic it is, and I'm happy for the rest of the day.

  • Aurora, the novelist: I find all men attractive. That's why I can't pick one. Why one and not another? I need a reason to choose one specific man. Since I can't have them all, I prefer to do without any.
