Delusion Angel

phew!
was just made to see this movie called "before sunrise".i knew before i watched it that it was a regular romantic movie.somehow i was kinda weary to watch it but also curious.
when someone said romantic movie... i was always reminded of "love actually" , "pretty woman" , "notting hill" and "sweet november". though they were all different they all somehow invoked a similar kinda feeling in me.
the strange "not so real", "very very sweet" kinda feeling.it was weird and somehow i don't get too excited about watching such movies.
then today i saw this movie.it was quite unreal. but there was something strange and different about it. it was just about this one day two people spend together. and other than the scenic locales(are always there in the hindi movies... but i think it would be really really close to a sin if i start comparing)...so other than the scenic locales there nothing really in the movie but pure conversations. its stunning how they manage to hold your attention. how you end up thinking, and smiling and frowning just listening to two other people talking. its not even too much action, no singing and dancing and watching some funky play or anything of the sort... its just two people walking in the streets and having a conversation.
i did not think something of this sort would ever appeal to me. but somehow its lingering. some parts which seems so normal when i saw them come back and all i can do is try to fill in some reason into my thoughts but all i do is WOW. strange that something that simple is sticking.i HAVE to mention this piece of poetry that was from it...its beautiful!

watched the movie and loved it! glad i trusted your judgement :-)

i'm sure 'JAB WE MET', on some level, must've drawn inspiration from this :-)

simple, sweet and brilliantly executed!

thanks man!
