Weekend

This weekend can be sure divided into 2 parts: a movie part and a thinking part.

I started to watch 6 movies, but was able to watch only 3 of them up to the end. First I finally watched “Casanova” up to the end. I started it one week ago and didn’t finish it, but not because of being bored – I just was so tired that I fell asleep and then I couldn’t find time to watch it, because the week was just crazy J So on Saturday I was able to watch the Casanova movie up to the end. And I really enjoyed it – a well done historical romantic comedy. It brings such an atmosphere with it …last time I felt this atmosphere when watching “Shakespeare in love” – another great movie for sure ;)

After “Casanova” I watched one old Russian, well… Soviet film (one of my favorites) “Moscow doesn’t believe in tears” – a great film about 3 women who came to Moscow to conquer the capital. A big movie about friendship, love, life. This movie can make u feel, can make you think about your life. After watching this movie I tried to start another one and another one and another one… but I couldn’t  - I couldn’t concentrate on anything, but the movie I’ve just have seen. You know – the main character of this movie, when being 40 had everything in her life – a well paid job, a good daughter, a flat, a car – which was really a lot for UdSSR in that time… she had everything except for love, she even didn’t realize that she needed it. I tell you these all because I want to prepare you to the scene that made the biggest impression on me while watching the film this time… She met a man, and after 2 days of their acquaintance he came to her to the dinner. Her daughter asked him whether he and her mother were working together. Remarkable I find his answer: “Well… we work in different places but I hope we will live together” – pity I cant reproduce here his intonation… that was great … after 44 hours of knowing the woman he took a decision like a man that he will live with her. Even 6 months ago I would have said – he is just a crazy one, a one who wants to dominate in the relationship. But today I would like to have a man who will be able to take all the decisions because I am tired of being strong and making all the decisions in my life. I want the one who can walk in my life and just will say “Well… we work in different places but I hope we will live together” ;))

moscow does not believe in tears....

i remember after watching that movie being impressed at the strength of soviet women. it was one of those movies which leaves a lasting impression on a person.. that you shouldn't give up hope on eventually finding someone who loves you. it was also interesteing how a woman can overcome difficult obstacles to rise up into a powerful position and still yield her status for love.
being alone at the top of a very tall ladder is a great accomplishment but having someone hold the bottom of it to keep you from falling will leave you with a better feeling.
i love you, lena and have a wonderful day.

I don't
