So i'm pretty sure that i've elaborated on the fact that i LOVE postsecret.com. Today a great secret was posted about the ending scene of an old movie that i have long adored, Brief Encounters it's about a doctor and a housewife who have a doomed affair. The soundtrack is brilliant *Rachmaninov, i swear that man can make me weep without hardly trying*. The movie perfectly captures to me what it is to embrace that old saying "'Tis better to have loved and lost. Than never to have loved at all." i understand that this is all so cheesy and ridiculously over-dramatized but screw it. Yes, i love old romance movies. i love classical piano. i love poetry. i understand that this makes me slightly strange and such a "woman".. But honestly people..how can you not love these things?
Just listen to this....from beginning to end...open up your windows, let the breeze come through your house. Play this loudly with no television playing in the background. Do the dishes, make yourself lunch...do whatever the fuck you want to...but make sure you listen from beginning to end and then try to tell me that this is not beautiful.
Then watch this clip from Brief Encounters.
If you're smart, you'll netflix it.
