The Darjeeling Limited saved me

its been an interesting last couple of days. when one has too much time to ponder and ponders the same thing too often they're often left with a void of loathing. naturally I think of my self as a positive guy with much to look forward to but over the course of a couple days I've pitted myself. I have however found solace in one favorite directors, Wes Anderson. I recently read a post by my old friend Ryan Hui about the movie but had already committed myself to seeing his newest creation, 'The Darjeeling Limited' regardless of his post. So off I went to see it at Broadway Cinematheque in Yau Mat Tei with, Scott - Ryan's brother.

I loved it. It was certainly a good move on my part. I've always enjoyed Anderson's wryness and directorial spirit. Cinematography is, in my humble opinion, spot on and come to think of it has influenced my own work. He just does it better.

I had prior to viewing the film seen the 'part 1' prologue on the internet, 'Hotel Chevalier' and though it to been on par with the dark humor of Anderson's previous works. But its so different on film. Its a spectacle in comparison.

Then the film started. And I have to say I liked it more than I thought. Its something that has pretty much stuck to me and I will likely see it again before it closes.

Prior to seeing this film I was going to write a long essay on why I feel the way I do. I think the material was there but writing it would have been another story. I think it made my day and saved me from myself.

Anyway, I have rather dumb video day for you folks. I reminded me of my days in greek - before art school. Enjoy.
