I've recently visited Lisbon with my dear, whose dream was to visit Lisbon (and more). We have watched Lisbon story just before the travel, and all I felt and sensed was the disappointment about the modern cinema. I didn't see Lisbon in movie, except the steep streets and trams. I didn't feel the city. Movie was like a poets story, nice to hear, charming and a bit sad, but I couldn't do anything with it. I couldn't comment it, I couldn't review it, or tell anything about it. I just had to visit Lisbon, not as a tourist, who sees what s/he expects to see, but as a traveler, who sees what s/he observes with own eyes. The movie is about making ten thousand pictures of the city you fell in love with, and still feeling like you can't explain anyone what is so special about that city. About walking bare foot on the beach of the ocean in the dusk, and afterwards telling someone about it. It's about love, without unnecessary words. By accident we came upon a backyard of the house in the movie, we've seen the urinol, the knife grinder and a guy recording sounds of the city in the flea market. We didn't seek them with our viewfinder, but we came upon them while waiting for something to happen. We have seen the reflection of the star in the ocean, saw the shine of the sounds in the broad daylight. And we felt them virgin. And that is what this movie is about...
