Soul mate: not easy to find
14 March 2006
Warning: Spoilers
I guess all Joaquin Phoenix needs is just more patience on his road to the Oscar, although we have to admit that the academy award is somehow just a game and an Oscar is not the only way to prove one's success. Reese does deserve the award! I like the June carter she acts as: independent, strong and genuine...

I was really touched by the love between Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash, but I did feel a little bit depression after finishing this movie: It is much more difficult to find your soul mate in your life! Besides, you will never know when he/she will appear. Johnny Cash had listened to June's songs for twenty years when they met in person for the first time as wife or husband of others. It had been almost another decade when they ended up their own marriage and got married!

Time Wasted--I did flash on that song!!

But how can we say it is Time Wasted? Will they cherish the precious thirty-five years if it is not that hard-won? Will the happiness and joy be that great if it is not after such a hard journey? Rough is the road that leads to the height of greatness..

one of the best movies i have ever seen
11 December 2004
the Accidental Tourist is among the best movies ever made in the world.Maybe it is not absolutely the best, but as to me it is the most well understood one. that probably is the reason why i love it so much. When i watched it, i can even felt what Macon Leary was feeling inside---i could feel the complicated mood when he called Sarah in his hotel in Paris, i can understand that his heart has already belonged to Muriel when he said it's OK to Sarah, who asked for his opinion on the newly bought sofa. he was a captious guy!and i can also read his heart when he close the door to Muriel, not willing to take her on his trip the next morning. Also i can read the deep love for Muriel on his smiling face when he met Muriel at the gate of the hotel at the end of the movie. I can't agree with some people who think this movie lacks energy. it might appear to lack, but u could have felt the passion in their hearts if u can understand them. this remind me of another movie--Once Upon A Time In America, which is also said to lack energy, but i can feel the great passion in Noodles and Deborah's heart when they "quietly" meet in the bar after Noodle was released from the jail. only a few words from Deborah can make me feel that! Just as sometimes the clothes do not make the man, sometimes the movie is not what it appears! there is seldom any good movies from which we can not feel the passion!
