Everything in Its Right Place

Warning, this movie could be emotionally disturbing, viewer discretion is advised.

There aren't many movies worth writing about after watching them. This is not one of them.

I am not suicidal in any way but I can understand why people find no reason to pretend being alive. By saying that, I never thought about what it looks alike to finish one person's own life. I mean it doesn't make any logic or biologic sense. Most movies don't tell you much detail about the process. This movie keeps focusing on the details of actress's hesitation, which is pretty interesting.

Maybe it has something to do with the mood. The whole night, I was waiting for my girlfriend to show up on MSN. Almost the same moment I accept it as a lonely night, I was strike by the connection between loneliness and suicide. And it makes perfect sense. Most importantly, there is a happy ending. He and she were holding hands and ran away. Even though, I am sipping my wine and typing out these words all by myself, I feel comfort and relieved. There is still hope, after all.

Music, another power tool in this movie, I love it. “Everything in its right place” from Radiohead was awesome.

    Only when you are dying do you feel that every second of your life is a miracle. ED has the same silence, timidity, neuroticism and love as ADAM.

    Thinking about dying every day, movies are just like people, so boring.

    Veronika: Okay, so six months? Five months? Four months?
