Caught this French movie (it's the french movie festival now!), If You Love Me, Follow Me, with baby last night.
All I can say is that, this is an excellent excellent beautiful movie, that baby and I and most other people with dreams can relate to.
It is about this man who is a successful doctor, who one day decides that he is sick of his job, and quits his job to form a rock band as music has always been his dream. He overcomes differences and different kinds of pressures just to follow this dream.
This movie is not a typical movie with a typical ending. It is a movie packed with meaning and beauty, and yet it is extremely comedic and it's jokes and randomness are very tasteful. There are random scenes of a couple
having sex with an orange between their chests (ahem someone), two men kissing, etc. But these random scenes just fit in well and are not abrupt or weird.
I would highly recommend it to people who have a dream to chase and are not afraid of chasing them.
So far baby and I have caught 2 French films from the french film festival and it is freaky how much we can relate to both the movies. We can totally relate to this one because both of us wanna be rockstars. Haha.
The earlier one we caught was called Bad Faith, about a couple with different faiths, one a Muslim, and one a Jew. The Jew gets pregnant with the Muslim's kid, and they have to overcome the social stigma and pressures from family and tradition in order to make their relationship work. In our case, I'm the Christian, baby's the Muslim (although only on his IC). Right now obviously we have no problems becuase we have only just started. But there'll definitely be some hiccups that will arise in the future. But I guess we'll take them in our stride.
P.S. It was very nice seeing you last night. And this morning. =)
