LS and I were watching Meet Joe Black last night in the living room. Soup, movie and a warm summer night. Really beautiful.
I’d forgotten how gorgeous the dialog is in this movie. Moving and heavy. It gives you pause. Makes you feel butterflies in your stomach. William Parrish’s dialog with Claire in the helicopter is my favourite:
Love is passion, obsession, someone you can’t live without. If you don’t start with that, what are you going to end up with? Fall head over heels. I say find someone you can love like crazy and who’ll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. I’m not hearing any heart. Run the risk, if you get hurt, you’ll come back. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love – well, you haven’t lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven’t tried, you haven’t lived.
This is true of all things: work, play, love, friendship and family.
