the little things.

at my juntendo there is a section of 498yen movies. they are all old american flicks, most of them don't look that good, but yesterday i picked up 'charade' hoping it was something that i wanted to see. after putting it in, first there was the excitement because the movie actually played in my dvd player that is set up for american dvds. second there was the pure glee at discovering this was the movie that i have remembered from childhood, that i've been to looking to see again for a very long time. i don't know when i even saw it last, i just know it. i just love it. so tonight was a special night of eating too much lotte ghana milk chocolate and watching 'charade' and realizing that this movie may have effected more than i knew. the main character is a young spunky, horny american living in paris. she falls for a salt 'n pepper carry grant and eats too much. if you know me at all, you know this is me. for once i felt like identifying with the female character in an older film, and just ignored the moments of girlyness that sprouted in audrey hepburn's character. i knew there was a reason i love movies from that era.
