“You have no idea how boring everything was before I met you.”
Sometimes a film will capture a thought, or an experience, or
a feeling that you’ve always kept inside of you and considered a vital piece in
the compilation of this person that you’re supposed to be.
I enjoyed An Education (dir. Lorne Scherfig,
2009). It was a pleasant and entertaining film full of charismatic actors and a
jovial, British humour. What’s not to love about that?
Yet there was something more to it that captivated me, and
has thrust me straight into my small hole of despair, loneliness and
restlessness, that I tend to try to avoid on nights like these. Nights when the
rain is falling ever so nicely yet the names in my contacts list begin to mean
nothing.
