Feast of Love

Another heart relenting movie. A stimulator of lacrimal glands (and at places sweat glands). Not solving ofcourse but adding more to the intricacies of love. Love will remain a mystery for ever. Following dialogues are worth noting:

* There is a story about the Greek Gods; they were bored so they invented human beings, but they were still bored so they invented love, then they weren't bored any longer. So they decided to try love for themselves. And finally, they invented laughter, so they could stand it.

* Sometimes you don't know you've crossed a line until you're already on the other side. (Does that not occur for the first time only? The second time you know that you are crossing the line.)

* Harry: "Its been lonely for you I know and Im sorry. Theres just the two of us now. One day therell only be one of us. Its an unbearable prospect."
Esther: "Thats why we have to love each other as hard as we can now, while we still have the chance."

* (On the tragic demise of Oscar while his wife, Chloe is pregnant)
Harry: "It was awful wasnt it? Too sad. Unspeakable. God is either dead or he despises us."
Bradley: "You dont really believe that."
Harry: "May be. I just saw a young couple making love. I watched for longer than I should have. I was envious. And then I felt sorry for them. There's so much they don't know. Heartbreak they can't even imagine"
Bradley (sighs) : "Well even if they knew, it would'nt change anything."
Harry: "How so?"
Bradely: "Well, Chloe knew what was gonna happen to Oscar. She went to some psychic lady who predicted the whole thing."
Harry: "She believed her?"
Bradely: "Yes Harry. She did. And she didn't run away. She didn't crawl into a hole. She found them a house and she married him. God doesn't hate us, Harry. If he did, he wouldn't have made our hearts so brave."

* The unexpected is always upon us. And of all the gifts arrayed before me, this one thought at this moment in my life is the most precious. And so, we begin again.
