Raven in Green again..

nothings changed the senates still corrupt & the emporer remains insane, and every day, is a new strain of slaughter, supply lines are less protected, evil on all sides, eye can smell the death on your flesh--creeping in, trapped within the twisting fingers of fear, and all eye see is ewe, that face, those eyes, burning like leprosy, eye can see u there poisoning the air, prostituing Nationalism, and eye want to attack, to rip out your heart and lay you flat on your back, and vomit a world of agony and truth into your throbbing illness of memory...and hate guides our way, eye long for the icy slap of a belt across my back, for the acceptance of death and blind cave war, the giving sleep of depression, the sweet elucidation of savage meaningless agression, chiseled in the meaty forearms of Mother Jupiter and his slave disciples, in the harem tents--outside, just beyond the edges--eye ride, a cycoptic mare in the fires of imagination. feeding my disease, a river of plagues, eye need something to remind me I'm still sinning that pain is important, that wurdz matter, that healing is possible, that eye am not alone ...in this --guard the houses--triple the watch,--Maidens, dig up your sorcery --sirens, sharpen your rocks..ewe will eat my pain again. whatever you need unite messiah ME

So B and I went and saw The Hours tonight. I have to say that this is the first film to ever get me in the emotional manner which this film got me. Hell, film, play, or book. I left the theater and sat in the bathroom for a bit crying. This never happens to me. ..I can be watching RENT with close friends as our own circle of friends is ripping apart...everyone around me crying their eyes out. ...Not me. But this one got me.

Over all the performances were amazing. The biggest surpirse of all was the incredibly moving and underated performance of Ed Harris. I love that man.

He was just incredible, and I didn't even know he was in it.

Now what was it got me? Well Meryl Streep's charactor is me. I mean she is, straight up. and B is a combination of Nicole Kidman and Ed Harris' charactors.

Streep's and Harris' relationship is almost identical to that of mine and B's (not specific instances but just the way the value one another and treat one another), and the issues that the 2 of them are dealing with are very very, frightningly similar to issues I have with him, and because the situation hit so close to home that it caused me to cry. I was upset about it for a good while after the movie ended.

This is a beautiful dramatic film with great performances. If you're into that, it's a must see.
