i've got nailed.

last night i watched "you've got mail" starred by meg ryan and tom hanks. i stil vote it as the most romantic movie i have seen in these years.

the movie is set on the background of my favourite city, new york. i wil never find another city which is more chariming than she is. the streets, the yellow cabs, the sidewalk cafes and the contrast between the glamour and the grunge, tht is a place i must visit at least once in my lifetime.


the two characters in the movie respectively living in with their partners, yet the person come closer to their hearts, is a total stranger from the net. 2 lonely hearts in a big city, they seem to know each other so well but they have never met before. so close, yet so far. tragically romantic.

in the movie, kathleen (meg ryan) writes about her daily life which seems irrelevant to joe (tom hanks), becos she found him as someone she can communicate to. in real life, it is hard to find someone actually care you've read "pride and prejudice" and which chapter you r in. i can understand her excitement of waiting to receive mails from the other. sometimes you just need someone to talk to, and you'll feel it's easier to talk to someone you don really know. it's just like trashing all your thoughts to this person and not worrying he'll judge you with pre-perceptions. you need a channel out, even it could be a selfish act. tragically mentally lonely.

and wat else make the movie being so romantic to me, it's new york in autumn. the orangy brownish hue throughout the movie, the falling leaves on the streets, the little bookstore, and starbucks coffee. i become the victim of starbucks coffee after watching the movie in year 1998.

but tht's not jus it. it's the emails and chats between kathleen and joe.

being romantic is not about sending roses and saying i love you everyday. it is about heart to heart communication. when someone makes you a hot tea when you r omos crushed; cracks a joke to you when you r omos in tears; gives you a shoulder rub when you r down; or omos didnt do anything but always being there when you need him to... when you hav found this "someone", seize the treasure and dont ever let it go. or if you were like me, who had it once, be thankful at least you've met this special someone in your life before.
