"ever since that day, i've been chasing amy. so to speak."
I remember seeing chasing amy when i was in high school. It was me, marta, sara, and JP. And i've loved it unconditionally to this day. Now, I'll admit that a lot of my love comes from when i saw it and my emotional state at the time, but nevertheless, I'll defend it as a great--and simple--movie to anyone. Many, many people love this speech by Holden (Ben Affleck) and me included. My favorite part of this scene is that it takes place in a car. Why is it that we have serious, intense conversations in cars? Or at least, I do? I think, i part its because its a bit like a cone of silence; I have something to say and I don't really want other people to hear. Or maybe its because of the proximity with the other person. Really, in a car you're way closer that at most tables. And you're shoulder to shoulder, which isn't how many people like to sit (tho, I kinda do, sometimes...it makes a nice change). And unlike in something like a movie theatre, the only thing you can do is be together, whether its talking or thinking or listening to music or whatever. And so maybe it lends itself to those 'serious' moments. hrm. i dunno.
