Simple things are life’s great pleasures

The last flick I saw was  strager than fiction. I like the story. It is about Harold Crick, an IRS auditor suddenly finds himself the subject of narration only he can hear: narration that begins to affect his entire life, from his work, to his love-interest, to his death. The narration part of the movie was really good. At first akala ko it was a novel based movie, niresearch ko pa yung book pero ndi pala. But if it was, surely I’d love to read that book! Kudos to the writers of this flick. I enjoyed a lot of quotes from this movie.

“As Harold took a bite of Bavarian sugar cookie, he finally felt as if everything was going to be ok. Sometimes, when we lose ourselves in fear and despair, in routine and constancy, in hopelessness and tragedy, we can thank God for Bavarian sugar cookies. And, fortunately, when there aren’t any cookies, we can still find reassurance in a familiar hand on our skin, or a kind and loving gesture, or subtle encouragement, or a loving embrace, or an offer of comfort, not to mention hospital gurneys and nose plugs, an uneaten Danish, soft-spoken secrets, and Fender Stratocasters, and maybe the occasional piece of fiction.”

At ang pinaka favorite kong line:

“And we must remember that all these things, the nuances, the anomalies, the subtleties, which we assume only accessorize our days, are effective for a much larger and nobler cause. They are here to save our lives.”
