Broken English

"Broken english" is a very emotional movie, well at least for me. Parker Posey seems to have acted me in this show. The panick attacks, the thoughts when she thought things will work out, the disappointment. Well! The only difference is I did not sleep with different men to "try if things will work out" or setting up many dates after my break up (which is so long ago). Seeing her, I cried for myself and not for her. I spent a nice 5mins to cry in the toilet after the show cos I thought no one will understand me but I see "me" in this show. Cowardness and distrust to start a new relationship. The wanting and afraid to kind to feeling. The gamble which is just too hard to even put any stake on it when we thought over things too much.

And how her friend, though "happily" stayed and celebrated the recent 5th anniversary, had a one night stand with a complete stranger and how she hides her wedding ring and felt so guilty over her actions. So is marriage means happily ever after? This leaves everyone ponders.

Everyone is just searching for a companion and I am one of the minority who is searching for magic. Thus making it tough for others and for my own self. BUt I am very happy with my current life. :) Nothing can be so wonderfully happy when I love myself more now.


Below is the synopsis:

In a startling mature and nuanced performance, Parker Posey plays Nora Wilder, a thirty-something Manhattanite who is cynical about love and relationships, in this astute collaboration with first-time writer/director Zoe Cassavetes. Nora plugs away at her job in a posh downtown hotel and can't help but wonder what it is she has to do to find a relationship as ideal as her friend Audrey's (Drea De Matteo) "perfect marriage." It doesnt help that her overbearing mother (Gena Rowlands) takes every opportunity to remind Nora that she's still unattached. After a series of disastrous first dates, she meets Julien (Melvin Poupaud), a seemingly devil-may-care Frenchman with a passion for living. Expecting another disastrous ending, Nora tries to avoid making the same mistakes. She finds herself in Paris looking to break old patterns. Inevitably, Nora has to look inward before she can find a new outlook on life and most importantly, love.
