Day Two, and boy do I have alot to type--if I can remember all of it! I'll begin with this; yesterday I borrowed four DVD's for myself; The Godfather; Hannibal; Fight Club; and The Matrix Revolutions. None of them have been viewed before, but I have flipped through the first few pages of Fight Club once in a bookstore and I've read Hannibal. You should, just by reading the titles, realise that I was in for an experience. Not a mind-blowing one, mind you, let's just say mind bending.
Ok, enough foreplay, down to the meat: I've watched Fight Club and Hannibal and I'm in a daze. The usual daze, a little awestruck, shaken; I just pull back a little as I try to organise my thoughts into a workable order. I NEVER expected the schiznophrenia in Fight Club! It was really amazing! And the acting was top! The directing was too, a little loose points here and there, but I don't care; It was good!!! Now i really really really want to go back an buy the book.
Now, onto Hannibal; this time I tried my best to watch the movie as a movie and not to think of the book too much. I'm really sorry to all the Hopkins fans out there, but my vision on Dr. Lecter is a little more confident; Hopkins just isn't as terrifying as my imagined Hannibal. All in all, I like the movie; the director had a vision and saw it through. I would have prefered the ending in the book brought to life though, not the least of my reasons is that it would have been MUCH more sexy, but alas it was not to be.
One theme,that I know I knew before but have only just named, is the emotional detachment: I eat the rude. I like fine food. I like to be comfortable. No fluff about it. Done. I like that aspect, I really do like it quite a bit, enough to want to try it out sometime. Not the eating part though!

But, I think as a result of the two movies, I've had a eureka moment. I have found a question, the question! One that everyone knows a little too well for their own comfort because its always asked in hindsight. But it seems like a question everyone should be asking, all the time.
