The first time I saw this movie, I was in love. In love with the cinematography, in love with the characters, in love with its colors, in love with its story line, in love with its soundtrack.
There's this one particular scene that I love dearly. At one point in life, I wanted to reenact that scene with my boyfriend. I believe the first time I saw this movie, I was still with Jerk Boyfriend. So this could be between the year 2003 - 2005. I can't remember. All I remember was my feelings when I saw this movie for the first time.
Prior to watching this movie, I've never had interest in it. One, it was in a foreign language. Two, why is the character on the poster so pale? Three, my parents seen it before me on HBO and thought it was weird because they didn't get it.
Being a hopelessly romantic girl, later on, I gave this movie a try. And I feel in love. I bought the DVD. The more I watch the movie, the more I feel in love with it. AND the more I get the story line. The story line makes more sense the more I watch it. I even purchased the soundtrack. I love listening to the soundtrack, especially when I'm driving or even baking.
Hell, the movie made me learn how to make Creme Brûlée.
Now you're wondering WTH movie I'm talking about.
