The signal is subtle
We pass just close enough to touch
No questions, no answers
We know by now to say enough
With only simple words
With only subtle turns
The things we feel alone for one another
There is a secret that we keep
I won't sleep if you won't sleep
Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given
We are compelled to do what we must do
We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden
So I won't sleep if you won't sleep tonight

apocalypto
i went to catch mel gibson's 'apocalypto' with my boy yesterday, and the first thing that hit my ears when the movie ended was, "fucking movie. fucking fucked up movie".
i know i shouldn't feel insulted, but i was really so upset with how these 2 guys behind us have no appreciation for culture, other than our concrete jungle, singa-BORE.
apocalypto felt like watching a full-length national geographic documentary which lasted 2 hours and 20 minutes. but not one minute was a bore (or maybe i'm biased because i like watching those kind of shows on cable TV).
the point is, mel gibson has a keen eye for detail, and it really shows in the cinematography. also, there's many aspects of the movie that will appeal to the general audience. although, it's rated M(18), it still holds elements of human emotion, bloodshed (for the guys) and love. it traces the roots of human civilisation and we really can see how far we've come.
i'll admit hands down, i did cry. but only because it was just so touching and the feelings that the characters portrayed were as raw as the tapir meat they hunted for in the first scene.
i went in not knowing a single thing about the storyline, and only because my boy wanted to see it after being impressed with 'passion of the christ'. and i'm glad went along.
a must-see in my books. :)
