if the people we love are stolen from us
Like a merry-go-round
the way to have them live on
is to never stop loving them.
buildings burn, people die...
but real love is forever.
'The Crow'
which goes round and round
I'll see you again in Spring*
just watched another show called "Dirty Pretty Things" by the same girl tt played Amelie. really loved her, her acting is superb! and the movie is nice too.. 94% at rottentomatoes.
here's a synopsis:
Chiwetel Ejiofor gives a remarkably understated performance in director Stephen Frears's offbeat and gripping drama DIRTY PRETTY THINGS. Ejiofor stars as Okwe, a Nigerian who is trying to make a new life for himself in London, where he works days as a taxi driver and nights as a hotel desk receptionist. When he discovers a human heart in a hotel-room bathroom, he cannot go to the police because he is an illegal alien with a mysterious past that he refuses to talk about. Suddenly he is thrust into the middle of a dangerous situation that threatens to have tragic results for him and those around him. French ingenue Audrey Tautou costars as a Turkish woman who has sought asylum in England, where she is allowed to live but not work. But she must make money, so she works secretly while the government tries to catch her. Benedict Wong turns in a fine supporting performance as Guo Yi, a morgue employee who shares wise and humorous sayings with Okwe, and Sergi Lopez is absolutely chilling as the amorally opportunistic hotel manager. Frears directs the unusual proceedings with a deft hand, slowly revealing secrets that are as gruesome as they are poignant.
generally, its abt these ppl who are illegal immigrants in london. and this sergi lopez operates an illegal organ selling business, where ppl trade their kidneys for a passport and a new identity, and most imptly, freedom to a whole new world, where they dun have to run away from the police and can go where they want.
