Breathless

Day 27: I watched a movie today called "Breathless". It was made in 1960 and according to my film teacher was a French New Wave movie. It's in black and white, subtitled, and they are always smoking. It's fabulous. I don't feel like writing my own summary so here's one from IMDB:

"Michel Poiccard, an irresponsible sociopath and small-time thief, steals a car and impulsively murders the motorcycle policeman who pursues him. Now wanted by the authorities, he renews his relationship with Patricia Franchini, a hip American girl studying journalism at the Sorbonne, whom he had met in Nice a few weeks earlier."

Michel is then chased by the police and is trying to convince Particia to go to Italy with him. My favorite scene is when Particia finds Michel in her apartment. Their playful banter and interactions make me laugh. An example:

Michel Poiccard: [to Patricia] All right, I'll count to 8, and if you haven't smiled, I'll strangle you.

He then proceeds to wrap his hands around her throat and she ends up smiling and laughing. Maybe you have to watch it to understand. On another note this movie made me want to smoke. I've never smoked a cigarette in my life and yet seeing all of this smoke puffed everywhere gave me a craving for one. How can you crave what you've never had? Cigarette smoke disgusts me. Yet while watching that movie I had no other want but to be sucking in lung cancer on the streets of Paris. Odd.

Not much else to say but that you should watch this movie. It's quite good. What else...today I went to school and took two tests. I also tried the Lipton Half&half drink which is half lemonade and half tea. It wasn't half bad. Get it? Half bad? Eh I'm tired I'm just going to quit now. If you want a good song try "Gasoline" by The Airborne Toxic Event. It's been on repeat on my ipod lately. Alright well I'm just going to go now. I have a big evening of macaroni and cheese and "Chuck" planned. Bye.
