The Bridges of Madison County

El eterno dilema entre hacer lo que sientes y lo que debes. A veces te das cuenta cuando ya es demasiado tarde de que debías haberte dejado llevar. Y a veces te das cuenta de que hiciste lo correcto, aunque el precio a pagar es recordarlo cada día de tu vida. Es algo para pensar, en realidad. Es un dilema que tuvimos, tenemos y tendremos.
Sólo un genio como Clint Eastwood sabe hacerlo así.

Garden State.

Hay películas que son muy touchy. Para mí ésta lo ha sido. Y una vez más, me reafirman mis pensamientos y sentimientos. Si un día muriera el cine, me moriría con él. Así que hoy solo quiero decir que esta película es genial, con tres geniales (Zach Braff, Natalie Portman y Peter Sarsgaard) encabezando una historia preciosa. Lo dicho, muy touchy. Enjoy it, buds.
Algún día haré eso.

-That's life. If nothing else, it's life. It's real, and sometimes it fuckin' hurts, but it's sort of all we have.

-OK, so... so... sometimes I lie. I mean, I'm weird, man. About random stuff too, I don't even know why I do it. It's like... it's like a tick, I mean sometimes I hear myself say something and think, Wow, that wasn't even remotely true.

-You know that point in your life when you realize the house you grew up in isn't really your home anymore? All of a sudden even though you have some place where you put your shit, that idea of home is gone.
-I still feel at home in my house.
-You'll see one day when you move out it just sort of happens one day and it's gone. You feel like you can never get it back. It's like you feel homesick for a place that doesn't even exist. Maybe it's like this rite of passage, you know. You won't ever have this feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself, you know, for your kids, for the family you start, it's like a cycle or something. I don't know, but I miss the idea of it, you know. Maybe that's all family really is. A group of people that miss the same imaginary place.

-You changed my life. You changed my life, and I've known you four days. This is the start of something really big, but right now, I gotta go.
[...]
-You remember that idea I had about working stuff out on my own and then finding you once I figured stuff out?
-The ellipsis?
-Yes, the ellipsis. It's dumb. It's dumb. It's an awful idea. I'm not gonna do it, okay? 'Cause like you said, this is it. This is life. And I'm in love with you, Samantha. I think that's the only thing I've ever been really sure of in my entire life. And I'm really messed up right now, and I got a whole lot of stuff I have to work out, but I don't want to waste any more of my life without you in it. And I think I can do this. I mean, I want to. I have to, right?

Voy a cerrar los ojos muy fuerte muy fuerte muy fuerte para ver si se cumple mi deseo de escucha a este hombre en directo algún día de mi vida. Cerraré los ojos una semana, just in case.

I've got another confession to make: I'm your fool. Everyone's got their chains to break holdin' you.
Were you born to resist, or be abused?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you? Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you? Or are you gone and onto someone new? I needed somewhere to hang my head without your noose.
You gave me something that I didn't have, but had no use. I was too weak to give in, too strong to lose.
My heart is under arrest again, but I'll break loose. My head is giving me life or death, but I can't choose.
I swear I'll never give in, I refuse.
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you? Is someone getting the best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith? It's real, the pain you feel. You trust, you must confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith? It's real, the pain you feel. The life, the love, you'd die to heal.
The hope that starts, the broken hearts. You trust, you must confess.
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you? Is someone getting the best, the best, the best of you?
I've got another confession, my friend: I'm no fool. I'm getting tired of starting again, somewhere new.
Were you born to resist, or be abused? I swear I'll never give in, I refuse.
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?

Keep shining on

Christmas night, another fight. Tears we cried, a flood. Got all kinds of poison in, of poison in my blood. I took my feet to Oxford Street, tried to right a wrong. "Just walk away" those windows say, but I can't believe she's gone. When you're still waiting for the snow to fall it doesn't really feel like Christmas at all. Cup of candles, oh they flicker, they flicker and they flow. And I'm up here holding onto all those chandeliers of hope. Lots of drunken Elvises, I go singing out of tune saying how I always loved you, darling, and I always will.
But when you're still waiting for the snow to fall doesn't really feel like Christmas at all. When you're still waiting for the snow to fall it doesn't really feel like Christmas at all.

Those Christmas lights light up the street down where the sea and city meet. May all your troubles soon be gone. Oh, Christmas lights, keep shining on. Those Christmas lights light up the street, maybe they'll bring her back to me. Then all my troubles will soon be gone... Oh, Christmas lights, keep shining on. Those Christmas lights light up the street, light up the fireworks in me. May all your troubles soon be gone. Those Christmas lights keep shining on. Keep shining on........
