i caught a french movie yesterday.

and i dun even noe the name.

it about a married couple, who found a well-dressed man, who lost his memory on the street. the husband who was super soft hearted, just couldnt bear to leave the old helpless man behind when he saw that the old man was handin money to total strangers.

needless to say, he felt he should take the man to the police or somethin. excpet that he ended up takin the man to his house.

the only word, the old man could remenber was ' simone'. at first they thought that , it was his name. BUT, when the female lead, Giovanna took his suit to dry clean, they found a love letter addressed to Simone. sO, Simone is really the old man;s lover.

fed up with her husband who couldnt hold down a job, Giovanna became increasingly fascinated wif the handsome and intriguing neighbor next blk. She could see him right across the kitchen window. and she loved watchin the guy. she was definately havin the hots for him.

and it was this old man, who managed to let their lives interwine.

the intriguing neighbor, had began a friendship with Giovanna when he was stoppped by the old man while in a pub. and their friendship was soaked with their mutual attraction.

turns out that the guy was also watchin Giovanna in HIS window. and it wasnt just some lie either. he could tell her what she was up to up, in her kitchen. which was the only place he could see her in. besides the pub, which Giovanna didnt really frequent.

and over the other side, the old man's story thickens. Simone is not a girl. Simone is a guy.
the old man was a gay. or a queer.
of coz, their sincere love was obstracized by the society then.
he recounted how they could only communicate their love for each other in coded messages and secret places. and he had lost his one love in the war, and even indirectly bought onto him.
it was kinda heart wrenching.

back to Giovanna, now she and her object of desire has a chance to make love to each other. [ A Night oF pasSion!]
Giovanna, encourage by her best friend AND even with the help of her best friend, plans to cheat on her husband.

While, Giovanna was havin a full pleged make out session with the neighbor, she suddenly noticed the window. she stopped everything and went to take a look out the window.

she saw her husband's lone sihoulette inside the kitchen.
she saw the lights came on and her husband with her 2 kids.

she had to make a choice.

she choose to make a decision which she knew she would regret.

she choose to return back to her hOme, leavin Logenza[ i think thats the cute neighbor's name] behind.

i dunno how come i was attracted by the movie.
but thats the power of a good story. about a man who had a love he had to hide, a woman who had a love she cant have.

its about timing i guess.

in the end, logenza had to leave the nieghborhood coz he had a promotion in his bankin job and had to uproot to somehwhere else.

And even though Giovanna finally chased him at the last minute, she only managed to catch a glimpse of the movin van.

its a sad story, personally. and it leaves to ponder what choices u would have made if u r in Giovanna's shoes. i personally, wouldnt consider it immoral if she had cheated on her husband. afterall, she was havin a rough patch, since her husband could provide enough and screamin at her vulgarities.

and now she has the chance to be with the neighbor who was in love with her, and not just lust!
and i had kinda hope the 2 of them would comsumate their love. i guess i am the kind who rather have the memories than nothing at all. at least this way, u wouldnt be all torned up over what could have been.

and imagine being a gay in the WW2!!!!!!! what a big hoo-ha that would have been if not for the presence of Hitler...
and the endin sond sounded nice too. somethin like, Historia en de Amour? >> history of love?
a french song... hahha. first time i had really listen to a french song.

in the end, Giovanna was wonderin, if she could still remenber Lozenga's voice and even touch as the time goes by.

she wondered if people who stepped into ur life, ever leave a part of them with U when they leave u. if thats the case, then for her, she will never be lonely, for she always will have the menories.............................................................................................
