I watched two amazing things today; both at least a little bit depressing. First I watched the movie La Vie en Rose, a biography of Edith Piaf's life. I never heard of her, but as soon as I got home, I went on wiki and read all about her life (which made some of the events in the movie clearer). It was so sad how everyone close to her just left her, one by one. Her story briefly reminded me of Anita Mui's story. Anyway, about the movie: I think the main actress was incredible. Her ability to switch from one emotion to the next to the next to the next all in one shot was AMAZINGGG. Also, it was crazy how she was able to transform from a twenty year old to, basically, every age up until she was old and wrinkly. Please watch if you haven't.
Tonight, I also finished watching the last episode of the Japanese drama Absolute Boyfriend (絶対彼氏/Zettai Kareshi). It's one of the sweetest dramas that I've watched in awhile. I guess it's not so much depressing; it's just that the ending is a little bittersweet. The drama is about a girl who struggles with love, finding bits of it in both a robot boyfriend and her boss. Pretty scandalous, huhh. Although it's true that actors in Asian dramas are not exactly spectacular, but the main actress in Absolute Boyfriend is really charming. The casting was really good! ...Both the guys she had to choose from were pretty HOT. In a conversation with lyto, the question of who I would choose if I were the main actress of Absolute Boyfriend popped up. Actually, I'm not quite sure. Both of them are such perfect guys, haha. If you watch it, you'll know what I'm talkin' 'bout.
