movies, music and astro

first of all - orangelove. it's orangelovely to say the very least.

yes, it is THAT cute. then again, i am utterly hooked on weird and potentially tragic love stories so i may be really biased. also, the actress is unbelievably beautiful.




and of course, there's also the video. and the whole idea of "boy meets girl. tragedy ensues and the along the way there's a lot of symbolism and pretty imagery" is probably a plot one can sell to me over and over again.
also, remember the libra hero? i just noticed there is a pattern for the libran female characters as well - very likely to get killed off for extra romantic tragedy and moving the plot forward. cases in point: "restless" (mia tragically dies of cancer), "contagion" (kate winslet and gwyneth die of that horrible disease), "revolutionary road" (again, kate dies. you know, i actually think "revolutionary road" portrays successfully the dynamics of a libra/scorpio relationship which is one of terminal misunderstanding and in the long run very frustrating for both parties. but neither is giving it up because not so deep down both are relationship signs. on the other hand, in titanic, the scorpio brooding hero leonardo does die and the libra kate survives, but in my opinion that was just the exception that confims the rule), "quills" (kate, again, dies and her wanna-be scorpio lover joaquin weeps), gwyneth in "se7en" (it was the "oh no, he DIDN'T JUST DO THAT" horrifying moment), marion cotillard in "inception" (again, with leonardo di caprio. again libra/scorp. and she haunts him).
now that i think of it, guess the libra-romantic-heroine death is more tragic when the lover is a scorpio. and even if she doesn't die the love story oozes tragedy. look, in shakespeare in love the put together libra gwyneth with gemini joseph fiennes. of course it was fun and light-hearted and the underlying tragedy was averted. because, you know, this is how libra/gem works.
on the other hand, i can't think of a single movie with a libra/aqua romantic relationship. the prestige does qualify on a level, in that the two magicians, hugh jackman and christian bale, are libra and aquarius and it is brilliant in portraying the "merlin" side of the air-sign men. it is also brilliant in portraying the extremes of behavior air-signs are capable of. there's also "mysterious skin", but it's a friendship between the male gay lead and a libra female so it doesn't really count. oh yes. "a walk on the moon" with aqua diane lane and libra viggo. AND libra liev schreiber. hmmm....
