Vivian Leigh as English ballet dancer Myra Lester in Waterloo Bridge (1940).
Set in England during World War 1, Myra is part of a ballet company that is run by the tyrannical Madame Olga, who is so strict on her girls, that you think they were training for combat. One fateful night Myra meets Captain Roy Cronin (the always charming Robert Taylor) and it’s love at first sight. They meet on the Waterloo Bridge.
“You’re an impatient generation.”
“Weren’t you?”
“Yes, we were, very. Oh, don’t be so impatient, Comrade Engineer. We’ve come very far, very fast.”
“Yes, I know that, Comrade General.”
“Yes, but do you know what it cost? There were children in those days who lived off human flesh. Did you know that?”

Les temps sont durs pour les rêveurs.
Times are hard for dreamers.
It’s been so long since I last watched it, the first time in English though (still trying to improve my awful listening skills).
I love it. I love it so much.
Russel Crowe is a talented actor, and the way they portrayed Rome kinda makes me nostalgic and makes me want to go back there again. The Colosseum, the streets, the Roman Forum; everytime I go there I feel like I’m breathing history.
I can watch a thousand movies but I’ll always be fond of this one.
Maybe because in the past I used to watch it with my brother; we sat there in awe the whole time, only to sit up together at one point of the movie to recite: “My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, Commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius.”Nostalgic movie is nostalgic.
but I am in my room, shoulders wrapped in my warmest blanket, reading yaoi and listening to music while drinking apple tea.
My friend asked me to go out but I refused, because I’m such a nerd and I prefer staying home and reading yaoi instead of socially interact with people I already know.
And then I’ll watch a movie and empathize with some random character and then I’ll read a book until tomorrow morning because tomorrow is Sunday and I don’t have to go to university.
