Gaijin.Cerebrio: doctrina ergo eruditio

“ And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside, and on the way he said to them, “See, we are going up to Jerusalem. And the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death and deliver him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified, and he will be raised on the third day.”” (Matthew 20: 17-19)

AFTER A LONG TIME, AGAIN.

Now, I never thought I could find anyone who would cry over a movie like Baz Luhrman's Moulin Rouge. Until I watched it again after a very long time. The occupational hazard of being a Film student, or even an English Literature student, is that you have to learn to read the text in an objective manner. Sometimes that means forgoing losing oneself in it. No doubt when you're watchin a post-modern text a gazillion times to be made more awares of all the -isms weaved into the plot.

But after a long time again, I've caught myself lost in this movie.

And, I cried.

Cerebrio: The greatest thing, you'll ever learn is just to love and to be loved back in return. It says so in the bible.
