"I love you, I hope
"I love you,
I hope you know."
-Reconstruction
Did I mention the film fest is over and did I mention that the one movie that hit me the most is RECONSTRUCTION. For more reasons than one, I loved the movie, the title and the premise of the storytelling. I'm trying to look for the DVD now but can't seem to find it.
The most amazing thing is, during the most obscure moments, I find myself whispering the very words. Some times, I hear the words spoken in my ear. I hear the words when I take a walk. I hear the words as I go about my life. Sometimes, just before I sleep, I say them without knowing why and with no one to hear.
In the movie, the girl slipped a note bearing the two lines into her love's pocket. He, on the other hand, was distracted with chasing another girl he had met earlier. He abandoned her to run after the second girl. Later in the movie, he found the note, but by then, he had already lost her irretrievably.
They have to be the two saddest lines in cinematic history.
I love you, I hope you know.
