“ The world is no longer a romantic place. Some of it’s people still are, however. And there in lies the promise. ”
Sense & Sensibility | 1995
That little stifled sob at the end?! Dear baby Jesus - Emma Thompson gets me every time with that when she realizes he’s…he’s not married.
“ I have a friend, jazz musician…trumpet player, really terrific. And I go and hear him jam every month or so and he plays this piece I love, an old Chet Baker song. And he blows the same notes every time and every time it sounds so different. And we had drinks one night…when I used to drink….and I tried to tell him how that song made me feel, how the music made me feel, how his playing made me feel. And he just kept shakin’ his head and he said “Joan, you can’t talk about music! Talking about music is like dancing about architecture,” and I just said, “Well fine! Gonna get all philosophical on me, it’s just as pointless as talking about a lot of things, love for instance.” And my friend laughed and he said, “Definitely, most definitely, talking about love is like dancing about architecture.” So I don’t know, he might be right…but it ain’t gonna stop me from trying. ”
Joan - “Playing By Heart” written by Willard Carroll (via any4ka)
This was one of my favorite movies when I was a teenager - and now that I’m not, I’ve re-discovered it (Sean Connery, Jon Stewart, Gillian Anderson… Why not) and this monologue still gets me.
No matter what Angelina Jolie does, or how many crappy movies she makes - she will always be Joan, and she will always be forgiven in my eyes because of her delivery of this monologue.
“Is it just a matter of time before a man opens his eyes and gives up his one … dream … his one dream of happiness?”
“…but what I did for you proved something to me. Something I hadn’t believed until that moment.” “What?” “It’s you who’s right. There is love in the world.”
So twisted… and so sweet…

The Philadelphia Story (1940)
“I thought it was for life, but the nice judge gave me a full pardon.”
Sense & Sensibility always brings me back to being 12, watching this at 4 am because a panic attack would wake me up. And no matter what - this scene, this very line, always seemed to make things right.
Yoko: I’m in love with you.
John: Unfortunately, I’m in love with you, too.
