directed by Vittorio De Sica and set in Rome post World War II, The Bicycle Thief is a story about desperation, perseverance, and impoverishment. it won the Golden Globe for best foreign film in 1950. the ending is heartbreaking...and the acting is excellent. i never really get the desire to buy movies, but this is one that i must add to my collection.
it's freezing, i'm alone, and i have a Bright Eyes song on repeat. my life is too exciting for my life.
"Now I do as I please and lie through my teeth Someone might get hurt, but it won't be me I should probably feel cheap but I just feel free... and a little bit empty No, it isn't so hard to get close to me There will be no arguments We will always agree And I'll try and be kind when I ask you to leave We'll both take it easy But if you stay too long inside my memory, I will trap you in a song tied to a melody and I will keep you there so you can't bother me..."
i didn't have internet access for 4 days, and the only thing that i missed was reading the Pop Candy blog. that girl knows everything! she is on top of her shit. i have discovered so many things from her. she pleases my mainstream lust.
