How to say I love you...
-
What? The Smoking Baby is hardened to romance? I find that hard to believe.
Actually I was searching youtube for clips on the 'Kaye Effect' to help my son with his science fair project. There in the 'featured' videos was this 'How to say I love you'. I was curious and I watched, was entertained, and thought even a smoking baby would be charmed. Yes, it is a bit of a 'chick flick' but then it's only a few minutes long and I thought even the most hardened might enjoy it.
Love! XOX

That was prety good, always nice to see some independent film.

No,that is so unreal. She left the book on the bench. Come on,Ross, it's obviously just a setup! Like in American movies when they leave all the lights on in the house when they leave hand in hand...
-
Ah, but there is the good writing in the story Gai... she was forgetful.

You mean in Hungary you turn off lights when you leave the house??

Are you thinking the point of the video is instructional? - as in "How to pick up a babe in seven and a half minutes". Perhaps ultimately it might be. Try it -- you only have seven and a half minutes to loose & perhaps a lifetime of bliss to gain.

Well I enjoyed it, thanks Ross
I think these are Irish actors from their accents! Its great to see how a group with probably little or no funds can get involved in film making, excellent! And thank you You Tube
It make a pleasant change from guns, bombs and murder which appears to be on the TV for much of the time. Thank God for Discovery Channel.

Ross's affinity for a gentle romantic quip is not a surprise to me, as I've been to the land of Green Gables from which he resides, and there are not many more gentle and romantic places on this Earth.
It is nice to see these young actors paying homage to the sensitive side of our human existence. Especially in a world where subtlety is all but dead and gone.

Ross that made me smile. If you ever want to feel good about the world just go to a park and sit and watch people. Pay attention to the what catches their attention. Watch for them to smile. It's a beautiful thing to watch a human being smile when it's real and no one is watching ( well except for you) It's like that wonderful satisfying look someone has on their face after tasting the most delicious food. Sometime when you are in a restaurant see if you can catch someone close their eyes and have that incredible satisfied look on their face. I love to observe people and look for these moments when real happiness occurs. It gives me hope that the world will always be OK.

Gaieus,
Leaving the book is cinematic symbolism. She's taking a chance and leaving her old life behind. It was making her cry anyway. She's too enamored to be concerned with the book.

Point taken, Peter!
Now I know why I only understand Chuck Norri movies

Chuck Norris don't have to sweet-talk no woman. She'd just follow him.
-
Thanks Ross.....that was simply delightful!

Isn't this another twist on the old damsel in distress formulae? Men have this deep seated fantasy about vulnerable women (emotional creatures, blah blah blah...) and this is a shameful exploitation of it dressed up as romantic fluff particularly from a male perspective. It left me with lingering bad after taste in my mouth.
-
Interesting perspective on it Chango70. Perhaps you are correct about there being a "damsel in distress" formula but I can't really see the "shameful" part. You imply this "fantasy" is common among men. That seems right. I'd suggest many women would also find the short film romantic. Would you say it taps into some deep-seated "rescue" fantasy they have? If so why would such well matched fantasies be shameful? Such fantasies may be a timeless part of the human condition.
Regards, Ross

Here is another slant. These days many of us think we things!

I am no feminist, however, it does struck me as pulling all the stereotypes without being obnoxious, which makes it more objectionable in my humble opinion. The male goes through different emotional states, is active while the female remains passive and swayed by his torrent of 'self-loathing'. She was like a prop onto which the male lead could project his ego. It would have been a lot more convincing if there was more of a interaction. Or perhaps I am reading way too much into this.
