C.R.A.Z.Y


I went to watch a movie with angie yesterday.
Never will I expect myself to watch a montreal film in Singapore, especially when I am going to be back there pretty soon. Oh well, the feeling is not going to be the same if I were to watch it there even though the movie will be a good movie regardless.
I guess that's probably one reason that I appreciated the movie more while I was watching it and after because every now and then, I was trying to identify bits and parts which could make me relate to Montreal. The movie is set in the1920s( should be 1960s-1980s, thanks to angie for the correction) which may make it harder for me to try to find familiar background scenes, but still it did not stop me from feeling the sense of familiarity to the very Montreal-like(Quebec?) suburban neighbourhood. Very Quebecois sense of lifestyle. Even the filming technique seems very much like a Quebec style..but I have to say that this is purely based on my personal biased opinion.

If I have had watched it in Montreal, chances are that I will probably not have given as much credit to it as I have now.
Guess that's why we see the same thing in different ways from different angles. Things always look different from the equator as compared to the higher altitudes.
we aren't CRAZY, we are just human.
