Feast of Love
Just came back from a nice Japanese all-you-can-eat and a movie with the group, to which it has now become a tradition for us to have a weekly outing.
YK, Jonathan, Georgi, Me, Olga, CK: all of us either are AIESEC interns or have been interns: and most of us will be interns again ;)
The movie part was an extra bit we added to the activity, and was unplanned. Nor did we had a movie in mind, when we bought the tickets. It was nice to be in a Hong Kong cinema again, must've been too many years since I was last in one here locally. Sitting in the cinema reminded me of the CAS days when Franklin, Juraj and I often had a boy's night out towards the end of the term when they were both in Costa Rica. Gosh, that was already half a year ago. Anyways, this flick that we sat down for this time was 'Feast of Love'.
Without knowing what it was about, with a quick glance at the poster, and the title of the film, I immediately linked it to 'Love Actually' - you know, the feel-good romantic comedies around x'mas time. As I sat through the beginning of the movie, I was waiting and waiting for that comical laugh, but it never came. So perhaps I was trying to hard to find a part to laugh at throughout (poor Olga! haha...). The movie turned out to be quite deep with it love-related messages. On how Love can be experienced in various forms, through uplifting experiences, and the pain it is often packaged with. The type that you know it's heading nowhere, and still decide to jump in, the type that blinds you from the obvious, when it becomes too stable, too good-to-be-true, and the forbidden type of love, where it is the exact danger, and living-on-the-edge feeling is what binds two together.
It's an interesting movie, but for sure you would have to be in the mood for it. Though I don't know what the movie can be better named, I think 'Feast of Love' is not the best one. And definately it was not a feel-good romantic comedy, but a thought-provoking romantic drama.
