Talk Of Thought

Here is how you should watch this movie: grab a whisky/smoke/ ice cream/ anything that sets your mood. Cover yourself with a blanket in a dark room and play it. This piece of content is an experience. The frames set by the cinematographer seem like paintings, the music is magical, and the characters' flawless dance gives you a visual orgasm. This movie is super idealistic until the end. A charming pianist who loves jazz and wants to start a club meets a stunning and gorgeous aspiring actress who keeps failing auditions. When these two keep meeting, the music plays and love happens. They are always at ease, showing that love isn’t just a state; it happens in moments. It's a place of being present and feeling emotions to the fullest, and you can witness that happening to them. Sadly, dreams come at the cost of compromises, and to follow their respective dreams, they both have to make a choice. Will they compromise their dream of romance and love, or their dream of a career? That's the story. The ending of this movie is the best. It has a montage of what could have been the climax. Even the dialogues, like "How are you gonna be a revolutionary if you're such a traditionalist? You hold onto the past, but jazz is about the future," really hit me. There are many such dialogues that an artist would love to hear—dialogues of comfort, motivation, criticism, and more. Nothing felt forced, everything is inserted with ease. Some movies demand a certain pain to enjoy them to the fullest, and this is one such movie. Have you ever found a person in your life who sounds like you, vibes great, and knows what you want, making you feel at ease? But sadly, when the villain that is Time or Circumstances separates you, you have nothing but a void and gratitude for each other. That mellow simpy love develops a muscle in you, makes you an artist, an empath, and a stronger person. When you watch movies like this, that part of you gets aroused. Love doesn’t always have to start a relationship; it can happen in different forms. What matters is what it meant. No matter how terrible the ending is or how blank the closure felt, some people just come and go like waves. They aren't people you box or save, instead you just cherish that moment and be happy you witnessed it. As I said earlier, love is a moment, so enjoy it, and then life goes on. This movie is a testament to such love and broken hearts.
