Loneliness must be heard

Back to blogging after a long time. The weekend before watched this movie "Lost in translation" , the movie was very eloquent on the theme of loneliness as accentuated by an alien language and culture barrier that you can not cross. So there you are long shot frames with a single character , a tiny speck in the face of vast emptiness in the background , very subtlely done . I especially liked a scene where the character of scarlett is in the huge swimming pool complex alone , the place was huge and the emptiness in the long shot seems to devour her.
Is Loneliness so bad ? I mean if i put myself into this film into any one of those characters how would i exactly feel ? I am in a new country a new culture , so much to see explore and being alone gives you that perfect perch to view this ebb and flow of this whole new world , to explore , the serenity to observe and absorp . This takes me back to 2007 August at Toronto, the walk from Casa Loma , spadina , Kensington market to Eaton's on a Sunday afternoon . The joy of discovering a haat at the heart of Toronto , the confluence of so many cultures , starting converstations with absolute strangers, eating off blueberries from somebody's backyard . I looked Loneliness in its eyes that day , it was a gaping hole of blackness in Earth, a deserted subway station, eerie and inviting like a sleeping monster.
At the end of the day i had a full heart but less than a perfect experience , i had sponged the loneliness of the empty streets. Loneliness eerie, mysterious , inviting was now steel cold heartless , can drown my wails and cries. As i warily walked towards my hotel room i cant say that i was unhappy with the experience but it was not perfect .... "How i wish you were here ..." ..... it is wonderful to be a child on mountain top during sunrise , but hapiness is to have somebody to scream with you and hear the echo. Signing off with recommendation for "Je t aime Paris"(I love you Paris) , there are two short stories on loneliness in that movie that expresses this idea the best way..... Au revoir !!
