Before sunrise

I happened to “listen” to a movie. Why I didn’t get to see it, I choose not to disclose for the moment . But I daresay that the moral of the story is that blunders always happen for a reason and more often than not the experience leaves behind a lingering effect.

In my case …. enthralling. The movie’s title, which I made out from the block letters on the disk was “Before Sunrise”. I liked the sound of it instantly. Definite yet mysterious. Simple yet complex. My imagination soared. That was just a humble start. A minor prelude to the mind-boggling sequence that I had no idea was about to take me on a crazy spin.

I was the creator. The producer. I played the key role in screen-play. Costume design? My arena. Camera ? Who else! I picked up the faces for my cast. With every line I heard from the movie, the faces , the colour of hair and the hairdo , the location , the passersby evolved to make it perfect. I could See The movements. The expressions. The gestures. The passion. The grievance…. Nostalgia. ..Excitement and what not.At this juncture I have to give credit to the script and the voices that not only initiated the trip but also made it exciting and beautiful. In essence the movie was about a couple who met by sheer chance and discovered each other.

Wasn’t it Oscar Wilde who said that “God lives in the details” ? Well….could not have been truer. I felt like God.
