[TIP] How to fall in love?



Hello Hai,

I guess you're talking about teenager boys and girls. I think it's a silly
thing for an adult to fall in love (in its real sense) with a cute star from
a movie or a magazine. When I was young, I "fell in love" with Isabelle Adjani,
Sandra, Steffi Graf, and the list goes on. You name it :)

A tip for all of you who are young males, say around 20 or below: check out all
three movies in the "Three Colors" trilogy. You will certainly "fall in love"
with all three heroines in these movies: Juliette Binoche, Julie Delpy,
and Irene Jacob! They will blow your mind away :-)

BTW, even when I don't underrate Tom Cruise, I think "Top Gun" is one of the
most stupid movie ever made in history, even when considering the standard
of Hollywood studios (well, I have seen something worse, but "Top Gun"
is so popular all over the world). It's sad to see that Kelly McGillis
who played beautifully in "The Witness" alongside with "Indianna" Harrison
Ford also committed herself in this smut. The story is so banal that
it is mostly suitable for youngsters who believe in such a story like "you
join the army, kill the enemy in the most powerful and humiliating way, then
you'll get the cute girl for your reward -- life is such simple, isn't it?".
Anyway, *many* adults do believe in it! No comment!

Watch "Wings of Desire" from Wim Wenders made in '87! Or the more popular
"Paris, Texas" also from him made in '83. "Paris, Texas" is also a road-movie
much like "Rain Main" in plot. I can recommend many other works, but
let's stop here! BTW, I have no problem with "Rain Man" in general (even
if I may not like it), and I respect your feelings from this movie. It's
just good to have a meaningful debate sometimes!

Cheers,
