13. I have lost someting - "American Beauty"


"American Beauty" is great movie with many levels of perception wonderfully woven in one plane.
What I like most about this is the way the dialogues are written.

After watching the movie I just selected dialogues and typed it to one document.
And this is the result.
Even a single word is not changed and if you like this the credit goes to the director - Sam Mendes - and the rest of the team. You can read more about the movie at:

I have lost something.

I'm not exactly sure what it is.

But I know, I didn't always feel this...

Sedated.

But you know what?

It's never too late to get it back.

There's nothing worse in life than being ordinary.

It was one of those days...

Where it's a minute away from raining

And there was this electricity in the air.

You can almost hear it.

That's the day I realized that there was this...

Entire life behind things...

And this incredibly benevolent force...

That wanted me to know that there was no reason to be afraid...

Ever.

I need to remember.

Sometimes there's so much...

Beauty...in the world.

I feel like I can't take it...

And my heart...is just going to...cave in.

Remember those posters that said...

"Today is the first day of the rest of your life "?

Well.

That’s true with everyday except one--

The day you die.

I had always heard your entire life flashes...

In front of your eyes the second before you die.

First of all, that one second...

Isn't a second at all.

It stretches on forever.

Like an ocean of time.

For me, it was lying on my back...

Watching falling stars.

I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me.

But it's hard to stay mad when there’s so much beauty in the world.

Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once and it's too much.

My heart fills up like a balloon that’s about to burst.

And then I remember to relax...

And stop trying to hold on to it.

And then it flows through me like rain.

And I can't feel anything but gratitude...

For every single moment...

Of my stupid little life.

You have no idea what I’m talking about. I'm sure.

But don't worry.

You will someday.

Love is old. Love is new...

Love is all. Love is you...

Because the sky is blue...

It makes me cry...
