I've discovered that I have a 'thing' for America of the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s; the houses, the scenery, the life. I also have a 'thing' for dramas.
This 'thing' was awakened after I saw Revolutionary Road and was strengthened after watching The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
Just had this burning desire to blog about the dialogues that I loved in Benjamin Button and in revolutionary road.
All dialogues are sourced from IMDB.
Benjamin Button
1) It's a funny thing about comin' home. Looks the same, smells the same, feels the same. You'll realize what's changed is you.
2) Benjamin, we're meant to lose the people we love. How else would we know how important they are to us?
3) You can be as mad as a mad dog at the way things went. You could swear, curse the fates, but when it comes to the end, you have to let go.
4) You never know what's comin' for ya.
5) Our lives are defined by opportunities, even the ones we miss.
6) Some people, were born to sit by a river. Some get struck by lightning. Some have an ear for music. Some are artists. Some swim. Some know buttons. Some know Shakespeare. Some are mothers. And some people, dance.
Revolutionary Road
1) You want to play house you got to have a job. You want to play nice house, very sweet house, you got to have a job you don't like.
2) Knowing what you've got, knowing what you need, knowing what you can do without - That's inventory control.
Sigh!! Somebody build me a time machine :-D
