I went to the theatre last night to see "The Life of Pi" and I LOVED it.

I cried and cried, and if my mom wasn't with me, or if I was alone, I would have cried more. It could have been my mood also.

There were previews for Les Miserables, and my mom and I both commented on how much we'd love to see that when it comes out. It really looks well-done.

Uh, I totally want to go see Les Mis-I've wanted to see the play on Broadway for a while. But, now that it is coming to the theaters I am psyched!! Im moved a lot by movies, that is probably why I love them so much. I get fixated on a particular actor, and then try to go on IMDB and look up their biographies. Then, I proceed to rent all the movies that they have done. Yep, seen almost all of Daniel Craig's movies, also a lot of Gerard Butler's movies. Funny, it seems I only get fixated on HOT dudes movies. Then I get fixated on a genre, like foreign films or indie films.

*sigh* Gerard Butler........be still my heart!

I also adore Robert Downey Jr. That man just keeps getting hotter and hotter to me.

Uh oh Kim- I see you have an eye on MY Man! LOL! He gets better with age...

yes, certain works of art seem to energize every fiber of my being.

i was lucky enough to catch a rodan exhibition years ago, and for some reason, on that day, i felt completely overwhelmed by emotions.

`schindler's list' hit the emotions in me big time.

life of pi is a fantastic book, and i have a spot in my heart for it.

See now LUST-OVE is something that used to be a real trigger for me. the feeling of falling in lust with someone (the joy of hypersexual moods) what a trigger for mania. Now with the meds not so much =( Too bad Sarah Gilbert is hitting for the other team. (hehe)

You should definitely see the movie, Mojo! I thought it was done very well.

There's a part of "Schindler's List" that I watch over and over because of the music. This piece of classical music moves me, and was in 3 movies that I can think of......"Schindler's List", and the tango scene is "Scent of a Woman" and also in "True Lies."

The song is "Por Una Cabeza", and it truly moves me......especially the version in "Schindler's List."

OMG, Kim, I love that Tango song from Shindlers List. That movie made me bawl, I don't think I ever cried at a movie so much. I get emotional watching/listening to Tango, Also, when I listen to Spanish music (especially songs of the 30-40's which is what my Mom always listens to). I get weird during Mariachi music too. And when I went to Spain and heard/saw Flamenco, Ayayay!! It was too much for me, it stirrs up my Spanish blood. I just imagine what it was like for my Great-grandparents to grow up with this beautiful culture and music.

Mojo, you are soooo right. I went to the Met in New York and while there, I caught myself welling up with tears at the sight of some of the beautiful work. In Europe, I almost lost it while looking at a very ornate cathedral, I also love architecture. Hey, what a great post!!!

Schindlers List, and the music alone brings me to tears for some reason. My brother plays it on the piano and I cry everytime but I do not mind it. I lie experiencing emotions as well :) It is just a reminder I am alive and it is a great feeling. Les Miserables moves me too. There is a movie called "The Boy in the Striped Pajama" and "The Stoning of Soraya M." Oh wow, you will cry for sure.

a Killer movie for me too is "Pay it Forward" that ending is just tooo much. I was actually inpatient and they showed that movie to all of us needless to say the staff had a fun night (morons)

Your avatar, nobody, moves me, too.

It's the Vietnam Memorial Wall in DC? I went and saw it and could barely stay. I was in tears immediately. Same thing when I went to the Flight 93 Memorial in Pennsylvania and when I visited Ground Zero.

I'm a very sensitive person.......I know it's not really along the same lines, because they're memorials and not necessarily art, but they always bring me to tears.

I have to try to avoid movies that I KNOW will put me over the edge anymore. I tend to dwell on them and become depressed for days.

Hey Kim: I was going to answer back your hug but it is private so, here goes. I used to work as a secretary at an architectural firm and somehow working there I grew an appreciation. All the buildings in Europe are soooo beautiful, skyscrapers just don't compare to the ornate buildings in Europe. Although, I can't slam skyscrapers either-the Empire State Building is beautiful on the interior (I forget what the name of architecture is-a time period that also the Chrysler bldg. was done). Ah, it will come to me...If people would just stop and look there are beautiful buildings all around.

Art Deco, I believe.........I went on an architectural river boat cruise in Chicago once and learned a LOT about the city's buildings, old and new, and have more appreciation for some of the newer architecture like I never had before.

(I can't stop listening to Por Una Cabeza tonight)

My profile is not usually private.......sorry. I forgot that it was. Unfortunately there are reasons.......

Nature's beauty does it for me. Snowflakes, Jack Frost, trees (bare, just leafing out, ablaze in fall), streams, lakes, the sun, plants, canyons, mountains, rivers. All that gives me goose bumps and inspiration.
