sepet & gubra

wanted to watch "Sepet" & "Gubra" when it came to the theatres during the past few yrs. As usal, due to conflicting schedules with people who appreciate such films and unable to find people who appreciate such film with un-conflicting schedules, I didn't watch the film. So you can imagine how elated I was when it was shown on Suria over the wekend.

It was a good change, and I enjoyed it. Will savour it's beauty and subtleness before blogging it in detail. Here are some of my favourite quotes from the movie:

'How long does it take to fall in love?'
'A minute. How long did it take you to fall in love with me?'
'Much less than that..'

“Let the people who never find true love believe that there is no such thing. Their faith will make it easier for them to live and die.” - Wislawa Szymborska.

and my favourite quote, a translated poem from an indian poet:
"say of him what you like
but i know my child's failings
I do not love him because he is good
but becuase he is my child
How can you know how sweet he is
when all you do is measure teh good and the bad
When I must punish him,
he becomes even more a part of me
When I make him weep, I weep with him.
i alone have a right to judge him
for only he who loves may chastise"
