"2046"

For Some reason, the synopsis and the music from the movie “2046” intrigued me. I am definitely checking this movie out. I know it is slow with a tinge too much mannerism, but nonetheless, 2046 looks very interesting.

Listening to one of the main song from this movie (Speak Low By Billie Holliday Bend Remix) while sitting in a coffee shop at "The Hotel" in Vegas this past week also gave me the chance to reflex on a recent (albeit sudden) realization...

We all have memories, good ones, bad ones, happy ones, sad ones. But dwelling on the memories will never allow you to move on, and at a certain time, we must all move on, the trigger could be anything. Some self apparent, some very subtle. I think I've just had mine.
