Nous sommes vraiment dégueulasse.

You wrote about the movie on this blog, i remember.

ah, june 2008,you posted a still from that movie ...

company

given the choise between the company of boring , stupid people or none, I'll go for the latter any time. Sometimes (??) nothing can be the better option.

Since grief is only to be owned after the loss of love, choosing not to grief means choosing not to love.

katrien

I don't think that's the same at all. I think choosing nothing over grief will pretty soon amount to choosing death over life. Boring people don't have much to do with grief, nor has loneliness much to do with death

dégueulasses (pluriel)

Yesterday I drank beer with some guys I went to school with 12 years ago. It wasn't until the end of the night that I remembered their names (we sat together rather by coincidence). We drank some beers (probably around 9-10). When I was leaving, the conversation was on the subject of "love". This one guy (same age as me, obviously) had been in a relationship for over 10 years. I said it was admirable, but that I could never do this. He said "well, I'm a realist. I know this girl is the best I'll ever have." And I said "I think you should strive for your dreamgirl".

He said "When choosing between realism and the dream, go for realism." And I said, "I'd rather die than be a realist."

I understand.

Have you seen the movie? Franchini (Seberg) is not exactly boring. But of course the whole thing is doomed from the start, and her love is too late to redeem him.

'nothing by choice' doesn't seem like 'nothing' to me:
it's a choice, that's something...
then again I haven't seen the movie.

Dens,
thank God dying is but a dream

the thing is to combine both realism and dreams.

I love the one I cannot escape from.

Isn't it" you can't escape the one you love".

@Mieke
I do not know. I always try to escape, but this time she won’t let me.
An a lot of times I need to hide away from her, and then I am happy when she calls for me, and then I happy again when I am able to leave her for a while, and so on.

No, I did not see the film. I’m more of a Delon-person (he has a smaller nose, for starters). I just got freewheeling on the choice between nothing and a “lesser” evil.
Confusing, one of my middlenames.

Belmondo's character, Michel Poiccard, says grief is stupid. He would choose nothing. Not that nothing is better than grief. But grief is a compromise. He wants "all or nothing".

Do you judge movies by the size of the main actor's nose?
