"Lai Yiu-fai... we could start over." - Happy Together (1997)
We could start over. It is one of the most powerful and moving dialogues that I've heard in the movies. Ok, forgive me for being a film geek, but please indulge me. It's from a 17 year old Hongkongnese film, set in Argentina. A couple, living out the waning days of their relationship, planned to visit the breathtaking Iguazu Falls. In the end, in a heartbreaking scene, we get to see that only one of them made it. But there it was, in that tragic-somewhat- bittersweet-ending is a glimmer of hope. That whatever happens, we can always start with a clean slate.
A day before the new year, it is always good to know that we can always start over.
And yes, Iguazu Falls was breathtaking. Happy New Year, All!
