If you haven't been to this site, give it a go. Its a video site like YouTube but a lot more.... mature? Kinda like - if YouTube were MTV, then Vimeo would be a....... Art gallery? Vimeo videos are a lot more serious, they can be very weird and bizarre but always very creative.
The videos we saw were very thought provoking - so much that it's inspired me to write this short post! Wow imagine that.
Anh asked me "how come you're watching videos from this site?"
I thought maybe because I'm getting old? Maybe getting tired of the whole pop-culture, consumerism-commercialism, same-o-same-o. Maybe I'm fancying baguettes over burgers and boutique over bubble tea.
Maybe I'll look okay in turtle necks, eat free range chickens and discuss Francis Coppola films.
Then I switched back to YouTube and realised I'm not really turning turtleneck. I just wanted to try something different that's all.
But what was funny was I discovered something about myself after watching this short film.
I learnt that, when watching movies with Anh - I'm actually concentrating quite a bit on predicting what happens next ONLY so I can quip "I knew that was going to happen!". Maybe Anh will be impressed by this? I dunno.
I made this observation because I didn't pick up how the camera and the notepad played a role in the short film. I was too busy predicting how it was going to end!
Or maybe I just didn't get it (most probable).
But either way, my brain wasn't running this fast before I watched this film, so that must be a good thing.
