Blue Spring

What a gut punch. A movie about hopelessness, aimlessness, innocence, cruelty, and finality. There's almost more in this movie that I connect with than I could possibly say. It brings back embarrassments, pains, and heartbreaks that I'd rather forget. In the end, I guess the idea is that believing things will turn out for the better is something we need to choose every day. But, man, is it hard to believe the world keeps on going sometimes. "Teacher, aren't there some flowers that never bloom?" "Flowers are meant to bloom, not to dry up. That's what I choose to believe. It's a very important thing."
