Watching Notting Hill on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
New interest: Marc Chagall. My quick research loves his "zest for life." Zest for life? Intrigue.
In the movie, Anna Scott (Julia Roberts, of course.) describes the painting as "It feels like how being in love should be. Floating through a dark blue sky." Not having been in love myself, I don't really understand this. To me floating through a dark blue sky is more lonely than promotion of togetherness (which is what falling in love is, isn't it?) Maybe I'm wrong about the whole process. What does falling in love feel like? Is it lonely? Or maybe the dark blue sky is just the unknown. Like falling in love is wading through uncharted waters where those two particular people had not been together before. But then, if you fall in love more than once in your life, do you explore a different dark sky, or just a new area of the same sky? Or is it the same dark sky, but since you are experiencing it with a different person it all looks different. But it is always the same, isn't it.
I prefer the prior explanation: the dark blue sky is loneliness.
