few years ago i saw a movie, Once. it was a great movie set in Dublin. the beauty of the movie was its simplicity in the story, and dialog. very conversational, close to reality, day-to-day things.. another movie that belongs to similar genre is, All the Days Before Tomorrow.
an year or so ago i came across another film, Waking Life, and ended up really liking it. it revolves around lot of conversations and ideas about life. a bit philosophical in nature, but very thought provoking movie. i was browsing my Netflix today, and saw a recommendation for another movie, Before Sunset. as it was going to expire by 1st of Jan, i figured i'd watch it. as the movie progressed, i started recognizing the story telling, conversational patterns of the movie and after a bit of looking up, it turned out the write/director is the same guy that did Waking Life - Richard Linklater. i finished watching it and really liked the movie, and decided watching the movie before that as well, Before Sunrise. Linklater's story telling is really intriguing, and there is lot of talking-with-a-movie feel, than watching-a-movie feel to them. i became a fan.
anyway, thinking about all these and watching these movies is making me really get on that idea of starting on my short film this year. well, i better get on the story/screenplay atleast. i was talking to a coworker that does short films, and i think i am going to work on it this year.
