One beat at a time.....

Mr. Heartthrob

Interesting title? Not one that would normally be associated with such a Spanish styled home with corridors and understated style.A new year brought not only a new vision and new opportunity to myself and my business growth.I was reminded of life and the ever pressing thoughts of reality, health and family values, once more.

I found myself pulling this film from the filed DVDs in my lot.I was having a similar situation and on a daily basis referring ever so paralleled to Ms.Eve Marks and her situation with her father, minus the alcohol and adding a heart condition to the plot.

A safe looking facade,overgrown with color and textures,many like our characteristics and mannerisms that we carry with us on a daily basis.Not to look too quickly passing the thorns which are too quickly placed to prick and cause wear and tear and possible bleeding along the way.

I love this film, it parallels my life as one of three sisters.I can relate to this in and out state of caring for the daddy and all the while trying to stay on the fore front, tend the family and be successful at the career.All the while there are gorgeous scenes,detail to the interiors and even the perfect orange roses throughout the film.

Here there is more added to Eves plate, but as the solid sister, she takes it on and  in the end is glad for doing so.

This by the way is a favorite entryway.

I believe that I could have taken this picture last week.

The phone really needed to be surgically attached to my hand.

There go my roll over minutes!

Notice the floor, the arched and painted doorway, and the chevron floor pattern?

This one scene is a particular favorite of mine.

Notice all the detail is on the dad?

Everything else is pale in comparison, from his attire to his stance it is all about him, much like his situation and the time of their lives in the film.

The artwork is almost ethereal in nature.

I love the look and feel against the chalky textured walls.

How about this place of rest?

 The unmade and unorganized bedding,though restful it is a mess and almost would swallow you up if you were to stop and sit a spell.

How about the artwork? KEEPING YOUR HEAD ABOVE NOT BELOW THE CLOUDS?

Enough room to move around but centered on a place of ethereal resting.

Another kitchen shot,ice cream in the bowl?

Eve is oblivious to ordinary moments in this part of the film.

Yet life is still going on and time will not stand still. Love the look of this kitchen, the simple and trim free door ways in and out of the space.

Clean and yet enough for living and living in a stress free environment.

In the closing of the film,though the beloved has moves on...the three find solace in each other.

Learning to cherish the every day and to not take it for granted.

My own story was one of happiness and extreme luck.

New and scientific breakthroughs my own loved one has been spared for the time being,a reminder to not only love life to the fullest but to not ignore ones limitations or faults.

Two different worlds,yet so parallel each with a common thread for a life lesson.

Good weekend,
