The Book by Paulo Coelho changed my life, saved my life ...
So i had to vid that movie !
I hope you'll understand the words and the message in this ...

-----------

After you decide that I'm depressed or
whatever, you'll put me on meds, right ?
I go back to work and take
my new antidepressants.
Have dinner with my parents, persuade
them that I'm back to being the normal one
and it never gets
me in any trouble.
Then one day,
some guy ask me to marry him.
The first year we make
love all the time.
Then the second and third
less and less.
But, just as we're getting sick
of each other, I'll get pregnant.
Ten years into it,
he'll have an affair...
because I'm... too busy
and I'm too tired.
I'll find out...
I'll threatened to kill him...
his mistress... myself.
We'll get passed it.
Later he'll have another one.
And i'll live the rest of my days.
Sometimes, wishing my kids
could have the life that I never had.
Other times... secretly pleased
they're turning into repeats of me
I'm fine... really.


So i'm gonna die after all ?

I have to wait that long ?

In our society, we feel we must
be happy, if we're not happy...
we feel hopeless,
we feel like... failures.

Do you play piano ? - No !

Is that why they came here for?
To be the fucking same as everybody else?

I hate your stupid desk...
and I hate your ugly ties.
And I hate your ridiculous socks.
And I hate the jerks
in my office, who think...
the money they earn
makes them to chit.
And more than anything,
I hate the zombies on the subway...
who have forgotten
all of their dreams...
or the fact that
they ever had any to begin with !

Desires contradict fears.
These days most people replace all their emotions with fear.

I could fall in love with you right now.

Everyone has dreams but only a few realize them.

I want to live here. I want to go to the beach. I want to see the ocean and i want to feel the sand. I want to have a hug taco from my favorite taco stand. I want to walk into a irish pub and i want to order a Guiness.
There's so much about myself that i don't know ...

Until she founds out from some other doctor that she's perfectly healthy, she'll consider each day a miracle, which is my view .. it is.

  • @eugTheCrotch what the hell?! I never said you were too stupid to understand I meant some people will "get" this movie better than others depending on their experiences. Plus I have been processing your comments and replying to them explaining why I disagree in what I think is a very polite manner. Bottom line: I like this movie, and none of your comments are going to change that. You are entitled to your own opinion, and so am I. Period.

  • @eugTheCrotch I don't want to turn this into a war because clearly you don't understand the movie and that would be unfair to you. You don't have to like this movie, just let the people who do enjoy it for what it is

  • This message is to eugTheCrotch. You clearly don't understand the message of the movie at all. It has nothing to do with her beauty which facilitated things for her to find a nice good looking man and fall in love with. Previous to this happening in the story, she had everything, beauty, work, friends, guys who were interested on her and a normal life above her inner problems. She just didn't feel happy and she didn't know what she wasn't meant to live for. She didn't know herself or had the de

  • amazing video, love you!

  • @midnatz lol i got it pretty accurately. implying i'm too stupid to understand doesnt make me stupid at all, makes u stupid instead coz ure already raising suspicions without ever actually trying to process my previous comments and doing so to make a point is what ignorants usually resort to.

  • @eugTheCrotch well in the world I live in depression can happen to anyone. I'm not going to tell my story to everyone on youtube though. And yes, the actors in this movie are attractive, but what do you expect? It's a movie, of course the actors are going to look nice. Also, Veronika's reasons for depression are hinted at subtly throughout the movie, eg the career she chose, not having a dream to live out, etc.

  • @midnatz well i dont know where u live but in the world i live in depression doesn't hit no one randomly just because. when the movie kicked off she was already depressed, was institutionalized and met a very good looking man who loved her back because guess what, she's pretty too. so all the movie communicated to me is that great things always happen to those who look amazing. she never really struggled to earn anything, she won the lottery and i don't think thats profound at all

  • @eugTheCrotch It's subtle. The fact that there is no obvious in-your-face reason Veronika is suicidal is one of the brilliant things about this movie. Depression is never that simple. Also Eduard is already an intelligent person as you pick up on throughout the movie, he just doesn't talk is all. Veronika's presence is what inspires him to communicate.

    Also you see the moment Veronika "snaps out of it". I don't expect everyone to understand this film, but I thought that part was pretty clear.

  • @midnatz like when edward who could barely speak or walk independently suddenly emancipates within an hour. plus we could barely tell why veronika was depressed, how or if she snapped out of it. the movie was hardly about depression. veronika decides to die is a ordinary love story that happens to take place in a mental facility.

  • @eugTheCrotch well that's your opinion. I thought the acting was superb though, I know what depression feels like and I was amazed at how accurately it was portrayed
