Random thoughts Stray memories

Saturday, July 06, 2002

I was watching Malaysian director James Lee's movie Ah Beng Returns this afternoon and dozed off cos the auditorium was so cold. I woke up to this surreal dream sequence in the movie where for about 3 minutes, a woman was dance-hopping happy quirky steps around the room like the dancing dwarf in David Lynch's Twin Peaks, while a man stood in the corner smoking moodily. Later I found that the movie went mostly unscripted, and the director told the 2 actors that they were breaking up in this scene and to act out how they felt. The actress said she would be so happy she felt like dancing. So she did.

This is my favourite scene.
