I made a brief mention regarding Smell of Rain, a local production. You can go to moviexclusive.com to check out some interview and review on the movie which was given 4 stars there. They earned 4 stars not because of the quality of the movie but because you can 'smeel' their honesty and sincerity in producing the movie. I found that description rather surreal considering today's world. It's all about money, ask Chelsea!
But I check out their main website here
And I do find that sincerity, I guess. The director took 10 years to accumulate the needed 150,000$ fund to produce the movie of her dream. It's only fitting, therefore, that the movie talks about hope and courage. Do I have the courage to pursue a dream that will take 10 years to accomplish? That woman did not even know if she would ever get to produce the movie 10 years ago. But she lived her dream and she made it. Ah.. amazing people.
moviexclusive.com has this to say:
In fact, this 92-minute movie is filled with voiceovers, and feature many silent scenes. The affecting opening voiceover by Xiao Qi (the main character) justifies this mood, and sets the record straight by telling audiences that “people often talk too much, and they do not mean what they say most of the time anyway”
Love that comment. The most important things are often left unspoken.
There are those moment when you neither see nor hear a single thing about God but you can sort of sense God. Smell of Rain is one of these moments.
Rain.. isn't it amazing?
Watching the pouring rain,
Listening to the melodious raindrop,
Smelling its unique scent,
And finally, standing right under the big blue sky, feeling that sensation as the rain fall on you, caressing you from head to toe.
Few things are better than such experience.
