#12 Are You Mister Lonely?

Mayu

Everyone somehow  performs someone in their life... to make surrounding people happy or to protect themselves because they are too innocent to expose their heart toward society.

I watched the movie called " Mister Lonely" few days ago, and this made me impressed, heartwarming and feel dearness for them.  I felt strong sympathize for characters' sensitive heart and awkward way to live.
This movie was directed by Harmony Korine in 2007, starred by Diego Luna, Samantha Morton, Denis Lavant and focuses on romance between impersonaters.

Michael, who lives as Michael Jackson works in Paris and meets the young woman who lives as Marilyn Monroe. He soon is charmed by her angelic smile and starts to live in Scottish castle with her and many other impersonaters. they live for themselves building their own theater to hold performance show. One day, they could have show but it was failure. Thus, they dissapoints and moreover, Marilyn kills herself. This hit Michael strongly and he decides to turn back to his appartment. Then, he hear her voice says " Never give up!". So he makes up his mind to live as himself...

I encouraged by this movie because they found happiness and true relationship with struggling with their inner hearts though it contains unhappy events in this movie. I really love this simple but beautiful direction. In addition, this movie cannot be fantastic without this music " Mister Lonely" sung by Bobby Vinton!!!!!!
This unforgettable and sorrowful voice and melody must impress you deeply!!


So, I recommend you to watch this movie, I am sure this would make your heart warm!!!!

  1. Mister Lonely is a famous dance tune recorded by Bobby Vinton in 1962.
    According to wikipedia, "The song describes a soldier who is sent overseas and has no communication with his home; the singer laments his condition and wishes for someone to talk with."
    The song was released at the peak of the Vietnam war, which made it a big hit.
