the way we were


the trailer went "Streisand. Redford. Together!", set to the sad music of The Way We Were. that was hilarious. it cant get any cheesier. i wonder wat kind of funny trailers they have back then.

a Sydney Pollack romance flick cant be that disappointing, i thought. it wasnt. it didnt have the premise of a typical romance flick. there wasnt any happy ending, thou no one died in the end. there's plenty of political talk. and there's no wisecracking sidekick to tell them how they sld fall in love.

so it's a story bout two people who fell in love years later after college. in the end, they couldnt get over their differences and had to go their separate ways.

honestly, i watched it for Barbra. and i now have new-found interest in Robert Redford cos he so suave in this movie. i'm so gonna watch Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. but anws, Barbra was ravishing. she's aged so much, but that VOICE. IMO, she's one of the best singers ever. her catalogue is marvelous. and her Essentials album is one of my treasures. her career is any singer's dream: Oscars, Grammys, wat have u. amazing. i'm in the mood to catch Yentl and Funny Girl now.

i found the movie abit long, even thou it's onli a tiny 118mins. yar. not life changing, but it's an o-k movie.

i'm gonna watch Devil wears Prada tml. come rain or shine. desperately. and after i'll prob be on a Meryl high and watch Adaptation and Prime. haha.
