Erasing the Trails of Time

Yesterday, I got stuck with a bunch of screaming girls watching 'He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not", a French movie.

The story starts of will Angelique buying a rose for Dr. Loic Garrec through delivery, allowing the audience to grasp that Angelique has romantic feelings toward Loic (pronounced lu-ik), and by him accepting the rose, strengthens the audience's belief that Loic reciprocates it and they are dating.

Further on in the movie, Angelique reports to her friend, Heloise (pronounced hair-lu-is), that Loic is going to leave his 5 months pregnant wife for her.

Angelique is estatic when she learns that Loic intends to take her to Florence on a trip, but dispaired when he didn't show up at the airport.

That night, Loic proceeds to Angelique's house and begins calling out to her and banging her door, not missing the doorbell. Angelique, still at the airport feeling depressed, never learns of this.

A few days later, Angelique's friend, David (who appears to like her), confronts Loic, demanding the reason to why he played with her. Loic puts on a confused face, then gets pissed and with mock politeness, chased him out of his office.

It is later reported that someone had accused Loic of assault, and Angelique goes to 'quieten' her up.

After a few more mind-blowing incidents, Angelique resorts to suicide. She turns on the gas and lay herself down, consuming herself with her thoughts and memories about when she sent anonymous gifts (mostly portraying Loic) to Loic at random times, going as far as to give him a duplicate of her key.

A rewind occurs.

This time, the story is replayed from Loic's point of view, revealing that the relationship between him and Angelique was just simply part of Angelique's demented illusion. She is diagnosed with a mental problem and sent to a psychiatrist.

A few years later, she was released, finally deemed sane enough.

Back at her old room, a cleaner sets out to prepare her room for the next occupant, he finds a collage of pills stuck to the back of the closet that formed the shape of Loic.

The movie kind of has a really good title. 'He Loves Me' fits Angelique's delusion, but 'He Loves Me Not' is the harsh reality she finds out later, as suggested by the arrangement by putting 'He Loves Me' first. =D

Anyway, today, I watched China's Lost Girls. Those stupid Chinese. If they didn't have any girls, how could their sons carry on the family name if they couldn't have children?

INJUSTICE!

I've said so much. See you!
