I went out and rented "At First Sight" this afternoon. (I figured after watching The Star Wars Trilogy for the third time in one week, it was time to find something new.) I'm not a Val Kilmer fan, so I've never watched this movie, but I'd seen previews for it recently and thought, what the heck.
So anyway, I only got about 40 minutes into it, when there was a passage in which Mira Sorvino's character is describing the way Val Kilmer's character makes her feel and it struck something in me. I couldn't take my mind off it. So I wanted to share it with everyone...
Amy: Have you ever listened to the rain, I mean really listened?
Betsy: Is this like a smell the roses thing?
Amy: No, it's not. Betsy, for the past five years, i've lived with a man with the emotional content of a soap dish. The only time i ever saw him cry was when he was doing our tax return three years ago. I mean, I need more than that. There's something about this guy....he makes me feel like I'm waking up after being asleep for a long time. I mean, I'm inspired again, I can draw again. The way that he touches me...
Betsy: Here we go, It's the sex.
Amy: No, no sex, not yet. It's just that when he touches me, I feel like he does it to know me better, not to get something from me. And when he listens to me, it's as though my words are the last sounds on the planet. And even though he doesn't know what I look like, I feel like he really knows who I am. He just moves me, that's all.
