Two nights before I made my move to Germany I was in a fury of downloading films to fill a lovely new hard drive which has kept me company over here. After catching a snatch of the Kermode on Radio Five I thought I trust this slick haired lothario, he was reviewing an American film which turns out to be a remake of a Spanish film. I could tell he was waving his arms about in annoyance of the remake and waving his arms in praise of the original version.
Of course I downloaded the Spanish version of REC.
In a few words, set from the point of view of people locked in the building which is ground zero for a virus which causes zombification, none of them knowing what is going on, all filmed from the point of view of a news reporting team. Where this film starts is obvious, where it ends is the beauty of it. Shocking, scary and most importantly freshly executed.
Suffice to say I had to phone Lily up and tell her how scared I was.
Sometimes the past whispers in your ear, if you listen too hard you won't be able to tell the truth from all the lies. A girl I was once in love with told me she missed me a few days ago, in my heart there is always a place for her, but that place sank a few feet and pushed me to want to smoke again.
I could feel it now, I running my tongue between my teeth and lips, the taste of nicotine freshness is all that coats my tongue. If I spent all my life wishing we were together, I would have put a noose around my neck a long time ago. I miss her too, but then I miss that time in my life, I'm not allowed to have it back, instead I decided that we should all make our own life in the present.
