Today we are at Cleveland Film Festival watching a French film >>un baiser, si vous plait?<< And together with the talk of Nokolaj and the Carpathian concert this week, I strongly felt the power of one word again: Ephemeral.
I have written in the previous entry that musical moments are ephemeral, and so are the wonderful moments in life. In this film, in the end, a good kiss is ephemeral although it is one of the best moments, however, if we make it last longer, there'll be other complications that make it less wonderful and soon reveal the hard side of life. Even if it worked, how do we know the good kiss is not going to be "ephemeral" eventually? There are many good moments in life and of most of them we simply cannot make an effort to let them last longer and have to let them go. While this appears to be such a shame and pain, it might be the best thing to do in the long run. Human beings are so fickle and yet are incapable of grabing the moments to make it forever. And considering how life is indeed so wonderful and yet ephemeral in the universe. This is the deepest paradox beyond the deepest sorrow of human being.
