BTW & OT - I'm trying to figure out why your icons, when they show up on my LJ, have both your screen-names and mine underneath them. I'd never noticed that elsewhere.
Huh? I only see my name. I really don't know what to say.
When I watched the movie - something like 5 years ago - I was at the start of my existential crysis and I remembered that I felt connected with all the three protagonists but on different levels. I connected to Virginia because she was the artist. In the movie she was handling her mental issues by being over-protected by her family (Strangerly her situation is similar to my current situation) but at the time I was much more similar to Laura, I was trying to suppress all my feelings and being a dutyful person. Anyway I felt more clarity in Virginia's thoughts because I'm naturally a thinker - not so much the doer - and I always try to analyze things. In the movie Virginia is the one who thinks about all these lives and creates the convergences and maybe that's what a true artist does. I'm fascinated by this process and, you know, being a thinker I'm always trying to connect and analyze things.
About the Clarissa/Buffy: I was going to say that her dying lover is Angel not Spike. Spike is maybe her forgotten actual lover, but Angel is her "true love" and her great burden and someone totally self-absorbed and really charismatic (He was at the center of the stage even if the protagonist was Clarissa and he dies a very tragical and theatrical death) Personally I loved Meryl Streep perfomance because of her ... I don't know, motherly appareance? She seemed really perfect for the role - so controlling and strong and fragile at the same time. Her final look of acceptation warms my heart, but I think that all the performances were incredibly good - even the male protagonists were really good - and Julianne Moore was so beautiful. Everyone thinks that Nicole Kidman is attractive, but I'm sincerely much more impressed by Moore's beauty. Well, the gustibus!

I need to read the book. I didn't do it so far.
