[The Consul]

Only Hugh Manatee knows how far it has fallen from where it once was falling.

Like seeds in reverse
our blossoms disappear
returning to the flower
we never knew

but always were

Pretty lines.

If Hugh had been me, he would've thought that movie was a KWH of himself, lol. But really.
I do love that scene. (And the pre-apples bar scene, of course.) Good movie, really, overall.
(I seriously, seriously doubt those two Cambridge princesses wrote it all, fwiw.)

As for the pessimism expressed, how the once-lively-and-defiant grow stiff and dead, or how young anti-authoritarian poseurs "grow up" to shill for more bitter, "mature" truths, or how it's only getting worse, always worse, or whatever the theme of those pretty lines is: I'd post the lyrics to "The Rose" as some kind of retort, but that'd be corny. Needless to say, nothing is ever really over, nothing is unidirectional. "And when you think it's all over...it's not over...it's not over." - Tears for Fears (Yeah, screw it, I love corny music)
