Was watching American Beauty again. i have lost count the number of times i have seen that movie. and every time i see the movie, there is something i discover which i missed the previous times. so this time, i finally noticed that the soundtrack of this movie is as beautiful as the movie itself.

American Beauty - Thomas Newman this has been in my player in a loop.

I have written about this movie in an earlier post American Beauty. and today again when i see the movie,  beautiful is the only word that comes to my mind.

on a separate note. i have watched some movies again and again. like American Beauty, i either discover some new aspect about the movie or i just notice something that i previously had not. for e.g. SLB's Devdas. the movie was such an assault on one's eyes. but i first watched it once for the actors, then for the ornate clothes and ostentatious sets, then for the music. Titanic was another experience. not withstanding the fact that i saw it at a pretty young age where one very impressionable and one's tastes aren't too developed, it was an overwhelming experience to watch the movie for its special effects, the beautiful art direction and set decoration, the good-looking actors and the haunting music. and i happened to notice all this in subsequent viewings of the movie :P. Dil Chahta Hai would be another example. the actors, the clothes, the details of different houses of the three lead actors, the fact that every single frame of the movie has the color blue in it.

if only i had seen a new movie for every repeat viewings of these movies, my ever-increasing must-watch movie list might have been a tad more shorter ;)
