Ain't nothing like the real thing...

Outside the box? My kind of movie!...
Numa sequência quase preocupante de visionamento de filmes estranhos, assisti com um sorriso nos lábios e uma lágrima no olho esquerdo a esta loucura saudavelmente transtornante que faz uma original abordagem ao conceito universal de Amor.
A mensagem é simples: o primeiro amor é o amor próprio. Só sabendo como gostar de nós mesmos saberemos como amar o próximo.
Grande lição. Grande filme.
Fez-me lembrar esta música:
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing

I got your picture hangin' on the wall
It can't see or come to me when I call your name
I realize it's just a picture in a frame

I read your letters when you're not near
But they don't move me
And they don't groove me like when I hear
Your sweet voice whispering in my ear

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing

I play the game, a fantasy
I pretend I'm not in reality
I need the shelter of your arms to comfort me

No other sound is quite the same as your name
No touch can do half as much to make me feel better
So let's stay together

I got some memories to look back on
And though they help me when you phone
I'm well aware nothing can take the place of being there

So let me get the real thing
So let me get the real thing
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing

(Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell)
