Review of Waking the Dead (2000) by Alia I — 10 Oct 2007
My favourite love story of all time. It broke my heart. Tender and intensely passionate. The chemistry between Crudup and Connelly was palpable. About the enduring power of love. Tragic and beautiful, I wept from start to finish. I actually hurt watching this film.
Sarah Williams: You can't be everything to me.
Fielding Pierce: I want to be.
Sarah Williams: Oh, dear. I love that you said that.
Sarah Williams: I don't want to watch you turn into a cog in their machine.
Fielding Pierce: That's so fucking condescending. Sometimes cogs can make machines run a little but better.
Sarah Williams: Sometimes yes. Mostly they turn in circles and wear out. Then they get replaced.
Sarah Williams: You have to love me too. Not an image, not an idea. And not in spite of who I am.
