MORE House of Dancing Water

Hello, Friends!

This was my and Chris' conversation at the retail shop, just after having seen House of Dancing Water.

James: That was mind numbing...

Chris: I know... just spectacular. But... what did the motorcycles have to do with it?

James: Nothing. It's a circus. Every circus has a motorcycle section. At least they tried to tie it all in with the narrative by revealing one of the guys as the leading man.

Chris: Oh... I was wondering about that... What's the narrative?

James: I don't know... The "story" wasn't linear, that's for sure. Just episodes of emotions, really... Fear, anger and danger, joy...

Chris: Hm...

James: Think we can buy a DVD to bring back with us to Hong Kong?

Chris: Don't think so... Not so soon, anyway. I'd assume they'd want people to come to Macau and see the show, rather than purchase a DVD.

James: True.

Chris: Let's eat.

James: Yes, lets. Fuck, that was so good... I don't even wanna tak photos of Madonna's "Evita" frocks anymore...


With Affection,
James

Yup, that blur seemingly suspended hundreds of feet in mid-air is a motorcyclist and his machine.
