If There Is No Fate And Our

I Think We All Mistake Certain Things For Happiness. I Think We Mistake Comfort For Happiness And We Mistake Pleasure For Happiness, And Entertainment For Happiness, When Really These Are Just Things We Use As Proxies For Our Happiness. We Use Them To Cheer Us Up Or Try And Achieve Brief Happiness, When Really Happiness Is Something Much More Profound And Long Lasting And Exists Within Us.

We Might Not Know We Are Seeking People Who Best Enrich Our Lives, But Somehow On A Deep Subconscious Level We Absolutely Are. Whether The Bond Is Temporary Or Permanent, Whether It Succeeds Or Fails, Fate Is Simply A Configuration Of Choices That Combine With Others To Shape The Relationships That Surround Us. We Cannot Choose Our Family, But We Can Choose Our Friends, And We Sometimes, Before We Even Meet Them.

Having Done Spaced, I Can't Even Remember It Being That Difficult On Spaced, But We Know What The End's Going To Be Like. We Know Why We're Putting In This Amount Of Work, Or Why A Shot Might Be Particularly Tricky, Because We Know That What We Do Is Create A Whole Package. It's The Writing, The Performances, And The Style Of Camerawork, That's What We're Working Toward, And We're Prepared For That.

Plainly It Isn't An Exact Science, Despite It Being A Complex Interaction Of Micro-decisions And Corresponding Thought; Perhaps It Doesn't Always Work And We Pass By Some Potential Soulmates Like The Proverbial Ships In The Night, Never Quite Connecting.

There Seems To Be This Tendency Toward Denigrating Romantic Comedies As Of Late Because It Becomes Something Sort Of Cheesy Or Whatever. Whereas This Embraced What It Was. As A Fan Of When Harry Met Sally Or Annie Hall, As A Demonstration Of What Romantic Comedy Could Be And Should Be, I Immediately Phoned Nira Back And Said, "yeah, I'd Like To Do This. It'll Be Fun."
