4:47pm – “A Walk in the Clouds”, 1995

There’s Keanu, in black & white. And there he stands in Oklahoma. Without Will. Or is that Grace?

So he finds Grace (or Will?) but she’s gone all ditzy on him. I’ll bet if he finds some cutie from south of the border she’ll be a little more serious.

Oh wow, we had all forgotten about his flashbacks. He’s having black and white flashbacks. Now he’s running after a bus, just like he does in Speed. This time he has more success catching it.

I think the first time I saw “A Walk in the Clouds” was in Spanish. “Un Paseo por las Nubes.” I thought it was funny that all of the Spanish-speaking actors had to speak English for the movie and then have it dubbed back into Spanish. Keanu, of course, doesn’t speak any Spanish that we know of besides “vaya con Dios.”

I think we decided that we like the wacky, wacky emotional train ride that we’ve taken with the order of today’s movies. We went from Little Buddha (sweet movie with a message) to Speed (movie with only one message: stay away from movies that have Dennis Hopper in them) to Children Remember the Holocaust (tragic documentary with a big message) to Johnny Mnemonic (movie with no discernible message) to Walk in the Clouds (sweet movie with a message—yeah, a message of LOVE).

Keanu is sure hot in this…he has the period-piece-clean-cut-suspenders-look going on. Plus he’s playing the sweetest person in the WHOLE WORLD. (Umm, besides Buddha, that is.) He looks especially hot in those big butterfly wings.

“I believe there’s a perfect someone for everyone. Someone who will love you no matter what.”

5:59 – perfect musical montage moment. Perfect!

Everyone seems really contented with this one. With good reason.
