Breakfast on Pluto

Fue una agradable sorpresa que esta película y yo coincidiéramos. La disfruté al máximo: llorando, enterneciéndome, disfrutando de los diálogos excelentes y asombrándome de la increíble actuación de Cillian Murphy.

Desde mi punto de vista, esta película es acerca de cómo permanecer fiel a la esencia de uno mismo sin importar las consecuencias, cómo permanecer de pie mientras se busca y sobre el deseo de amar y ser amado.

Algunos fragmentos de los diálogos que me encantaron:

Billy Hatchett: You're way out of your league, Patrick. You don't know what you're dealing with. Don't fucking know.
Patrick "Kitten" Braden: Oh, I do. I know, all right. I knew you were only joking about the roses... and the sweets, too, probably. But it was nice while it lasted.

Patrick "Kitten" Braden: Well, it's my mother really, I call her that... to pretend it's a story... that's happening to someone else, you see.
Mr. Silky String: Why do you pretend that?
Patrick "Kitten" Braden: Beacause otherwise I might cry and never stop.

Bertie: What did she realize, Kitten?
Patrick "Kitten" Braden: That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs.
Bertie: What's wrong with that?
Patrick "Kitten" Braden: Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had...
Bertie: Where?
Patrick "Kitten" Braden: On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.

Patrick "Kitten" Braden: If I wasn't a transvestite terrorist, would you marry me?

Robin 2: What do you know about Mitzi Gaynor?
Robin 1: Nothing. But as Oscar Wilde said, "I love to talk about nothing. It's the only thing I know anything about."
