Elegy

I for one, specifically for a woman, it's all about men's fantasy.

David (Ben Kingsley) has a fulfilled life.

As a professor, he teaches what he has been engaged in.

His house is filled with his favorite artworks or picturebooks.

He doen't seem to be a sociable person, but he has a buddy

whom he can tell almost everything on his mind.
Not only a good pal, he also has a casual sex partner for 20 years while he's divorced.

What else do you want in your life?

It was flesh of young and beautiful lady. So cliche !!

Then, there she is.

Consuela (penelope Cruz), who attends one of his lectures,

captures his attention like crazy.

I was speechlessly stunned when she first appeared on the screen.

Needless to say, she's a gorgeous latin beauty, but she looked much more beautiful than ever with a pure white shirt on,

and with her bangs.

They're romantically involved in a while.Before getting into an intimate relationship, David narrates his feeling, how much he's craving for her and her body, which is a bit gross to me.

One day Consuela invites David to her graduation party,

which means he has to meet her family.

He's terribly afraid of being thought he's too old for her and he barely says "Yes" after a tons of hesitation.

But on that day, he calls her, like "I can't make it. I'm involved in an traffic accident."

You know it's not a true.

WTF !! So self-centered !!

This leads their estrangement for 2 years.

But one out-of-the-blue message from Consuela on his machine makes their connection resumed. It turns out not to be necessarily pleasant one, though.

Consuela has tumor in her breast and needs surgery.

Lump in her boob. It really matters.

Not her lung, not stomach, not brain...
She asks Davis to take pics of her breasts and he says OK...

David visits her at the hospital and responds, "I'm here." climbing into the bed when Consuela says "I'll miss you."

He seems satisfied with what he did for her.

Maybe their relationship would go on for relatively a long time,

like this way.

He doesn't say "I'm here FOR YOU."

I guess this reflects exactly who he is like.

It's not a kind of a film that I want to watch again.

Except Penelope in immaculate white shirt ;-)
