"You just have to see that love is wrapped in beauty and hidden away in between the seconds of your life..."

"...If you don't stop for a minute, you might miss it"

It's one of the lines from the movie i just watched. after being bombarded with so many movies churned out from hollywood big machine, it's such a pleasure to discover a gem of an english movie coming from UK. it's called cashback.

got this movie off from my flatmate. watched the show without any expectations but at the end, i truly enjoyed the show. it was done with so much facets, the lines are brilliant. sensitive, profound and emotional. it's also real and true to life about how we all deal with things in life.

the story starts with an art student ben who just broke up with her girlfriend. he develops insomnia and finds it hard to forget her. he deals with it by working at sainsburys on the night shift. he meets different characters who to each, deals with time differently as they have to pass the time working at a sainsburys, which isn't the most exciting job. there, ben discovers that he could stop time and appreciate nudity of the female form. dang, this movie deals with naked women in such beauty, i almost turned straight for a second.

he starts to develop a relationship with the checkout girl and at the start, she was this pale, rather unattractive girl but as the movie continues, we see her beauty bloom and at the end, i see her in a completely different light.

i have to say this is one of the nicest movie i have watched in a long time. there is so much sensitivity in it, dealing with loss of love, a unique perspective of life, and love, and everything in between it.

i'll be catching two movies this coming weekend, indy jones and satc. i highly doubt the movies will make a mark on my mind as cashback did. but then watching an aged action hero combined with a glamorous, fashionable carrie, who's complaining.
