My Favourite Film (by sarah)
I saw a film a long time ago when I was in my early teens that had me tingling and longing to watch it again, I have always mantained that it was my favourite film but have been unable to track it down and no one has ever heard of it. I had begin to think that I had imagined its existance and yet it seemed quiet odd and seemed like it should be known. In researching wikipedia links for yesturdays posts I think I have found it!
I remebered it as being called Angel Eggs Apocolypse, what I remebered of it was that it was about a girl who has an egg that is really human dreams and that she was gaurding it and wasn't allowed to sleep, her older brother appears but she doesnt realise that thats what he is and he tries to guide her through her task. She has to learn to become an angel like him.
But he tells her a story about these sky whales that used to swim in the sky of a world but their song was so buetiful and lovely that they where hunted to extinction and then their world was sad. The girl falls asleep and then her brother smashes her egg.
She awakes and is disturbed by its distruction but the brother is the angel of second chances so she falls into our world, the world where she will be a propper angel and eggs appear as he is the angel of second chances.
Now this isnt exactly what wikipedia says on this, what I was doing was I was looking up surrealism after linking it to the Bruge post when I spotted Angel's Egg amoungst the writting. I have been hunting for reference to this film outside of my head for so long now that it just sort of jumped off the page. So I looked at it and its so similiar that maybe I just remembered it wronge - it was along time ago - it turns out to be symbolic of apocolypse and re-birth which is interesting but they say she dies at the end where I though she was falling into a new world - not sure why I should have thought that. But still it does mean I can now track it down and watch it again.
