I've decided I'm going to start updating this blog with not only my own thoughts and stories, but also with anything I find that inspires me. In this way I will keep track of the things I find that inspire me, and I will hopefully be able to help others find the same inspiring things.
With that in mind, here is my first inspirational thing that I will put up:
This is a clip from an amazing film called In The Mood For Love
It is a Chinese film from Hong Kong, directed, written and produced by Wong Kar-wai who is one of the most influential and highly acclaimed directors in China.
I find this film and this clip with the music very inspiring, and maybe you will too.
The link (unfortunately you'll have to copy and paste. I don't know how to put a video into the blog post. Will find out soon):

The music is actually not original to the movie. The piece played here is called "Yumeji's Theme" and was originally composed for the film Yumeji by Seijun Suzuki. Interestingly enough, as the name denotes, Suzuki is a Japanese director. So this is a Chinese film with at least one piece of music from a Japanese director. To me this is surprising considering the relationship China and Japan have traditionally held throughout history.
Just a bit of interesting info.
Hope you like the clip on youtube!
