I remember after Titanic, there was a movie by Leonardo DiCaprio that was released in Manila. It was about the poet Arthur Rimbaud and his unique friendship with fellow poet Paul Verlaine. I was reading Rimbaud’s poetry then, and I didn’t know anything about him. I didn’t have access to the internet and books. So, I was very keen to watch the movie. I asked my cousins if they’d watched it with me. Of course, they said yes. They’re very excited because it’s Leo and it’s free. It was a weird and different kind of love story so much so that when we got out of the theater, they turned to me and said, “Damn you, Mar. What the hell did you make us watch?” They seemed shocked and confused. I wonder if my sweet cousins still remember the movie… and Rimbaud.
