On the way home on the subway from the Godard film, I was struck by one of those little perfect moments that only seem to happen in film.
I was standing in the car as we moved north to Bloor. My iPod was on and, at that time, was playing Massive Attack's "Protection", featuring the sultry vocals of Tracey Thorn.
A couple of seats south of me, a young couple sat, turned in the seat so that their eyes were locked on the other's. They were holding hands but also executing something of a pas de deux with their fingers, gently stroking the other. The combination of a chemistry that was palpable three metres away, the slow, balletic movement of the hand, and a song that was beautifully synced to that motion was quite lovely.
Sometimes there is magic even on the TTC.
