"Grafitti Bridge:" what is "just around the corner?

What is the meaning to "Grafitti Bridge?" In the movie, they keep repeating the line "it's just around the corner." Okay... WHAT IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER? I have watched this film endlessly and it makes no sense.

Help!

The lyrics from 'Still Would Stand All Time' make it clear:

"It's just around the corner, it's just around the block
this love that I've been waiting for, a Love solid as rock
A Love that reaffirms that we R not alone
A Love so bright inside U it glows"

Perhaps in all the times you watched the movie if you'd actually listened to the lyrics occasionally.... biggrin

Try Love, It's Free

Though I prefer the idea that it is the car. That or a decent kebab shop.

I think that's why Grafitti Bridge didn't go over well. It was rather an in-depth study of the soul and if you just paid attention to the songs and not the lyrics then you kinda got lost.

I love the part about "sometimes you have to whisper." Which is so true in "life."

Although it's not UTCM, I did get what he was trying to say the first time around and cried like a biatch at the ending.

A lot of spiritual stuff going on. Not preachy, but still gets the point across.


Peace

The NPG were of course!


Film ends way to quickly though, again u can see the editing has been rushed, TC is squashed in the end credits, how dare they!

I love that angel/devil huge picture thing in Princes place during the "Still would stand all time" scene!

Even though it's the title of the film, "Grafitti bridge" is not heard till the end credits are rolling, another cut maybe! Though the fact that it is not visually in the movie is proberly a good thing though right?

Damn, so many changes have been made to that film!

The car from Ghostbusters WAS an ambulance they converted... so you're basically saying that ambulance looked a lot like an ambulance.

They are old fashioned, though.

I guess P didn't want anything to look too modern. I still think it's funny.

Well on the director's cut, it was actually around the corner, down the alley, over on 3rd street, 3 blocks down, turn left, east 1 mile to stop sign, turn right, 2nd to last turn on the right.

But they had to shorten up that bit to save time. So naturally everyone got lost.
