elation

I can't describe how much I enjoyed Inglourious Basterds. Cinema is my first love, I don't have the drive to create my own, but I truly appreciate it and always have since I was a little boy watching Disney cartoons. Not only is it an escape, but a way to dream and in many cases, a way to better oneself. Like a good song or book, films can help you through a rough time or instill wisdom. I've often been surprised when a film helped me work out a problem that I had been having. It's the idea that we're not alone in our feelings. When a filmmaker has the courage to try to depict truth, or an actor plays a role in a sympathetic way, our horizons are instantly broadened and we are opened up to new possibilities. So to all the good filmmakers out there, I say thank you... I don't know what I'd do without you.
