ReplyJust some thoughts on the connection between the family drama and the heavy visuals of the film:
The two distinct portions of the film come together in that both mean to show how we came to be. The latter does so on a much larger scale, showing quite literally the miracle of life, while the former aims to show how our development makes us into the people we are as adults, which would then effect subsequent generations. The two are certainly more connected than even that, though as we are meant to realize that every event, from the dawn of life on Earth (and perhaps before) has had an impact (though it may be minute) on the lives we live and who we eventually become.Chastain and Pitt have their own ways of raising their three, onscreen sons and this parental duel ultimately creates the man we see in the presumably present scenes featuring Sean Penn ("Mother. Father. Always you wrestle inside me.") He doesn't become either one of them, in which case life could be described as more of a circle. He is from them, but not them; a branch moving in a direction away from them, but still wholly connected and even further down resides the whole of the tree - the rest of humanity and existence.

ReplyThere's an update on this poor pup! Wisconsin Humane will be taking her into their care and working with an orthopedic specialist to get her fixed up. They are still taking donations going toward her medical costs. http://saveourcollie.chipin.com/surgery-for-5-month-old-collie-at-madacc

ReplyIf you liked Inception then I would definitely recommend catching the last two Batman films. Christopher Nolan is an all-around fantastic director and he's taken the series into pretty dramatic territory. Both films are great and #3 looks like it might be equally so.

ReplyNot a bad year for movies certainly. I was a big fan of Drive. Harry Potter 7 and X-Men: First Class were also solid. I think the studios will see a bigger return next year with the next Batman and Spider-Man films as well as The Avengers and The Hobbit on the schedule.

ReplyRenters should keep the Homestead Act in mind. You just need to send your landlord a form where they verify your rent costs for the year and that gets compared to your yearly income and depending on that you can get some money back.

Not Oak Creek, but nearby on the Franklin side of 27th, Mulligans just made some Best Fish Fry list put out by the Shepard (I think).
