10'000 miles or more... if you don't fall in love you have no heart...
I'm editing this post because I don't want anyone to ignore it, for their own sake. If I ever had to name the most inpirational piece of art in my life, that would be it. It is everything I always loved, amazing director along with best composer (Mark Isham... the flute, violin and guitar makes it sweet but yet it's the most touching thing and it's my favourite album, ever. Got it for 200$ on amazon and never regretted it, I still listen to it when I'm down.... I translates the act of fying, I can't listen to it without finding my own sense of wonder at nature back...I mean birds evolved FUCKING WINGS and crazy songs... and I love the mary carpenter song too.. ok that's too long for brackets...). So yeah, director, music, Anna Paquin acting=makes me fucking cry she's so real. I love how the stor touches difficult relationships between a kid and a parent who hasn't done everything right, and how things resolve. And the script, environmental consciousness, interacting with other species, theory of imprinting, teens psychology, conservation (the guy who first thought of using a glider to lead birds south had endangered cranes in mind, but started the experiment with geeses to not risk cranes deaths... hum...), ect...
Seriously, what do I talk about if I need to introduce myself? the earth, the dust on the soil, flying obsessed (from a stupid wave to backcountry sking on a powder day, I'l take anything), interspecies communication, animal behaviour,
Whatam I interested in doing with my life? do research, imprinting is something so big for evolutionary biol. Or make movies. what type? you all know, coming of age films to guide our kids in life... this movie I used to watch it every week-end for years, I know every single shot and line, and I need to admit it did shape me... who i've become. I don't want the next generation to have Hannah montana's reality in their brain as they grow up. I always wanted to write books and movies for teens, and I mean this is it. I know I'll never get it better, but it is so good to have in life something you can always look up to. That end scene, how do you not cry at how beautiful the planet is? These aerials landscapes, I don't have any word to say how emotional they get me.
I am not cheesy people. I am sharing the key piece in my life. I might have become someone else without it. my daydreaming, hopes and interests, they all somehow derived from it. I am so grateful I had something that good to be obsessed with at that crucial age.. I think people do get a good insight in who I am when they see this one, so I post it.
