Stinson, 2015
I woke very early this morning thinking about a quiet unassuming film I saw on Saturday. The main character experiences a period of absolute sadness, but it is followed by a beautiful struggle fueled by hope. I think it was about listening to oneself, and determination. It was so different than anything I've seen lately. I'm glad to know such films are being made.
Something, Anything
What a beautiful, serene photograph. I love how the footsteps lead me in.
ReplyDeleteThe film has been noted for one of our evenings. Thanks for that x
It's a beautiful place, especially during sunrise and sunset. Enjoy the film.
DeleteI just watched the trailer, it looks like one I have to see. Probably one that I'll think about over and over. Thanks for always sending beautiful things our way. xo
ReplyDeleteI think your right about the over and over. It certainly has left me thinking.
DeleteDenise, I had to come back and tell you that I watched it tonight. I just finished it and keep thinking there's so many things I can take and keep from it. I wish I had been that determined and honest about certain things in my own life. I love when movies make me feel and think hard. Thank you . . . I'll probably watch it again tomorrow! :)
DeleteSo I'm not alone... I know it's a film I'll watch again. Thanks for returning here to share your thoughts.
Deleteexcited to watch. thanks for the recommendation!
ReplyDeleteNo problem, Shari. And welcome home.
Deletequiet and unassuming films—my favorite. thanks for letting me know about this one!
ReplyDeleteIda will probably be next. : )
DeleteOh, I'm intrigued. Thank you for sharing your recommendation, which I value highly.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kristen. What a nice thing to say.
DeleteReplace the word "film" with "book" and the title with "After the Sour Lemon Moon," and I think it would be an accurate description of your novel as well!
ReplyDeleteThere are parallels. I was definitely thinking of Sophia as I watched.
Deletejust watched the trailer. looks like an good movie, but I'm not sure I'm in the right head space right now to watch it. very intense. but thanks for the introduction.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. It is intense. Perhaps a time in the future...
DeleteBeautiful photo! I waited to comment on this post because I wanted to see this movie first... but alas I haven't had time and likely won't before I leave. so I'll be adding it to 'the list' to read this fall when I return. especially since one commenter thinks it's similar to your book -- can't think of a better recommendation...
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the list making, Rachel. You'll have a lot of great stuff to do when you return home this fall.
