A research on composer Philip Glass' recent credits brought me here as the title left me curious. A short documentary on two friends who share
their love and admiration for movies and how the art of cinema impacted their lives. It's all good, nothing wrong about that and for anyone who visits
this very special site we all have our takes on the importance films have in our lives and we share it in the best way we can; Nathan Kornick made a
short, which presents his brief opinions, just as his friend Chris Shields, and there's also some clips from their favorite films.
Different films and different life journey's yet the emotions brought on by this amazing media are all the same: to feel amazement, joy, sadness, to feel connected with others, to experience other realities or universes, to find truth, to feel horrified, or to better understand life, get new perspectives, feel inspired, or even get occupied for a couple of hours where the problems of life cannot hit you either in a dark room or at the comfort of home. And spreading the magic and those emotions with others is a higher accomplishment that makes it all better. I could go on and on with those words, not necessarily exactly what they say but it's close to the intention (I hope). I'd probably have to make an 2-hour video with all the great feelings and experiences I had with the seventh art and it wouldn't be enough. That's how deep such love goes.
I enjoyed it but I'm a little suspect to talk about since I love those kind of projects revolving film tributes, and I loved Nathan's response he gives when people asks why he won't do something else instead of just movies. I'd be a lot more dramatic with countless of reasons; he was quite polite and funny. But to both of them (and many others out there) I say this: Expand your canvas, study the masters and the classics and you'll get an even wider and most amazing worldview like very few have the chance, and those experiences cannot be taken away from you. While a comprehensive home media collection is shown plus some few clips, there's still too much Hollywood there and many fresh releases. Understandable for reasons. But there's time for growth and curiosity to develop. 8/10.
