addendum
if i had seen The Last Samurai before i wrote the entry yesterday about best movie of the year... it'd look different.
wow, people.
the full impact of that movie hasn't registered yet, and i don't think it will for days. there's just some stuff in life that we forget about, that we're so eager to kill off. the old school. i for one have always been a proponent of technological advancement at any cost. and you never stop to think about the cost of progress.
but more than that... tom cruise was brilliant as a man haunted by what he's done, someone tormented every waking hour by his past. the self loathing and bitterness and disgust was something i think i've tasted but clearly not to the depths i'd once thought i had. the journey he makes in the length of the movie made my heart sit up and sigh. to quote mr. graham at the end - 'captain algren possessed a peace that many seek and few find.'
oh yeah, also. car of the year: Infiniti FX35. saw another one on the road today, it's SO beautiful :)
