movies...

there are so many things i'm thinking about, so many things i want to post, but for one reason or another, they are not yet posted. some of them just arn't in my heart right now, some of them confuse me still, and some of them are personal on a level that makes me afraid, even when i am secure in the knowledge that more than 5 people are unlikely to ever read any of these thoughts.
fortunately, i'm bored to death, so i'm sure i'll have time to sort some things out and post them before christmas. in the meantime, i'm trying to watch as many movies as possible (because you've gotta have goals). but because i like things to have meaning, and because often the things in movies mean more to me than the things in real life (sad, i know, but true none the less), i will recommend a few that i have watched lately, hoping that they will mean something to others as well.

city of angels - because sometimes love requires giving up everything, knowing that you won't get it back.
the fisher king - because sometimes the strength to face reality comes through our daily escapes from it.
matchstick men - because sometimes you have to lose everything before you realize that you can't ever really lose everything.
edward scissorhands - because fear of something you once loved does not negate it's beauty.
what dreams may come - because sometimes, when you lose, you win.
dangerous minds - because the condition of your mind and soul are more important than the conditions of your reality.
eternal sunshine of the spotless mind - because the things that mean the most can never truly be forgotten, and because sometimes, even pain can be beautiful if we let it.
good will hunting - becacuse what you know and what you do with what you know is the difference between just being alive and living.
rudy - because compassion gives us all things that by human standards we do not deserve, if we have the heart to see beyond our lack of qualifications and ask for it regardless.
who framed roger rabit - because i'm not bad, i'm just drawn that way.

that's all for now... more to come, i hope... one of these days, i'll get to the Law of Grace, it's hanging over my head like a piano, and i'm down here struggling to learn how to play so that if it crashes on my head, i can still make something beautiful out of it...
