instinct is seriously one of the best movies i have ever seen in my entire life. anthony hopkins and cuba gooding jr are gold. i cried so hard that my eyes are red and swollen and i still have that feeling in my throat and chest that you get after prolonged crying...a tension, a strange mix of relief and calm and strong emotion...bizarre. and this huge big weight. and yet a lightness. "like everything was two parts broken heart and one part hope."-One Stick Song, Sherman Alexie. like i said, its so weird, and really hard to describe. in sum, just an absolutely phenomenal movie.
i cant get that image of hopkins making eye contact with the dying gorilla out of my mind. and when he started crying my heart just about shattered.
the gravity of life...almost makes me forget the beauty.
one things for sure: those little stupid petty things dont matter at all. they never do, but sometimes it takes a reminder like that to refocus, reprioritize. to re-realize how little the pettinesses matter. “Human dramas implode without trace.”-Marge Piercy
im not saying ive changed. i havent. nothing big. just touched me. made a mark. temporary in external impact, perpetual in internal. ill even forget its there. but its there.
“We don’t own the earth, not even the way
you buy a condo, Ken; we are part
of earth, not visitors using the facilities.”

“We die of the bottom line. We die
of stockholders’ dividends and a big bonus
for top executives and more perks. Cancer
is the white radioactive shadow of profit
falling across, withering the dumb flesh.”
