(no subject)
this post will probably sound like a tornado of 'hmm' to most people,
so i'm currently in this strange sea of elizabeth, the virgin queen (masterpiece theater). my parents and my sister and i watched the first part last sunday and the second half was tonight. my head is currently consumed with the theme song from it which was amazingly perfect and one of those theme songs that seem like it was composed by eery celtic fairies. hopefully that did not make sense to anyone. or hopefully it did.
anyhow, the movie was terrific in a sense that the history of england and the history of english royalty and especially queen elizabeth for some reason grabs my attention and does not seem to let go. it could be unhealthy.
one strange realization that came to me after we watched cinderella man two days ago was how much i desire to be a part of an amazing film, one that tells the story of an actual inspring person. movies like ray, cinderella man, the virgin queen, a beautiful mind, war movies, (ok, titanic when it first came out, i'll admit i was infatuated) etc . simply strike me. so anyhow, i had this absurdly strong "i want to make a film, or, well, basically volunteer to serve coffee to the lowest ranking camera guy even... just to be a part of one, holy moly" notion that night. and now.
but, alas, i'm an english major. but that's besides the point. i want to create a message through some artform or media that could act as a tool for changing the world. i know that sounds mildly insane, but now that i look at it typed out, i suppose it has been my 'thesis' in life ever since i was really little.
it has been a good christmas. and i hope for you as well,
