Terrence Malik's To The Wonder


I like it because it reminded me that life is a series of singular moments,
each one of them significant if we choose to give them significance. And of
course insignificant if we choose to regard them as such. It wasn't the finest
film I've seen by any means, not even one of Mali's best, but I enjoyed it
because he never ceases to make me think and feel in ways that most films
don't. There's not much of a narrative, just enough to satisfy that need for
linearity, but it doesn't want to be there really and maybe it shouldn't be,
maybe that's what holds it back fro being much better, but in either case I
enjoyed it in the same way I "enjoy" Buddhism, because it reminds me that I am
living, that each moment is there to an then gone. there and then gone, it's
up to use to exist in them, to notice them.
