Into the wild

We saw this movie at the dollar theater last night. I still don't really know what to say. It kinda sucks the wind right outta ya. Powerful-good-terrible all at the same time (not that it's a terrible movie - not at all) . My kinda movie. Eddie Vetter does the music. For the nuts and bolts, son Isaac has a review here.

Things that came to mind while watching it:

• These words were stuck in my head throughout the whole movie for some reason: "The painful innocence of beauty." I don't know what it means or why I kept thinking it, but... it was there.
• Also, a line the main character wrote: "Happiness is real only when shared." Hmm. Seems sometimes our dreams can imprison us no matter what they are. The importance of finding our way into God's story, maybe.
  
• And, of course you know I was teary-eyed through most of this movie (if you've seen it, and you know me, you know why), but part of it was because it was like going home to me. It just reminded me so much of home and the people I knew there. I also thought a lot about part of why I went to seminary was because I wanted to start a church for those people, and somehow here I am....
  

Powerful movie. Nothing more to say.
