Hold on tight.

I suppose I could call this last Wednesday's frozen deluge from the heavens an emotional conundrum. In the moment when the snow falls gently to the cover the grass I'm relived to see that the Earth's current covering will be born anew with a fresh blanket of snow that resembles a fluffy white down comforter that is covering everything that is laid out before our eyes. A clean white sheet to mark a fresh start-An unadulterated canvas in which we can paint our new day, if you will. A beautiful sight created for one and all from the only planet that rounds our beaming solar body that holds liquid water in it's atmosphere.

In the negative, This Humid Continental environment should be hurried along to defrost and allow it's inhabitants to venture forth from their above ground caves made of; wood, stone and glass to reacquaint themselves with the radiating warmth of our daytime solar body sending it's lovingly warm particles to the scuttling humans that dot the world's northern hemisphere. In this envelopment of light, one must feel-to their inner core- the embraces of the enveloping light of our Sun and forget-even if momentarily-the listless floating of the long nighttime hours that make us feel alone and separated in the extended dark night that winter brings.

With the clearing toil of walkways and driveway aprons shoveled clear for the evening's rest bit, our nuclear family finds some solace in the vision of tonight's escape. We find the activation of the Sony Blu-Ray disk player is interpreting the hard copied information of transcribed light to our minds electrical gathering amplifiers with this particular vision:

On distant British isles, we find a select group of young people who have been raised to become the saviors for the rest of man kind. Raised to a naive state and equipped with a rudimentary plan of what their lives will entail, they must venture forth and find their way and struggle with terms of endearment of afflictions of desire that will be set in front of them. How they must find the way to cope with every decision that they make and in some fashion of their own design, they must make the their world tolerable.

A well told yet saddening movie event with magnificent weight and range of emotional depth transcribe by the director and cast is the example that is presented to us here. Told from a one particular view our heroine shows us how life can be; challengingly difficult, vibrantly elating, and forever hopeful. How a life without meaning can quickly become something to the counterpoint. Asking stout moral questions of what lengths human beings will subject other human beings to is always at the forefront of this film. How life, love, and the pursuit of happiness may be out of our hands and the acceptance of that may be all that is left to find hope in. In that summation, this cautionary tale will leave the audience asking if the decisions that we make everyday will cause undo harm to others-Even if the Chaos Theory is relevant.

For morally involved fans of cine-plays like; The Island, Children of Men, and Gattaca, this should be a "must see" for you.

For an unabashed alternate view into what we may be-Or what we may become-this indie film ranks an 9 out of 10 "donations" in my book. Aside from; District 9, Saving Private Ryan, and Life is Beautiful, I've yet to see another "benchmark work" such as this in a good long while.
