I have reread your words in this piece several times. It keeps getting better. The trailer at the end sent a chill through my spine. I'm afraid to watch it again. I think I am going to need the power in your prose.

Thank you <3 And that film is beyond words. It's stunning. He also produced (I think as an executive producer, I don't remember the logistical details) another film since then, also beautiful beyond words. The latest film is "The Book of Vision."

I'd negotiate with ghosts.

It would start off like: "Hi, what can I do to be of assistance and reduce your suffering?"

I never seem to get the chance.

Anyway, I mean well.

I'm sorry your Sensual highness but this is just another case of 1970's 'nuts'.

I Thank God that I don't have to listen to crazy women anymore. Unsubed.

Translation: "Ouch. A woman of fiery passion talking openly about the powerful body/mind health benefits of sex. Please stick to the "fighting robots" stuff & refrain from speaking this way 'cuz, well.....I ain't been getting any."

Ah, Terrence Malick. You should watch his Thin Red Line or The New World. Hidden Life felt like someone imitating Malick, compared to those gems.

Thank you! I will look for them! Have you seen The Book of Vision? (He didn't direct it but I think he was an executive producer or something along these line). It came out la few months ago.
