This was movie weekend in the Lunsford house. Fires in the fireplace, popcorn, and great flicks were on the menu. We watched a couple great movies and were taken in by the Oscar buzz.
::Oscar’s first…
As we were watching the awards ceremony, I told Katie how angry I was with myself for not doing more creative things with my life. I always dream of doing these things, but never do. Perhaps doing more with photography, writing a story, developing a short video, learning a new instrument…etc. I’m marking a line in the sand…here and now…I must give time for creativity, or I’ll bust. Katie was inspired to start looking at ways to help others. There were so many films highlighted last night that dealt with world needs and crisis. She was compelled to learn more about global needs and find a way to be a part of the solution.
::Now, for the films…
We first watched “Little Miss Sunshine.” What a great movie! Let my disclaimer be said…the language is foul. However, the acting and writing were memorable. Very inspiring, very challenging, one that will stick. Not to mention…I couldn’t stop laughing during the whole movie!
Later we watched “World Trade Center.” I think this has been out for a while, but we never had a chance to watch it. I cannot believe what these guys went through. I was surprised at how quickly I had forgotten about the feelings I had on 9/11 and the days that followed. I had forgotten how much Americans rallied together and how triupmphant the human spirit could be. If you need to be reminded how important it is to live everyday to the fullest, to love fiercely, to give of yourself generously…grab this movie.
What about you? What has inspired you lately? Have you seen these movies…what did you think? What have you seen lately?
