I watched Finding Forrester again last night. It was on HBO, but I have the DVD. It's one of my favorite movies, and I showed it to my creative writing classes. There are a few movies I enjoy watching several times, and it's definitely one of them.
Right now I'm watching The Dark Knight on HBO and miss Heath Ledger so much. I'm not over his death and mourn the loss of such a talented actor who died way too young.
"Finding Forrester" is also one of our favorites, Joy! Oh, it's just wonderful, and we watch it maybe once a year. We were also blown away by Ledger's performance in "The Dark Knight." The two most recent Batman movies have been the best, in my opinion, because of the darker tone, and Ledger definitely contributed to that.
I agree about the two most recent Batman movies. Christian Bale is the best one, I think. Batman is supposed to be dark, and Ledger's Joker was scary and "an agent of chaos" which he should have been.
Finding Forrester is good on several levels, and the cast is excellent!
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I feel my fate in what I cannot fear. I learn by going where I cannot go.
We think by feeling. What is there to know? I hear my being dance from ear to ear. I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Of those so close beside me, which are you? God bless the Ground! I shall walk softly there, And learn by going where I have to go.
Light takes the Tree, but who can tell us how? The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair; I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Great Nature has another thing to do To you and me; so take the lively air, And, lovely, learn by going where to go.
This shaking keeps me steady. I should know. What falls away is always. And is near. I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I learn by going where I have to go.
