I went to Faith and Film tonight. For those of you who aren't familiar with the term, it's just a bunch of people who watch a movie and talk about it afterwards. It was my first time and it was definitely well worth a friday night. We watched The Fall. Really an interesting story with amazing graphics. Everything a movie should be, if you ask me. Music was great too. To be honest I'm not sure where I'm going with this. I was really affected by both the movie and the discussion afterwards, but I'm not sure how to describe what it was for me. I really loved it. I guess that's the easiest way to put it. It was a combination of doing something I already love, with people I love, and having a great discussion afterwards. Usually discussions feel like homework for me. Or a class where I'm scared to voice my opinion. But it wasn't like that tonight. I had thoughts that I wanted to get out there, to see what other's thought about it.
Fellowship.
That's what it was. Ha, seriously, that word just came to me now. I don't know why I didn't think of it before. Fellowship. It's a truly a magnificent gift from God. Beauty in it's purest form.
That's something to be thankful for.
The Fall directed by Tarsem Singh? Great flick. I read that they only used computers for a small amount of the graphics and the rest they got in camera. Really ambitious.
