Many of us are living in anger right now. Anger at the “other side” who is trying to
take our world from us. Anger at
ourselves for not doing enough. Anger
at people who are stupid, just so stupid, because they can’t see what is
real. Many of us live with just a spark
of hope, or with despair because we don’t know what the future holds.
I’m here to tell you that movies can help.
Well, frankly, any complex text might be able to help us. There is truth in every section of the
library, in every art, and there is lie.
We need to seek it out, to find what is true for us. But I believe that movies, yes, even movies,
can guide us to hope in a world of anger and despair. They can give us a path forward.

Movies, for the most part, are stories. Sometimes stories with a moral, sometimes
just stories to entertain us. But within
all of these stories is a piece of our own humanity. And it is that humanity that gives us the way
forward. Over the next number of posts
today I will be presenting a set of movies that I believe give us a way forward
in an uncertain world.
