"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
Couldn't decide to wait for that one. I drove with B.'s company non-stop for it early screening.
Needless to say, it was worth the mileage, worth passing time watching the last Tyler Perry movie before, worth staying up so late for the midnight screening and worth every dollar, every obsessive viewing of the trailer, every minute spent on the memoir and the road trip back straight afterwards.
I don't think I have seen anything as visceral as this account aside from Good Time.
What people won't do for "a little bit of anything" ey Margo.
I remember watching this when it came out and confusing Frances with one of my childhood friends' mothers. I also remember how I didn't see her as an actress in other movies. This lady disappeared to my sight. There were characters I saw, not an actor.
Only after discovering Tilda Swinton and resonating with her art, did I finally understand how brilliant Frances is. Burn After Reading is the first movie I watched where I fully realize who she is and what she is playing.
That was a great win. Yo go Frances. Now, Billboards are outside of many places and tragedies.
I'm at awe and enthralled by the divine grace and the quietude coming out of this masterpiece. May the prison of my mind be ornated by this art. And may art always prevail.
