amazed
i just got the chance to see the film discussed here and if you ever get the chance, you should too.i am absolutely in shock. It was funny, powerful, moving, mature...and made by two 13 year-old boys from the Chicago suburbs. The film is "aimed at young audiences" meaning that its format is highly reminiscent of a Sesame Street segment, which, of course, just serves to make it more striking that what they're talking about is nuclear destruction.
Beyond making me whole-heartedly buy in to their message, this also makes me feel RIDICULOUSLY inferior. These boys are THIRTEEN for gods sakes, and they've already accomplished something that shows more talent and insight than i am likely to demonstrate over the course of my lifetime.
All i can say is...damn.
update from yesterday: Rowshan, my "second mother" is supposed to have a hysterectomy today. There are lots of good signs that the tumor isn't cancerous. Still, if you pray, put a word in for Rowshan Daneshy...she's one of the kindest women i've ever met, and i've been incredibly lucky to have had her in my life since really before i was born.
Thanks kids, oh and see the film!
love y'all
