What was it when you said you feel like it made you understand the things that you couldn't quite?
What was it?
Sorry.
I think it's one of the greatest war films ever made.
Oh, that's really beautiful.
I think it was Wong Kar-wai's Happy Together.
Yeah, and of course, Terrence Malick's Tree of Life and The New World.
But Happy Together, it was when I was younger.
And will you describe your experience?
I mean, that is the reason why we have art and storytelling.
It's not trying to teach us something that we don't know.
It's trying to help us remember something
who we are, to bring us back to the source.
So for me, that film made me realize that this deeply uncomfortable tension I feel in my body, this yearning that sometimes feels like it's just going to consume me, it is actually this loneliness, this isolation that film captured.
On the other side of it is actually my deep, deep yearning for connection and for relatedness and for love and that there's nothing wrong with it.
And that film is full of mystery.
So it's a thin red line.
And that's why when we're going through our greatest heartbreak and most difficult time, we don't look for facts.
We look for poetry because it allows us to stay in the mystery.
Because he was already dying.
