belief in virtue is more important than virtue itself

what if we choose to exist in a reality of our own making?

i always have the movies

I was in Washington the year I saw Braveheart in theaters. It was 1994 and I was attending my first filmmaking seminar. That entire experience in Washington was such a great lesson in #storytelling and the power of #filmmaking . Here in my hospital room watching Braveheart on AMC, I'm reminded of that power once more with each tech and nurse that comes in to tell me how much they love that movie and we all talk about our favorite scenes. A few folks even stayed a bit to watch. Movies are hypnotic, magical, captivating and I can't wait to get back to making them

Burglar came out in the 80's with little fanfare. It became one of the few Whoopi Goldberg movies that didnt catch on. Not the way Jumping Jack Flash did. But what appealed to me was the muder mystery storyline. A burglar who uses her skills to clear her name of a murder she didnt commit. The final dolly in where she figures out the final clue to the mystery is one of my fav reveals. I love the dolly in when its used in a correct way. The camera pushes into her face and you see she has figured out who the killer is. #filmmaking #movies

It's becoming more obvious to me that my time here at the hospital is about more than just medicine. Today I was watching Road To Perdition. Yet another nurse came in to talk about how great this movie is. And it truly is. Great performances by Tom Hanks and Paul Newman, the amazing work by the late great cinematographer Conrad L. Hall especially in that final amazing gunfight. It's not just the amazing visuals in that scene but the great use or non use of sound fx that really nail the scene. Tonight was another example of the power of movies and how they affect and inspire everyone from patients to nurses and everyone in between. This film school never ends.
