Everything is Illuminated...

with the past.
What's the best way to spend a snowday? Watching movies of course!
Everything is Illuminated was marvelous! I absolutely loved the cinematography, acting, and even more so the story! We are brought together because our pasts exist and linger. The people we encounter become part of our lives, they are right there along side us.

There was a nice mix of flashback, dreams, and reality to make it a puzzle to put together, not too hard but vague enough to keep you engaged. I also loved how they paralled the old-school vs. new school lifestyles developing in the Ukraine, how the next generations don't know what Ukraine was like before the war. But with these revelations about the past the present is illuminated! An enlightened perspective on your life and how it affects everything and how everything affects it.

Just some thoughts to chew on.
