While we anxiously wait for the worldly catastrophe as told by the Mayans, we'll be wondering over which to spend our remaining time with. Cineastes would prefer it this way, going by the movies that showed how deeply profound human life has been; rediscovering life as it happens through these facets of reality. Well, with the time we have left there's no better way to recapitulate the existence we have led as stewards of this world and the amount of self-actualization we have contributed thus far. That we've made concepts by virtue of our human capacity and how it shaped our state of being.
These masterpieces remind us of the ups and downs of our dominance in this earth we live in through which, we come to see the substance of things that have been taking place all around us. These are but the titles of some I have greatly cherished to the countless other films that's ever been put to motion. Let's visit them again.
"There will be no rescue, no intervention for us. We can only save ourselves. Many of you know influential people abroad, you must call these people. You must tell them what will happen to us... say goodbye. But when you say goodbye, say it as if you are reaching through the phone and holding their hand. Let them know that if they let go of that hand, you will die. We must shame them into sending help."
Malena
"Time has passed, and I have loved many women. And as they've held me close... and asked if I will remember them I've said, "Yes, I will remember you." But the only one I've never forgotten is the one who never asked... Malena."
The Cure
"Suppose you kept going another 18 billion light years, what if there's nothing out there? Suppose you kept going another trillion times further, so far out you see nothing. The light from the universe would be fainter than the faintest star. Infinitely cold. Infinitely dark. Sometimes if I wake up and it's dark, I get really scared, like I'm out there and I'm never coming back."
"Here, *hands over shoe* hold on to this while you sleep. And when you wake up and you're scared say, "Wait a minute, I'm holding Eric's shoe. Why the hell would I be holding some smelly basketball shoe a trillion light years from the universe? I must be here on earth inside my sleeping bag. Eric must be close by."
Cinema Paradiso
"Out of the fire of love come ashes. Even the greatest love eventually fizzles out."
The Kite Runner
"There is only one sin, only one—and that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft. When you kill a man, you steal a life. You steal his wife's right to a husband, rob his children of a father. When you tell a lie, you steal someone's right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness."
The Piano
"The voice you hear is not my speaking voice but my mind's voice."
City of Angels
"I would rather have one breath of her hair, one kiss from her mouth, one touch of her hand, than eternity without it."
The Bucket List
"Find the joy in your life."
