In the darkest moments, the culture will shed a light at the end of the tunnel.
While the rest of the world is being a witness of the dark spectacle of the ascension of simplicity in the highest places of power in Washington, this movie will remember us that there is a vast wealth of culture in the United States that for decades has been shared with the rest of the world.
And yet, this is not just an American Movie. It’s a movie about people, a movie that will make you dance and will make you remember the day that you floated through the air. (If you got the chance to float in one moment in your life.[I did]).
I don’t think the movie is a by-product of The Donald as president, but I think the reception will be a direct reaction to the simplicity that reigns in the news cycle.
People need an escape.
And if it is raining in the USA … the simplicity already reigns in our country and we urgently need to have more culture around us, no one is writing our story. We also need our tropical escape valve.
And there is a tune that will be stuck in your head for a long time.
And you will learn what is the meaning of a song.
And you will learn what is the meaning of going to the movies.
Don’t waste this movie. Go by yourself or go with someone special.
