The Visitor

I went to see The Visitor tonight. It is a beautiful, crisp and clean movie that doesn't pretend to be something it isn't. There are no grandiose statements being made here; the movie is about the moments of human connection between people from vastly different backgrounds. It is also about following that notion that tugs at your heart, that small feeling of interest in a brand new subject out of your area and the passion that can develop and grow from that. I want to live my life from that place, a place of discovery, a place that listens to the whispers within me, a place that is willing to try out something new no matter my fumbling or lack of expertise and the not knowing of where it will take me or where I shall end up.
