Flow (the movie) [View all]
Ive seen this movie 3 x in recent weeks, twice in theater and once streaming online (max.com). The theater experience of course much more vivid - could see more detail in things like how the animals were communicating so much via eye contact.
The first time I just cried buckets, prob cos Im a cat person and know very well what the cat is saying with its vocalizations and body language. That poor cat! He went through so much. But mostly I think tears come cos it expresses SO WELL exactly what so many of us are feeling at this moment in history- that we are just being swept along by powerful currents so much bigger than we are. Some commentary focusses on whether its specifically about global warming - yeah perhaps that's part of it, but I think there's more to it than that., touching upon the cycles and mysteries of life itself. I think I keep rewatching it just cos I love the characters and one of the messages that comes through for me - that sometimes all we've got is each other and our collective efforts working together - seems especially meaningful at this time.
Anyway just curious if anyone else has some thoughts about this movie, what it's meant to you? HOpe it gets and Oscar or 2 this weekend!
