Big Fish
I just saw Big Fish. I could write about how the movie made me think of Ulysses and Stephen Dedalus' theory about the author constantly recreating himself in his writing, or how it in some way mirrored the consubstantiality of the father and the son (also from Joyce, not Christianity). Instead, let me say that for a moment I was moved. More moved than I have been in quite a while.
This movie has made me happy and reminded me of several important things (Kinali and other things). My recent fascination with Zen gardens today reminded me of the Lake Isle of Innisfree by Yeats and Specter in the movie made me think of that. Though it is time to study for CS 240 I am thoroughly happy and inspired.
