I have a canker sore on my left tonsil. Every time I move anything, eat anything, or swallow it feels like someone is stabbing my throat. Based on past experiences I’m assuming I got it because of stress. It’s finals week, I’m applying for internships, I’m in the midst of pre-production for a short film I’m shooting in a few weeks, and I’m trying to find time to watch all of Scorsese’s films. My mind is a tornado right now and my body is in pain, but for 2 hours and 6 minutes Scorsese guided me through a story full of childlike wonder that I haven’t felt since I was, well, a child. Everything disappeared and cinema took over in a genuinely beautiful and moving way. Now back to finding some ointment for this canker sore.

one of the only movies about “the magic of the movies” that actually captures just how miraculous cinema can be. a way for us to connect together, even just for a few hours, to see worlds and images that were considered impossible. it moves me beyond words to know that one of cinema’s greatest treasurers made a film for kids about how beautiful the artwork is, creating the same effect for an entire generation that he received from old prints in a library. we come to movies on our own paths through life but what matters is that we’re all here now, together, united by celluloid.
