Remarkably Bright Creatures

Last night Suze asked me if I enjoyed it?

We had just finished watching a new movie on Netflix and I technically lied.

Said that I didn't enjoy it. That it didn't affect me.

The reality was it did.

It was another movie which has a theme, direction, plot that is while not new, yet communicates powerfully to your insides. And in ways that I don't alway like to acknowledge.

Remarkably Bright Creatures is not a typical feel good story and yet the story telling via an octopus really help paint things the way they should be.

It is not light and tasty.

It is not action and drama.

It is to me similar to other movies that deal with deep heart issues, pain and the "human condition.

Think The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry meets Babe with sprinklings of Mr Hollands Opus and even a dash of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty sensibilities.

Movies that deal with real life issues, how we sometimes try to struggle through them alone, afraid and invariably with a sense of being stuck, these movies move me.

The powerful moments of hope expressed in them do something inside of me.

...and my stupid eyes always seem to leak...

I kind of recommend you watch it.

Don't watch it to be entertained, but more to be awaken in some way.

You might want to avoid it to avoid feeling things and then maybe dealing with things? And that kind of matches the story behind the story, and another reason to watch it.

Maybe it will help you understand someone else if not yourself?

My prayer for you if you are facing or have faced anything relatable to this great movie is simple.

I pray that you will find peace.

That you will find your people.

That you will find hope and a way forward.
