When you’re alone you have basically two options for finding connection…books and movies. I’ve been reading a little lately but watching movies like mad. I’ve also just been thinking about film in general….films I’ve seen, films that made an impact on me, films with moments of clarity that ring so true. It’s like therapy for me. It’s like group therapy, me and my favorite characters talking about our pain. This clip is from a film called Swingers. No, it’s not about the swinging lifestyle, but about a couple of guys who wear sharkskin jackets, go to casinos and call themselves, “Money, baby.” It’s not one of my favorite films overall, but this little piece of writing, this little scene, is one that hits me in the gut.
Just me…Marissa
