Yes, well, Linklater's movie is still kicking around in my head. My initial post about it is here. So many great scenes and lines. It's an experience, like any other significant experience. That's the power of well-realized art. This sequence of dialogue has been rattling around inside me the last few days.
"You know how everyone's always saying seize the moment? I don't know, I'm kind of thinking it's the other way around, you know, like the moment seizes us."
Maybe sometimes we do the seizing, or maybe we are seized. Or maybe we just meet the moment halfway?
