My favorite bit in Sonny's Blues by James Baldwin. Love the character
SONNY for me is a voice that teaches" To listen" to pause and listen and as Sonny is transformed so does his brother. He understands finally what Sonny has been trying to teach him;what the blues are about
Every experience good or bad, happy or sad is as important.
"The dead tree is as important as the living one...and the world needs a hermit in the woods as much as a preacher on the pulpit" From the Film; Train dreams.

It's through suffering that one can make sense of things and in Witnail's eyes, there are no accidents in this part of the country and lads are gladly throwing themselves into the road to escape all this hideousness ๐ฟ.( Witnail and I)
" I'm a trained actor reduced to the states of a bum๐ฟ"
From the film; Witnail and I.
Two graduate actors must find way through life.
A film full of wit, the performance is ridiculously good - only download subtitles to go along .
Blessed is one whose path( upon setting out into the unknown) is filled with assurances, someone nodding along the way. For most it's gauging whether the light at the end of the tunnel might as well be some train storming in, and one risks getting crushed.(Frankenstein)
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is among my favourite books read and reread. When it comes out in film,one cannot help being intrigued. Many watches have been garbage and the consolation; rereading the text.Frankenstein 2025,not as good as the text but it is something like the truth
