Fairy Tale

I never realized how a fairy tale could be such a powerful genre for presenting thought provoking messages. I have always just discounted fairy tales as purely entertainment and never took a deeper look at the stories. The quote Professor Leeper read in class today i thought was a crucial point to remember; the statement about how in fairy tales they make the rivers flow with whine so that we remember for a second that they flow with water. That is so true! I take for granted so many awesome things around me just because i have been inured overtime to not be impressed by them. Also, with modern technology the simple and often amazing things in life get completely overlooked.

In my future cinematic endeavors i would love to somehow bring out the beauty in the simple. Whether i do this by means of an epic fairy tale or just by presenting a simple concrete yet enticing story; such as the film Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. I loved that film because the whole movie the boy was searching for some kind of resolution to in some way justify his father's death; yet at the end the conclusion is reached that there is no answer to be found. You get wrapped up in the hope to find some exciting answer at the end, then you are sucked back into reality and you realize that some things in life cannot be resolved nicely.
