Lights out Alice!
Movie that I really connected with because I was going through: Elemental
"Embrace the light while it burns, because it won't last forever"
Why did this movie move me so much when it is essentially just another feel good romantic animation with a happy ending? Pretty much the run of the mill plot, but the execution is what made it stand out. The way different elements (I know, bad pun) had their environment moulded according to their needs, wherein it all made sense and even though on first take it would be confusing, on further analysis, made me go ah-ha.
Also there is a personal context that should account for an additional 30% increase in likeness.
- Recently heartbroken (see for ref: M.S. edition).
- Circumstances were pretty similar to the movie plot, except that we did not have a happy ending. We were two people who were worlds apart in their upbringing, but two souls who connected when they met.
- Currently reading Creativity Inc., by Ed Catmull, who was the founder of Pixar and this book is pretty much exactly my type of reading; personal anecdotes with hindsight analysis on what can be attributed to good, bad, wrong, right and the downright lucky.
