Brother (2022)
Profoundly moving
Sometimes the qualities that make something really beautiful are the hardest to put into words, and to me "Brother" falls into this category. The character Francis profoundly loves those closest to him, and his love for his boyfriend cruelly leads him to events ultimately resulting in his tragic death. Francis' mother and his brother Michael are devastated, and it is the depth of Francis' love for his brother and his unshakable belief in him that give Michael the courage to rise up as the man he must be to rescue his mother and himself from life-destroying despair. To me, this realization came into focus at the movie's end as the brothers are finally sitting down together at the top of the electic tower they climbed together, with Francis glancing at his brother as if to say "I love and value you so much that I couldn't stand to lose you, but I KNEW that you could do it".
A Trip to Infinity (2022)
Absolutely fascinating
I watched this program a few weeks ago and have found myself thinking about it ever since. Quite simply the most mind blowing program I've ever been privileged to see. You don't need a science background, just a keen interest, willingness to listen and think, and an imagination. As the narrating geniuses try to wrap their own heads around the concept of infinity and its implications, the program perhaps unintentionally elevates science into the realm of spirituality, and casts glimmers into the nature of eternal life, ironically the relevance of each one of us to the greater picture, and indeed the workings of God - perhaps more accurately described as the Great Life Force. The universe is "alive" and how amazing it is to be part of it.
