  • Why is it always the "other" times, the "old" times that we look on with such fondness?

    I think nostalgia lends itself to a certain degree of sentimentality, and with that comes that warm, sometimes sweet, other times bittersweet emotion of memory, that you feel deep down in your stomach upon reminiscence.

    But this film reminded me we need to learn to better cherish THIS moment, and don't leave it to a film to remind us of what we value the most. Love the memories as they happen.

  • Very interesting.
