The Adventures of Mark Twain

Favorite Quotes:
"Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody, if he can help it."
"It's just like piloting a river. You get to know the shape of it. Like following a hall at home in the dark. And even if you feel some fear, you know no harm can come to you because you've traveled that hallway a hundred times in nothing but bare feet and faith."

Everything Everywhere All at Once

The link leads to my favorite scene in the entire film. The scene is sheer chaos, yet it all makes sense. Evelyn is the focus of most of the shots, especially with how she's framed in each shot. No matter what multiverse Evelyn is in, no matter how she looks, what identity she takes on, there is something in her essence that resides in each version, even if she isn't "Evelyn".

The prince of Egypt

Favorite Quotes:
"I am that I am"

Mary Shelley

Favorite Quotes:
"If God is everywhere, then why must man erect temples to Him? Because it is your imagination that is the instruments of moral good, not these four walls."

- "Nothing according to you poets."
"There is always another way. And when we make such choices, there are inevitably consequences." - "Always see"
