INFLUENCES II | My Site 1

Music

The selections of music are all from different genres and artists. Music is a massive part of my life and very few songs truly elicit feelings or sensations I associate with spirituality or something more.

Films

The selected films have impacted my life in a myriad of ways. Something within these films stretching from the plot, the themes present in the film, the characters, quotes, and/ or the philosophy presented in these films have moved me greatly, so much so they they've impacted my thinking at one point or another.

Bones And All

Favorite Quotes:
“Time goes faster the older you get. Makes sense, I guess. A day becomes a smaller and smaller fraction of your life.”

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."
"The great of art of life is sensation. To feel that you exist, even in pain. I mean would you not die for love? After all, what is life if it does not have love?"
- "Nothing according to you poets."
"There is always another way. And when we make such choices, there are inevitably consequences." - "Always see"

"Agnostic on good days, atheist on most"
