  The White Ribbon 2009

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 19 Aug 2022

  The hopelessness. Whatever hope is yours, 
  Was my life also; I went hunting wild 
  After the wildest beauty in the world, 
  Which lies not calm in eyes, or braided hair, 
  But mocks the steady running of the hour, 
  And if it grieves, grieves richlier than here. 
  For by my glee might many men have laughed, 
  And of my weeping something had been left, 
  Which must die now. I mean the truth untold, 
  The pity of war, the pity war distilled. …

  The Trip 2010

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 03 Aug 2022

  We shall not cease from exploration
  And the end of all our exploring
  Will be to arrive where we started
  And know the place for the first time.

  Columbus 2017

  What are days for?
  Days are where we live.
  They come, they wake us
  Time and time over.
  They are to be happy in:
  Where can we live but days?

  Ah, solving that question
  Brings the priest and the doctor
  In their long coats
  Running over the fields.

  Minions: The Rise of Gru 2022

  ★ Watched 12 Jul 2022

  For many a time I have been half in love with easeful Death,
  Called him soft names in many a mused rhyme,
  To take into the air my quiet breath;
  Now more than ever it seems rich to die,
  To cease upon the midnight with no pain,
  While thou art pouring forth thy soul abroad in such an ecstasy!
