  • Better Man

    Better Man

    This is cinema. Truly and wholly. Theatrics and tragedy. An indescribable feeling. Lightning in a bottle. Pure magic.
    Magic is real, and it's cinema.
    Better Man is cinema.

    A tale about the act, and power of forgiveness. Forgiveness that is not only blessed upon others, but on oneself too.
    The making of this film must've been the longest and greatest therapy session ever. Through the making of it, Robbie in a way is able to forgive those that have wronged…

    In the same spirit of 'Oh My Darling, Clementine', here's another folk classic that embodies an essence similar to the film:

    "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
    You make me happy, when skies are grey
    You'll never know dear, how much I love you
    Please don't take my sunshine away."

    I love you.
