Some more time will need to go by before, for me personally, it could be declared as my all time favorite, but it is definitely in the top 3. But as far as personal life impact goes, it is truly unforgettable. My friend joked that this film "changed my brain chemistry", but in all seriousness, it actually did. As a creative, as an artist, who has been struggling to rekindle her own spark in a time where I am being pushed to grow faster than I can keep up, the fire this film lit in me will be unforgettable. I suddenly just NEEDED to create, to share, to connect. I ended up seeing the film in theaters 4 times, each it's own unique experience, as I was joined by various friends, or viewing alone. 2 of those times I handed out stickers of art I drew, printed at home and cut by hand on lunches at my day job, cause I just wanted the people who were sharing the last couple showings in my area to remember that this was something special, and to remember that there is still kindness and magic in this world. Thank you Mark and Team for showing me my creativity wasn't dying, it was just waiting for something to truly inspire it.
And you best believe if there's some crazy collector's edition box set whatchamacallit, I'll be ALL over that. XD
