Present Joys

“We thank the Lord of heaven and earth
who hath preserved us from our birth
for present joys, for blessings past,
and for the hope of heaven at last.”

Fearless. I just watched this and hey, woah, it was fantastic. Jeff Bridges plays an unfeeling, truth-telling plane-crash survivor who doesn’t fully become himself until the end of the movie. The cinematography is superb throughout. The airplane crash scene itself reminded me of something from 2001: A Space Odyssey, but with actual meaning. Honestly, I don’t know why this film isn’t considered a classic. Hooray!
