Whatever you’re meant to do, do it now. The conditions are always impossible.
~Doris Lessing~

I’ve been waiting years to watch The Wolfpack – ever since I first heard about it.  I’ve watched and read everything about the making of this documentary.

The story of these six brothers has everything I love in a story…isolation, survival, fundamental and significant conflict, true love, a really wrong act, smart people trapped by the good intentions of people with problems, innocence and guilt juxtaposed, and, art as escape.

In the case of these brothers, the escape art is movies.  Watching movies. Making movies. Learning movies.

And not just watching loving movies, but needing movies to make life worthwhile.

I highly recommend this movie.

And I want to adopt all six boys.

And their mom (and sister).

~Lewis Carroll~ 

Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad,
and miss her when she’s not there.
