"Historically speaking,…time is lost; poetically speaking,…time is regained in the act of visionary creation" (Crewe 400).

These messages not only resonated with me, but helped shape me into how I am today. I will not go into much actual detail on the plot. This would ruin the movie for others. But I will go over the ideas

Underlying every courageous action is leaden fear. I once thought that being brave was synonymous with being invincible, but now I’m not so sure. I think being brave is being very aware of one’s own mortality and ability to fail, and then continuing anyway. To have

It was six days after my eleventh birthday, so naturally I was happy, but by the end of this day there are feelings I had that I never knew existed.

She said that a man had gone into a primary school in Dunblane and started shooting at innocent children. The thought
