I’ve seen it before. I mean, it did come
out in 2007, but I have to express my love for the movie Eagle vs Shark.
Directed by Taika Waititi and starring Jermaine Clement (of Flight of the
Conchords fame) and Loren Horsley, Eagle vs Shark captures something about
relationships that we stop noticing as we become adults. I’m talking about when
there was plenty of time to just hang out with each other, when we accepted
idiosyncrasies readily and when we were unafraid to express our likes, dislikes
and needs in plain and simple words.
Do you remember being a kid and having a
friend come over for a visit? Do you remember showing off your prized
possessions as a way of sharing yourself, proudly describing the origins,
meaning or purpose of treasured objects? Well, when Jarrod shows Lily his
unusual handmade candles and states, ‘I guess I’ve gotta keep creating or I’ll
just die’, Lily is genuinely impressed. And so am I. You said it, Jarrod. You
said it.
Wow! I loved that quirky movie! I didn't think many people would have seen it. Your drawing reminded me of the stop motion apples in the film. I won't spoil it for others who haven't seen Eagle vs Shark. Your words have captured the essence of the film for me.
ReplyDeleteYes, I was wondering if anyone would pick up on the apples reference! Thanks for your comment, it's very nice to have a like minded type drop by!
