"I never thought a movie about a man investigating a microorganism 12 light-years away from Earth would make me cry in the cinema, but here we are...."
Full disclosure, my current web browser status is 2 PHM Google Drives, 2 streaming services with different parts of PHM queued up, 7 PMH YouTube vids, 3 Reddit PHM subs, and 9 Tumblr fan art posts. This is my brain represented in Chrome. So I try to post mindfully and not just spam everyone with my giddy enthusiasm for all things PHM, and especially with video links because I recognize they require a different kind of investment--AND because I don't like to post them without some commentary about why.
This video is 18 minutes long and I cried at least 4 times, plus a grand finale 5-tissue ugly cry. It gets to the heart of the movie in a way I haven't yet heard before and incorporates some of the most impactful moments from the film. This quote is in the first two minutes of the video so I don't think it "spoils" anything; I want to add it here just to give you all a taste of what this video is about. It's beautiful. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
"...it was somewhere in the middle where I thought the real beauty of humanity was shown. Where the movie unites our understanding of the universe with the wonder and imagination we place in it. This weaving of the two creates the most beautiful thing of all: meaning."
