days after watching it. It has to be the most intense, courageous, and honest film I have ever seen. Humans are complicated creatures and most of us do not know who we are and why, but he went there. I have seen the same confusion in men who experienced what he did with the famous writer. So sad they have to suffer like that.

Humans are expected to be linear beings, and our own story lines are built on that. The truth is, we are not.
