"I am cruising because I have dedicated myself to all that is creative and destructive in my life right now, and I am equally in love with every aspect of my life and all the ingredients that have caused me turmoil and all the ingredients that have caused me glory. I am the living whispered warning in the Roman general's ear: 'Glory is fleeting', and in that verb, that active verb, 'fleeting', there I live, there I reside in this moment. I have dedicated myself to the idiom, 'I don't know', and am in love with the frantic chaos of this limitless universe."


If you live in New York City, if you want to live in New York City, or if you don't want to live in New York City, I think you should see this film.

Surely this is not the best film I have ever seen, but it is one of the most elegant and simply enjoyable films I have seen in a while; I think you should see this film.



It is also worth noting that if there is to be or has already been a definitive tribute to the World Trade Center, to the buildings themselves, there are parts of this film which should absolutely be included. But I have already said enough; I think you should see this film.


Incidentally, this is apparently the only movie that Bennett Miller directed before he directed Capote. I have not seen Capote, but I would still make a significant wager that, at least in some significant way, this is a better film. I don't really know, but perhaps you should just see this film.





A special thanks to Mary Wegmann, who may never read this.
