Love is a gift. It's a gift of oneself given freely. It's not something one can ever ask for.

Love is not something we come to by reason. It’s more like a vapour, a dream perhaps, to lure us into the enchantment of our own stories. If not so, how are we to ever to know if it’s ever real? Is it a truth or simply a madness?

How can it be a mistake to love someone entirely?

I wish to acquire all knowledge that is useful, beautiful and true.

I suppose there is a lot of knowledge out there that is not useful, is not beautiful and is not true.

We exist only if we are real to others.

There are not many laws in the movie world, but Tilda Swinton has yet to make a bad movie. Her newest film, #ThreeThousandYearsOfLonging , is another beautiful one; a fairytale-like fantasy movie with Idris Elba. I also loved its music, which was by... Tom Holkenborg.

As a reviewer, I have ridiculed some of Tom's dance music in the past, but his recent movie OST's prove more and more that my judgement was the real joke. My hat's off to you, Tom.

RT shanselman: Holy CRAP #ThreeThousandYearsOfLonging is amazing. The cinematography? The whole vibe? Extraordinary. Worth the $

I saw a trailer once a long while back, but had no idea it was out.

Is the studio sabotaging it?

Despite solid reviews, #ThreeThousandYearsOfLonging cratered in its debut with $2.87 million. Given its $60 million production budget, MGM and United Artists Releasing’s film is shaping up to be one of the year’s biggest bombs. https://bit.ly/3B2QQf7
