I'm such a sucker. I'm a sucker for movies that make me cry. My current crying movie is "Up." I pop it in and BAM. I don't even know where the tears come from, but here I am - my heart is heavy for computer animated fictitious characters.
Why is that? Am I a glutton for emotionally manipulating myself? Well, that may be a little true, but really - I love the story.
It's cute. Inspiring. Creatively made. Carl Fredericksen thinks that his life is over after his wife dies. And for a short time, he does live something of a half life. Gets up, has his routine, goes to bed. Then, through a wonderful turn of events that only Disney and/or Pixar could create - we have our message. Life isn't over. You can't just stop living. Start a new adventure despite how scary and daunting it may be. "Adventure is out there..."
You may find yourself living a life you never imagined possible. It may not be the same kind of adventure, but it'll be an adventure, none the less. To complete the quote for the title: "to live will be an awfully big adventure."
If you don't believe me, you'll just have to watch it yourself. Let me know how much you love it because you will.
