I need thoughts. Now. I have not been able to shake this movie after watching it yesterday. I need to know that someone else has heard of it, and knows how achingly gentle and sweet and heartwarming it is. I want to hug this and never let go. I can see this becoming a great favorite of mine simply because of its boundless kindness. I want to soak in it. I want to be David Byrne's, and I want him to be mine. I want to memorize Spalding Gray's hand gestures so that I can insert them into every conversation. I want John Goodman to sing "People Like Us" at my wedding. I want to go on a twin scavenger hunt through this movie. I want to know what Elvis knew about artificial intelligence.
But most of all, I want to share this with everyone, to let people see that gentle films about good, nice people being good to each other are not just viable, but necessary. Art is food for the soul, and sometimes we need films like this, or Paterson, or Our Little Sister, or My Neighbor Totoro, or The Straight Story. Stories with a respect and love for their characters, that heal the heart.
Heavens bless you, David Byrne. Whoever you are. Never listened to your band, but the music here ain't half bad. Maybe I'll watch that "Stop Making Sense" movie I've heard so much about. But I'll get there when I get there. For now, I just want to bask in this gem you left us.
