What makes a movie? It's a series of still frames (images) woven together by time at a credible fixed speed. The content you control from start to finish. If you don't like a particular movie you have the choice to select a different one that has subject matters that you care about. You have a choice. 

Lately, I've not enjoyed the political movies being played in this country. They make me anxious and fearful. We've seen them played before in our history and in Europe; the endings have not been good. I cannot control their historical outcomes. Those movies have already been made.

I am one lone person. I didn't choose the cast of the movie being played, but I know it doesn't end well. People I trusted have let me down. People who profess to be Christian should know better. I feel very confused, angry, distraught. Betrayal does that you know. In the interim, I look at the beauty which surrounds me and I am grateful that I am able to see it. Life goes on and I focus my camera lens on the beautiful things I still see and find. It requires effort and focus on my part.

Times are turbulent and chaotic. There's a real lack of empathy and compassion. We are self absorbed and greedy. The movie is not over. The script may very well change. The characters will have to do their part. One thing I know is that most viewers share common hopes and dreams. We should focus on creating a new movie with that theme: the renewal of dreams and hope. We should call it the American Dream. Let's make a new movie together.
