Movie Reviews of Smoke
Movie Review: Slow Down
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very thoughful movie. The highlight is the scene in which our friend the tobacconist shows the Pulitzer Prize winning author his collection of photos. The interaction is profound. The scene is all about "seeing through the eye rather than with the eye." Annie Dillard would approve. In an age of superficiality and frantic busyness we can learn that "we won't get it if we don't slow down." And it's not only slowing down the speed at which we move that is important, but giving ourselves the opportunity to live more contemplatively. We live incredibly frenetic lives which cause us to experience all sorts of problems. But we were created to live in the moment, not pump our bodies so full of adrenaline that we can't sleep. The whole movie is worth watching, but this one scene alone is worth the price of the entire film. Have a look.
