"The Village"
I just finished watching the movie "The Village" on DVD with Natalie. It's an amazing tale! I don't want to completely give it away, but the story-line is unbelievable. It reveals a lot about the power of human emotion, and how it's inseparable from pleasure and pain. The basis of the story is that of members of an isolated village who are afraid to venture into nearby woods because of the "evil" that lurks there and in neighboring towns. But the evil forces they seek to exclude are present in every member of their own village. Analogies can be drawn to our own nations, cultures, etc. After watching the movie, I felt stronger and less fearful of differences or adversity. I'll highly recommend the movie to anyone!
