πŸŽ₯ Movie: Empire of Light (2022)

 A drama about the power of human connection during turbulent times, set in an English coastal town in the early 1980s.

Stars: Olivia Colman - Micheal Ward - Colin Firth

My favorite quotes:

Don't let them tell you what you can or can't do. No one's gonna give you the life you want. You have to go out and get it. 

Stephen: Amazin'.

Norman: It is amazing. Because it's just static frames, with darkness in between. But there's a little flaw in your optic nerve so that if I run the film at 24 frames per second you don't see the darkness.

Stephen: Wow.

Norman: It's called the Phi Phenomenon. Viewing static images rapidly in succession crates an illusion of motion. Illusion of life.


 Shame is not a healthy condition.

President 'Bobby': Life... is a state of mind.
