"It gave her freedom"

I think I've reached the heights of maudlin behavior when my throat starts to catch or my eyes start to sting a little while watching, not a movie, but a movie trailer.

But I think "Everlasting Moments" will be the exception.

Perhaps it's the theme of seeing that captured me, or how the gift of a camera can move a woman to tears, or how photographs are miniature pieces of art that people take for granted, or how people don't often pay attention to what they see or how they see things. Or perhaps it's because of the story. The story of a woman who finds, through the lens of a camera, a measure of independence and dignity that frees her mentally from the bleakness of her life.
