I am watching Powder. An amazing movie. It didnt get very good reviews when it first came out. Not sure why, cause any movie with Sean Patrick Flanery and Jeff Goldblum is pure genious. Besides the fact that Jeremy has an outrageously high IQ, he has reached a level of humanity that is unbelievable. He hears peoples thoughts, and memories, and fears. He sees the fear and pure evil that exists among our society. There are only about three people who see him as a person. Everyone else seems to see him as a freak.
I'm not quite sure why I love this movie. The music is phenomenal. Jerry Goldsmith is phenomenal. His music is great. And i think if you just listened to the music, you could feel half of the emotions that happen. The music alone moves me to tears. But I think a lot of that is the pure and raw emotion that flows through my veins.
If any of you know me very well, you may know that I have struggled with the existence of a greater humankind. The idea that any human can make you feel the hatred among us is remarkable to me. I don't know. I will leave this rant with a final thought... or quote... from Jeff Goldblum.
Donald Ripley: It has become appallingly clear that our technology has surpassed our humanity.
Powder: Albert Einstein.
Donald Ripley: When I look at you, I have hope that maybe one day our humanity will surpass our technology.

Powder is an AMAZING movie :) I still get emotional watching it, it's as if I am watching it for the first time. Sean Patrick Flanery did a phenomenal job in the role of Jeremy "Powder" Reed! Kudos for Jeff Goldblum and Mary Steenburgen also.
I never knew that Powder didn't get good reviews when it came out. It's such a good movie!
