Ned Benson's Poetic Portrayal of The Flows of the Hearts in "The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Them" (2014)


Soft, poetic, subtle, beautiful, Jessica Chastan's electrifying screen presence. Echoes of "Broken Circle Breakdown" peppered with the relationship journeys in "Blue Valentine", envelopped by the beauty of....[TO THINK OF REFERENCE]. Want to see "HIS" and "HERS". Want to see the pain and joy from each of the different sides of the story. "Eleanor Rigby" Ah, look at all the lonely people Ah, look at all the lonely people Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been Lives in a dream Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door Who is it for? All the lonely people Where do they all come from? All the lonely people Where do they all belong? Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear No one comes near Look at him working, darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there What does he care? All the lonely people Where do they all come from? All the lonely people Where do they all belong? Ah, look at all the lonely people Ah, look at all the lonely people Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name Nobody came Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave No one was saved All the lonely people (Ah, look at all the lonely people) Where do they all come from? All the lonely people (Ah, look at all the lonely people) Where do they all belong?

Schlessinger's Account of a 14-year Old's Around the World Solitary and Exhilirating Sailing Journey in "Maidentrip" (2013)


To sail. The world. Alone. For two years. Imagine the way your lungs breathe after that? Imagine the way your soul sees after that? Imagine the way your wings start to fly with each different colored wave, still or turbulent, that surrounds you after that? Imagine sailing alone at 14 years old. Laura Dekker epitomizes bravery and tasting life at its fullest. The stoicism, the lightness, the courage, the relentless pursuit of dreams portrayed by the her real life journey is a magnetic watch.
