It comes as no surprise that the world is far angrier place than it has been for decades. However, it is not necessarily all down to the governments of the world refusing to put their houses in order and sue for peace at all costs; we, as individuals, must also bear the brunt of responsibility, for our actions have become dominated by the outraged and the uncompromising activists seeking to further their personal agenda, it is the damnation of the wrathful with no cause to justify happiness for others and the bully and the impatient who inspires rage in others that should seek forgiveness for making the world a less than tolerant and easy place to live.

The nature of free will has been mulled over in cinema far more times than we arguably need have seen, so much so that the idea of Schrodinger’s Cat has moved on from paradox to the investigation into the psyche of the participant involved, the analysis of their answer attempting to reveal more than they might care to admit.

There are so many ways in which you can believe you are creating magic on screen, and there are many ways in which that magic can turn sour if the act of hubris is not dealt with, not swallowed to the point where humility can be seen to tread the same boards as the pride you wish to feel; the sense of modesty you wish to convey in your vision.

The worst of nightmares to affect any parent is the loss of their child. That sense of despair is heightened when they don’t know how the baby died, that they might not have been able to say goodbye before putting them in the ground and dealing with their grief, separately or together.

There are many aspects of university life, especially in the United States of America that leave a bad taste in the mouth, and whilst the truth of further education is a must, that people must have the opportunity to expand their mind and knowledge, the sense of history, tradition and ritual is one that can be cold, fearsome and leave the onlooker questioning the belief of power that arises from such institutions.

Your local popular bus has arguably less chance of being as regular as the constant delivery of one of the most adapted books of the 19^th century being yet again remade for cinema or television; the difference being is that the bus might take you where you need to get to, but Little Women under any guise will no doubt charm and leave you nursing a love and a craving to immerse yourself once again into Louisa May Alcott’s novel once more.
