"Clap your hands if you believe"

To be able to look out your window and see an endless ocean,
Or perhaps a bright garden with elves and fairies; and pirates and "indians",
To be able wriggle your shoulders a little bit and fly up into the air and out your window towards the moon and the stars, instead of being tucked into bed...
To be able to dream dogs into bears, boredom into a magical adventure...
Finding Neverland...
Can you find it? Knowing that it doesn't exist? Can you make your mind believe, for a single instant, that magic exists beyond what you see, hear and feel in this world. To be able to imagine, through the heart and eyes of a child... To be able to see what only the innocent faith can make you see. Perhaps...
Another fantastic adventure.... The movie was brilliant. absolutely brilliant.

Le Fantome de l'Opera

"It is not your face I fear, it is your soul that is distorted....", Christine says something to this effect to her mentor, The Phantom of the Opera. A soul distorted because of a cruel past. It is not easy to grow up in this world, without a face. I wonder why? Are we so inclined towards the superficial? The movie is truly amazing. Just thinking about it, makes my skin cold, sending a shiver through my veins. Andrew Lloyd Webber is truly a genius. He has conveyed a great love story through his music and voices so beautiful.
