Driftless takes a fresh look at America, the key issues we face, and the people that form this unique nation, through the lens of a state park in the upper-Midwest, and it does so in a very deft and clever manner. I, personally, do not like giving up on people, no matter how temporarily "out of order" they may be, and it was refreshing to experience a main character in a film who feels the same tug on their heart (to not close the door on people). Really, the entire cast of this film played their respective roles exceptionally well, and overall, I felt Driftless displayed, in a very raw and real sense, what it means to be an American today, profoundly capturing the key issues our country continues to grapple with. Much gratitude to all who made this film, a film I know will help spread a message of love and respect for our lands, and each other, so that we all may do our own part to keep this country/world clean and healthy, natural and friendly, and thus wild and "wealthy" (but in a natural sense). #fram
Some people, such as Dashi Namdakov, possess the rare the ability to create with a lasting energy that radiates from within their artwork. It may be childish to say, but I'd like to think that, on some elemental level, the wood, clay, metal, and whatever other materials he may choose to use, must be thankful, on some elemental level, that a person such as Dashi exists to transform them into something everlasting. We all hear the word 'power' a lot. It's deeply rooted in the languages of the world, and has been for ages. Lately, the word 'energy' has entered the world's lexicon in a more meaningful way, and I, for one, am thankful. Power fizzles. Power fades. Even suns burn out over time. ENERGY is what lasts.
This was just what I needed to break the monotony now that the holidays are settling in to get into the spirit. A Community Christmas is just what I needed! Cheers ~
