Time
When I was 3 I saw ANH. Don’t remember much, but it was the first film I ever went to. My dad took me. At age 6, I saw Empire and flipped out. NO WAY is Darth Vader Luke's father. NO WAY!! At 9, I and about 5 of my friends/family saw Jedi, and we bugged out again. That’s one of the most precious moments I had as a child. Classics masterpieces, on a big screen. Popcorn and candy, friends and family. It was great. I was a kid, and I didn’t care about plot, effects, who did what to who. We all went in the theater and lost ourselves in a painting. A 2 and half hour beautiful work of art.

Maybe I’m just rambling. I don’t know. This is just my opinion. But what I do know, is that I don’t ever want to forget the way I grew up. I don’t ever want to forget the light saber battles in my backyard with my friends, or the toys, or the lunchboxes, or whatever else we did when we were young. That is a precious time to me. I want my children, and my grandchildren, and so on and so on, to be able to experience the joy I felt as a kid. It’s a right of passage. It’s an air loom. Call it what you want.

But I want it the way it used to be. I want it real. I want it with its SOUL

Mr. Lucas:
I think you are one of the greatest artists to ever live. Shakespeare, Escher, Mozart, Van Gough, Hemmingway, da Vinci. You’re up there man.

But you’ve harnessed the power of hindsight. And I don’t think that is an ability that anyone should have, especially, WHEN IT COMES TO ART. Leonardo da Vinci painted one of the greatest paintings in the world, THE MONA LISA. It has been viewed, and discussed, and fought over, and studied, and it is still the benchmark. UNTOUCHABLE.
But if da Vinci were alive today, I know in my heart, that if given the chance, to add to that smile, he would have left it alone. Even with all the brightest new colors, and the most expensive new paint. He would have left it alone.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, we all just want to be behind that velvet rope. We all want to gaze at that smile, and just lose ourselves again. Just one more time.


You can't touch up a masterpiece, or it loses its SOUL.
