From time to time I get a little nostalgic and this isn't really a secret. In the past, I have been known to ramble on about things from my childhood or just a few months past that seemed like a lifetime ago. However, there has been something on my brain lately that I can't quite let go of.
FernGully.
This movie changed my life when I was younger. Not only was I fascinated by the fairies and terrified by the black smog, but it really changed and enhanced the way I felt about the environment. I watched this movie so many times and let my imagination carry over into reality. I spent a lot of time outside wandering about, but this movie was another cog to the machine that drove my love for my surroundings and the world at large.
So before I keep droning on about sweet times of my youth I want to take a moment to apply this to real life. Think about the environment today and the state that we're in. This movie can really shed a light on what we deal with today. Destruction, absentmindedness, and lack of care never turns out well when humans interact with mother nature.
I invite you to watch it and let me know what you think. I'd be interested to see if anyone else remembers this movie or is inspired yet again today through watching it.
