Rabbit Hole

It's not often that I come across a really great movie. Movies today are mostly garbage if you ask me. They have so much flash and cash and contain so little depth. So when I do come across a really good movie I like to share it!

Rabbit Hole is one of those movies. It tells the story of a young couple whose little boy was killed, and the aftermath the parents experienced. This story was profoundly poignant, and beautifully written. It deals with such a taboo subject that so very few people are willing to venture into. Yet it is bluntly honest and painfully accurate. It is truly one of a kind, and one I highly recommend.

"We're collections of chemicals … bundles of bone and blood and breath. Parsed, we're nothing, our distilled elements worth pocket change. We're neither scarce nor special—a marvel of engineering made commonplace through mass replication. People outnumber pigs and pigeons and Ping-Pong paddles and fill the earth like grains of sand. The planet keeps turning when one of us dies, the Milky Way remains unmoved. If one of us disappears, there are 7 billion more to fill the gap.

And yet it doesn't fill. We leave, and a hole remains … an emptiness echoing of grief unimagined. In death we see the truth: We are priceless … and irreplaceable."
