“Your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing.”
-Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment

“I am the Truth.” -Mansur Al-Hallaj
In this video I take a look at the narratives of Lion King and Moana and ask important questions over identity, authenticity, and belonging.

“There must be some mistake,
I didn’t mean to let them
Take away my soul,
Am I too old, is it too late?
Where has the feeling gone?
Will I remember the song?”
Pink Floyd, The Show Must Go On
In this video, we take a look at two albums that I love dearly: Daft Punk’s Discovery and Pink Floyd’s The Wall, along with the two movies that were created for the movie. Join me as I dive into the theme of leaving and returning by examining The Wall (1982) and Interstella 5555 (2003).
“The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can’t be any large-scale revolution until there’s a personal revolution, on an individual level. It’s got to happen inside first.”
-Jim Morrison
