I believe that nature is the most amazing and beautiful thing I have ever seen… Animals, trees, mountains, rivers, sea, lakes, everything that is alive and was here before us… My respect for nature goes beyond what I could ever have imagined … For the tiniest insect (even though I run a mile when one gets near me!) to biggest and most majestic of animals that are still lucky enough to exist, I cry with my soul and broken heart when I see what’s going on in the world, all the species that are disappearing, all the animals that now only know life in special reserves because that’s the only way they will survive… all the forests that are now gone and will take hundreds of years to recover, if we ever give them the chance… I do not want my kids to see a picture of a Panda and have to explain to them why they are not here anymore… Is there anything more innocent and pure than nature? I don’t think so…
So in saying this, I try to teach my kids the same respect for the world that belongs to us.. the love for those little ants that work hard everyday in front to our garden, the love for the rain and the sun because we all need them, the love for the sunrise and sunsets because they are perfect… I want them to look and appreciate how amazing all of this is… and I believe that if there is going to be any positive change in this world the only ones that are going to do it are our kids… with our help, teaching and guidance… Everytime I see a film like the one Sofia, Emma & I went to see today it goes straight to my heart and I want to hug and kiss the people that create these fantastic movies, it makes me realize that there are many others like me that believe in the same things that I DO..
How fantastic it is to sit with your children and enjoy a film together, tucked under blankets, (today was a very hot day but for some reason here in Buenos Aires they like to have the cinemas like igloos - they are freezing, so I took a blanket, it is cosy that way) with delicious popcorn, chocolates of every kind and absorb a film.. and even better a film with a gorgeous message… I normally get very emotional by the end of these types of films (thank god they like to clap at the end of every movie here, so I can express myself that way, but really I want to jump up and down). This particular film was an animation and many people will probably never understand how I can get so emotional… but I do, the message is incredibly valuable…
Here is the title……EL LORAX En busca de la Trufula Perdida…(Dr. Seuss The Lorax)
Maybe you have seen this film a long time ago and it is already a "classic" but the movies arrive a little bit late here! … If you have already seen it, well done, and if not, just give it a go with the little ones!
The other movie I loved was Happy Feet 2… you know ........ for the message! ❀ Liana
