Mosaic Recommends That You Watch A Good Movie...
Paris, Texas (1984) 
Wim Wenders has always been a director that I loved. His film Wings of Desire, is one of my favorites, but I think this movie is far more important. And it is a movie for all to see.
Directed by: Wim Wenders
Written by: Sam Shepard Adaptation by: L.M. Kit Carson
Starring: Harry Dead Stanton, Dean Stockwell, Aurore Clement, Nastassja Kinski, and Hunter Carson.
"And when he woke up, he was on fire. There were blue flames burning the sheets of his bed. He ran through the flames toward the only two people he loved... but they were gone."
The film follows Travis(played by Harry Dean Stanton), who has just wondered back into society, after years of absence, and is about to reconnect with his son, his brother, and most importantly, his wife.
This is a film where it has one of my favorite themes, that being the relationships between families who have been estranged for years. It's always interesting to see how filmmakers approach this, because it's not always an easy subject. There are a lot of great things I could say about this movie, like I said, the dynamics between families. Especially, the one between Harry Dean Stanton and Hunter Carson( his son in the film). Sometimes it's hard to invest yourself into characters if there not fully developed or just poorly acted, but in this film, I don't think you have much to worry about. This is a character study about a man trying to find himself, and ultimately, most of the time, it ends well. Harry Dean Stanton does a great job of creating a character that you deeply care about, and you want him to connect with his son and his wife. And over two and half hours, you get to follow this man on one of the greatest journey's a man could take. His wife(played by Nastassja Kinski) also does a wonderful job, and the one of the last scenes of the film has to be one of my favorite scenes. The emotion that comes from that scene could break even the coldest of hearts.

We just recorded our 4th podcast for The Adventures of Dave and Ryno and it will be up sometime this week. I have taken over the responsibility of editing the podcasts from Ryno (he edited the first three), so I'm excited to see how they will turn out. We are also thinking about doing a new episode of "Mosaic Recommends That You Watch a Good Movie" which will more than likely consist of our favorite horror films. It will be a very special episode since horror is a favorite of ours.
