"I also want to observe that our response to every film depends on the person we bring to it. Pauline Kael said she went to a movie, and the movie happened, and she wrote about what changed within her after she saw it. This is quite valid. Sometimes, however, we go to a movie, and our lives have happened, and we write about what hasn’t changed."

Yes, he’s reviewing Letters to Juliet, probably not the best film ever made. But I thought there was something really beautiful about the way he put that.
