We want them to find happiness, we want them to achieve some measure of their dreams, and we want them to grow emotionally as people. If they can do it, then there’s no reason we can’t as well.

To explain this, I’m going to give you a look at what my decision making process looks like as I pit the number 1 film on Flickchart against my number 1 film: The Dark Knight vs. High Fidelity.
