Cinephile No. 491 “71”

Reviews
Written By Nathan Box

“71” is an intense movie focused on a small part of the violence between Catholics and Protestants in Ireland. It reminded me to be patient while Muslims work through the things that divide them. As our hero ran for his life, I was also reminded how complicated man makes religion. As he dodged in and out of alleys and eventually into the arms of good Samaritans, I was filled with joy at the thought that some people will always believe the basic message of religion; love. As the ending rises to a breaking point, the thought of man always being a non-believer during the good times flashed through my mind. And finally, as the credits rolled, I remembered that the past always has a way of repeating itself.


Thanks for entering my world,

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
