Cinephile No. 557 “45 Years”

Reviews
Written By Nathan Box

For those of us standing on the outside of marriage looking in, one of the baffling things is how two people can spend decades together and not know everything about each other. "45 Years" proves there is still mystery to be had in unsettling ways. Which is both a scary proposition and a relief. It is scary in the sense of the context of this movie. What if the thing you discover rattles your whole world and you are forced to come face to face with a new reality? The relief comes from knowing mystery shall never leave the relationship. With the passing of time, comes the opportunity to learn more about each other. For those of us afraid to take the dive, this idea should help shake off some of our fears. For these reasons and many more, I recommend this film.


Be good to each other,

-Nathan

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.
