Cinephile No. 603 "Sully"

Reviews
Written By Nathan Box

We often assume we don't possess the power to rise to the occasion. We think we can't do the impossible. We doubt our inner-strength. Over the course of our lives, we will more than likely be confronted with a moment which flies in the face of our assumptions. In these moments, we either fly or fight. When we fight, we prove ourselves wrong and do extraordinary things. "Sully" is a film about a man who did more than save a plane full of people. It is a film about a man rising to meet his moment. As he did, we are allowed a rare opportunity; a chance to see ourselves and envision what we are truly capable of when our backs are against the wall and the opposing side of the canyon jump seems too far. My guess is we are all quite capable, if only for a second we could summon an insane amount of courage and let our wings free. 

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.
