What is life? A madness. What is life? An illusion, a shadow, a story. And the greatest good is little enough; for all life is a dream, and dreams themselves are only dreams.
Life is one big love story with hundreds of little love stories within it.
'Detroit 1-8-7' — the numbers are police slang for murder — is filmed in that blue-collar Michigan city, providing a flavor of authenticity. Detroit offers a unique visual landscape that tells the story of the city and what it's been through.
How many times do you read about 'the Cinderella story', the story of the underdog, the story of the ordinary human being, often subjected to cruelty and ignorance and neglect, who somehow triumphs?
'A Child Called It' was a story about resilience, it was never about boo hoo hoo, it was about a kid that didn't quit.
