A Reason to Live: Signs

Imagine how this beautiful little movie would look as a series of still images, as a slide presentation. Since facial expressions are extremely subtle, you would miss a lot of the body language that makes this movie work.  

Why did I choose this as Video of the Week? Because you FEEL the boredom and ennui this man feels, slogging through the day until he finds a reason to wake up in the morning, look forward to the day ahead and bounce out of bed. You feel his dejection. You feel his elation. THAT is what a great movie does - allows you to FEEL what someone else is feeling.
