TOUCH, Why you should see this short
Rants and Ramblings November 16th, 2009As you look back across your life, I am willing to bet there are people you have forgotten, whose lives were altered by nothing more than a kind word or a comforting touch from you. This is a thought that is easy to dismiss as we rush through our lives always on the way to somewhere and often oblivious to the people around us. Going through our daily routines, heads down, just moving along and getting through the day. Think for a moment about a time in your life when in the middle of that routine and amongst a crowd of people you felt completely alone. All you needed was a kind word or a comforting touch to remind you that you are not alone.
How often in your life has been something so small made such an impact?
TOUCH is more than brilliant example of filmmaking. It is a reminder that even the smallest act of compassion can make the biggest difference in someone’s life. TOUCH reminds you to pay attention to the world around you and look for the opportunities to make a difference with nothing more than a small touch of kindness.
Some of my favorite films are the films that speak to me on a personal level. There have been times in my life when I felt alone in the crowd. There have been times when that random stranger offered only but a moment of compassion and I left that moment feeling much better. As I look at my life now, I often find myself being that random stranger and it reminds me that no matter what I may need in life, I always have something to give as well. TOUCH gives you that reminder that you have something to give that won’t cost you anything but will mean so much.
The two women in this film were perfect. There was a genuine sincerity that came through the screen as I sat I watched this film. These women took the words from the page and with an artist behind the camera captured a moment in life that so many can relate to. Everyone should this film at least once to remind them a touch of kindness can save a life.
