"Echoes of the Forgotten"
A Journey Through Lost Memories and Hidden Truths The rain had just begun when Elira stepped into her grandmother’s attic for the first time in years. Dust swirled in the air, lit by the pale light seeping through the cracked windowpanes. She was here for closure. After her grandmother's funeral, Elira returned to the house she hadn't visited since childhood, hoping to find something—anything—that would explain the strange dreams that had haunted her for weeks. They weren’t ordinary dreams. They felt real. A golden field beneath a violet sky, a melody played on a strange instrument, a boy with eyes like a storm. Each night, fragments of a life she didn’t recognize surfaced in her mind, growing more vivid, more desperate. While rummaging through a trunk of yellowed letters and old photographs, her fingers brushed against something cold and metallic. A silver locket, its surface engraved with unfamiliar symbols. As soon as she touched it, a pulse of warmth shot through her chest. The attic blurred, her knees buckled—and suddenly, she was standing in that golden field from her dreams. She turned in disbelief. Everything looked exactly as it had in her visions. The violet sky rippled like silk, and wind whispered secrets through the tall grass. A figure stood ahead, half-shadowed. It was the boy. His storm-colored eyes widened. "You’ve returned," he said softly. "But you're... different." Elira stepped back. “Who are you?” The boy tilted his head. “You don’t remember me, do you? Not yet.” Lightning cracked across the sky. When Elira blinked, she was back in the attic, breathless. The locket dangled from her hand, warm against her palm. Shaken, she took it to the local library, desperate for answers. There, she met Callen, a quiet, reclusive archivist who recognized the symbols. “These are from the Valean language,” he said, pulling a faded book from a high shelf. “A culture wiped out during the Cataclysm War... over two hundred years ago.” “That’s impossible,” Elira murmured. “How could I dream about something from two centuries ago?” Callen frowned. “Sometimes the past doesn't die. Sometimes, it sleeps—in blood, in memory.” Together, they began to uncover the truth. Elira was a Descendant, born from a bloodline cursed to forget its origins. During the war, her ancestors sealed away their memories to protect knowledge that could destroy—or save—the world. The locket was the key. Each night, Elira wore it and returned to the dream world. And each time, the boy was waiting. His name was Kaelen. He had been her guardian, her friend—her love—in a life she had forgotten. But the dreams began to shift. Darker images bled through. A masked figure watching from the shadows. Screams in the night. A city crumbling into dust. One night, Kaelen told her the truth. “You weren’t just anyone,” he said. “You were the Keeper of Truth. You held the knowledge to stop the war. But you chose to forget—to seal it away so no one could use it.” Elira’s heart ached with confusion. “Then why now? Why am I remembering?” “Because the war is rising again,” Kaelen said, eyes heavy with sorrow. “And only you can stop it.” In the waking world, Elira and Callen searched for remnants of the lost Valean civilization. Beneath the ruins of a forgotten temple, they found it: a sealed chamber, guarded by ancient glyphs. When Elira placed the locket into a carved indentation, the door groaned open. Inside, the chamber thrummed with power. Murals on the wall showed glimpses of her past life—her and Kaelen standing together, leading others, protecting knowledge too dangerous to exist. At the center stood a crystal pedestal. Resting atop it, a book bound in silver. As Elira opened it, a flood of memories surged back. She remembered the war. The betrayals. The terrible knowledge that could destroy worlds. But she also remembered love, sacrifice, and hope. Kaelen’s voice echoed in her mind. “You don’t have to carry this alone this time.” Elira turned to Callen. “We have a choice. Use this knowledge to stop what’s coming—or seal it away forever, again.” Callen looked at her. “What will you choose?” She closed the book. “This time, I’ll remember. This time, we fight.” The echoes of the forgotten had awakened. And Elira was ready to face them.

The Early Films That Shaped Me
Coming to America I have no concrete memory of how this film came into my life, how I first ended up seeing it and what the circumstances were, but if there's one comedy film that stands out to me, it's this. Coming to America is hilarious! I do remember my older sister and I watching an edited version of it on VHS, which dubbed all the swearing with more 'appropriate' language. This just made the film more funny! Hearing people say 'damn you' when you can actually see their lips saying, 'fuck you', or 'sorry sucker' in place of, 'mother fucker' added unintended humour, on top of the intentional humour.

Charming Classic - “The Revenant”
'Perish the universe, provided I have my revenge!' - Cyrano de Bergerac I haven't written a film review in over a year (written February, 2016). When asked why, I've explained that a lack of time is the key factor, but on reflection this has just been an excuse. The real truth, is that I've not been inspired enough by a single piece of cinema in some time. I love film for reasons beyond entertainment. For me it's escapism, an art-form that resonates and that I enjoy tackling from an analytical stance (hence this blog!). It's been some time however, since I've left a film screening that has stirred an emotional response within me. Nothing has impacted to the point where it shook me from my analytical hibernation and reignited a desire to share my filmic thoughts. That is until I experienced Alejandro González Iñárritu's, The Revenant.
