Rarely does a a cinematic experience have such a profound affect. Life had ceased to have much meaning, drink had become my only friend, my life was disintegrating around me...just as I had reached my lowest ebb I stumbled across this masterpiece of film making. It was a quasi religious experience. I think it was at the point the cat introduced the dirty hoe, I cannot be sure, but I became filled with joy and renewed purpose. You can be too. So don't listen to the nay sayers, let that counter cultural cat in the hat into your life.
