Why am I crying?
Paper Clips is a beautiful film.
And it's not because it's about the Jews: it is because it is about everyone, something the children of Whitwell Middle School in Tennessee seem to have grasped with a prescience for our times--this time--exceding that of many of the world's so-called adults.
Whether we have a God or not, and whether we may fathom what we have in the divine, or capital "D" Divine, we have most certainly one another. Mutual indebtedness turns out a swell thing, for in Paper Clips, a documentary about a school project designed to encounter and engage a culture absent from a rural American school, and subsequently produce an engagement with the Holocaust, the resonance of the murder of six million Jews has drawn a profound and profoundly appropriate response, and one that will not exist isolated, unrecognized (hardly), nor unreturned.
I'm watching the DVD from Netflix right now. You may take a few moments or more to watch it at your desktop at this address: http://www.snagfilms.com/films/title/paper_clips/.
