An elegy on How To Get There.
alexmatte16 October 2019
A sweet, gentle fairy tale in a world of savagery, whether post-war 1949 or eternal-war 2019. Very reminiscent of The Wizard of Oz and just as charming. And, like it, it brings to mind the famous "How to Get There" cartoon by the genius that is Michael Leunig: "How to get there. Go to the end of the path until you get to the gate. Go through the gate and head straight out towards the horizon. Keep going towards the horizon. Sit down and have a rest every now and again. But keep on going. Just keep on with it. Keep on going as far as you can. That's how you get there."

No hatred, no resentment, no retribution. Just faith and courage. Beautiful.
