Oh Floreana—would be Eden welcome your guests! Who among them will win your heart? Self proclaimed Adam and Eve toothless philosophers, fruitless, in pain Wild baroness in a triangle manifests a false paradise manipulating love for her fame Run away family fleeing begging of you sanctuary from a world in flame Unforgiving islands save only strong the fit will survive Floreana—silent—watches on
This poem was inspired by the movie Eden. I was fortunate to see an early screening this week and was blown away by what I saw. I’ve seen a lot of negative reactions to it and I think that’s because the movie grapples with the most base aspects of human nature. It’s not and easy movie to watch but if you’re ready for it, it really packs a punch.
Cinema always blends itself seamlessly to Poetry. Thanks for sharing, Daniel! Interested to see this film at some point. Ron Howard is an incredible director!
Saving this for after I watch it.
