Beautiful writing, Laurence. Thanks for this. I have my own personal anthology of images from films seen in childhood that I probably shouldn't have seen.

I love this, we are visual creatures. There is a hymn that is taught to children, but that is no less relevant to adults: “Oh, be careful little eyes, what you see, there’s a father up above looking down in tender love, Oh, be careful little eyes, what you see.” It may sound prudish, but it is rather founded in Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 6:22-23 to guard your eyes, to keep them healthy for the eye is the lamp of the body and if your eye is not healthy then your whole body will be full of darkness.
