The City Dark

I really want to watch this film.


I really wish I could see the stars at night. I remember a few times camping as a kid in boy scouts up on a mountain and seeing the most amazing night sky completely filled with stars. It really is sad that most people will go through their whole lives never being able to see that and some not knowing that it is even there. The city night sky creates the perception of closeness of the sky, it mostly looks empty like nothing else exists. Being able to see the stars opens up the possibility of what more there could be. It makes you feel small. The city night sky creates another perception of reality, you feel more apart of the city then apart of the world or the universe as a whole. It narrows your view of what is, or what could be. It's something that will probably never go away or change though. It is too bad that we block out the beauty of the night sky.
