2009: At the Movies

I'm a sucker for YouTube videos that review the year in film. This one wraps up 2007 set to "Falling Slowly" from Once, and this one reviews 2008 to "Hoppipolla" by Sigur Ros from the "Slumdog Millionaire" trailer. Now, a new video examines cinema in 2009 to Arcade Fire's "Wake Up" from the "Where the Wild Things Are" trailer.

The way these videos review some of cinema's greatest moments from the year in the span of a few minutes, set to such beautiful songs, gives me a swell of pride about film. It reminds me why I love film so much, why I find it so magical. In this case I think the music and images are worth a thousand words, so check out "2009: At the Movies" below.
