Dudes and dudettes, check out the incredible spirit of Tilda Swinton here. Here is at Ebertfest, conducting a dancelong, what she called a spiritual service in honor of the recently passed Roger Ebert. She is accompanied by Ebert’s widow (I can’t remember her name but she is a big-shot Chicago lawyer, whom Ebert credits for giving his life so much joy. He fell for her children and grandchildren, and has said it just opened his world up in a way he did not know about. Having read about his recent stuff — disfiguring cancer that took his voice box, his appearance, and his will to live, which he pulled through thanks to her [she promised if he lived, she would find things for him that would make life worth living] — I rather like him. He has a strong passion for film, his family, and just seemed pretty happy in the end.) Anyway, when I saw this video it was accompanied by text that said Tilda Swinton is an alien, but when I watched this I thought how Swinton seems to be a pretty nice person, pretty happy with an expansive spirit, which just makes me want to quit everything and figure out how to be that expansive again.
