PRESERVE ME A SEAT

It’s very strong in its case, showing things of beauty being torn asunder in the name of parking lots, parking lots, parking lots, and hospital parking lots. We see true human pain as things of beauty are ripped apart because a community lacks the money or will to update or preserve them.
There’s also a lot of chronicling here, including a theater that they didn’t even fully destroy as a parking lot. Not only did they rape the beauty, they left it above their heads to fall on the cars every now and again parked in the lobby...
This doesn’t change the appropriateness of the message, however, that be it one day before or a thousand days before a thing of beauty is lost, it still hurts to lose a thing of beauty.

The story of the fall of the Cinerama theater on multiple fronts, this
film examines cultural losses across the United States to strip malls,
greedy businesses, and governments that ignore the will of the minority
in favor of cash.
There is a lot of reaching here, as usually happens when someone is
passionate about something. A lot of trying to tell businesses what they
can do with land they own. A lot of people getting together in the last
three weeks before something is demolished and trying to stop it instead
of trying to preserve it for the last thirty years a property has been
empty.
This movie is a strong argument against the progress of the suburbs, and
works well because of it. Great flick, especially for an indie.
