There are several key moments in my life that cemented my love for movies: my aunt and uncle taking me to see Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001), wearing out a VHS of The Beatles' Yellow Submarine (1968) movie, watching Kill Bill (2003) on television for the first time, and the list goes on. …
