TRUTH

So I have seen this film four times now and I am taking my 9 ½ year old son to see it for his first time tonight. Ten years ago I gingerly squeezed my 7 months pregnant belly into an overstretched X-Files t-shirt and sat at midnight completely captivated by “Fight the Future." Now to be able to take my child, who was inside of me for the first movie to see “I Want to Believe”, it has all come full circle. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to believe again, in life, in love, in ourselves. It has been an honor for me to work with XFN to help promote this film and I plan to continue in the future to support “The X-Files” and everyone involved in it along with their future endeavors. I spent four days last week in Los Angeles and I got to meet and talk with a lot of great people. “Nailed it” doesn’t begin to describe the love affair fans are having with this film.
So to end this, critics are paid to be critical while fans are rewarded beyond measure time and time again with this series and the people involved in it. There are those out there who cannot see past aliens and green goo but I want you to know that there are just as many who really understand what this show was about, and it was never just about aliens. “The X-Files” is about truth, and becoming a better human being by wanting to believe in it, searching for it, and making yourself and those around you better because of it. Each person’s truth might be slightly different, but in the end, the deeper meaning of this series is what keeps it alive in the hearts and minds of those willing to see it.
It’s been fun.
