An enlightened cinema can inspire a civilized world, can lend us the pause, the breath, the reflection that might embolden us to take the best part of ourselves, that capacity for enchantment and openness, for wit and intrigue, that admiration for human flexibility and resource, our capacity to survive things, for thrill and sensation that we find in the witness that cinema represents, and build on it out in the open and under the sky, IRL.
一个开明的电影可以激励一个文明的世界，可以给予我们暂停、呼吸、反思的机会，这可能会增强我们发挥自身最好的一面，那种被吸引和开放的能力，那种机智和神秘感，那种对人类灵活性和资源的赞赏，我们生存下去的能力，以及我们在电影所代表的见证中找到的那种刺激和感觉，在现实世界中，在开阔的空间和天空下加以发扬。

在坚信公平能在地球上成为现实的道路上，建立勇敢的信念， 支持可靠的人类共识，并尊重我们所有人之间的差异和尊严， 毫无例外。
Maybe humans, friends, trust in cinema, support big screens wherever we find them, watch everything there, hold the streaming services to their proud claim to be big cinema supportive, and encourage them to spend a large chunk of their squillions on building, renovating, and enlivening cinema theatres in every territory they reach.
