Edward Meinert and some random notes.
. . .I got everything I need right here with me. I got air in my lungs, a few blank sheets of paper. . .I love waking up in the morning not knowing what's gonna happen or, who I'm gonna meet, where I'm gonna wind up. Just the other night I was sleeping under a bridge and now here I am on the grandest ship in the world having champagne with you fine people. . .You learn to take life as it comes at you. . .. . .to make each day count.

Oscar Fallout, revisited
I have to admit it, I didn't want to like it. Yes, I was impressed with the reviews and the cast, but inside I wanted to dismiss this movie. Why? Because I had an image of a movie presented with manufactured sentiment, a movie made to be "profound" or "emotional". I was wrong. This movie has very careful and powerful acting, the simple score works well and the movie's messages regarding redemption, forgiveness, reconcilliation, triumph, adversity, loss and love are moving. I believe we learn the most by observing the difficulties others endure.
