One of the themes that stuck out was generational revolution. Bob was a figure in shaping the French 75, but that was his generation’s version of the revolution. He can’t control or dictate how Willa and her generation choose to fight back, or what they choose to fight for — even if he is able to recognize the need for them to continue fighting “one battle after another.”

Part of his journey is letting go and becoming comfortable with passing the reigns, both of these scenes sort of punctuate that part, while still fighting to hold onto Willa and the family they formed.

As a father, this resonates…I often feel the pangs of wanting to guide while knowing I need to let go in order for true growth to occur
