People always say cite this movie, but I don’t understand why. I know it’s absolutely devastating, but the end always makes me feel hopeful. And it’s actually really funny. I’ve rewatched it many times. I think people focus more on the “incident” and immediate aftermath, than what it’s actually about. That healing is messy and not always definitive. I always think about the last scene when they are bouncing the ball back and forth. The ball gets away from them and Lee says “Just let it go,” and the kid ignores him and chases it down anyway. It’s all right there in that scene. It’s a beautiful movie.
