I swear that as the movie began to come to an end I was taken by the most incredible thing. I swear that as I sat there I felt my dads presence with me in that room. Tears filled my eyes and the air became thick. I could feel, with absolute certainty my dads arm hug me from behind. His right hand sitting in the center of chest and then I exploded. I no longer could choke back tears and I sobbed. My arms crossed my own chest in a desperate attempt to hold on to him. I felt so comforted, so at ease, and so loved. I thanked him over and over again and of course, I begged him to stay. Then he was gone. I sat there in awe, and I have no idea what to make of any of it.
So how is it that I have seen so many movies but never seen a movie that is so loved by so many? My family included among them. My family has always said everything happens for a reason, and though I have begun to hold this sentiment as just that, a sentiment; this is most definitely one of those times. I believe that had I seen this movie earlier in my life it simply would not have affected me in the same way. It is really amazing how some times things happen in such a perfect way that the results are incredible.
This is a movie that has been around since 1989. It is loved by most that see it and the technical reviews for this movie are plentiful. For me there were a few things I loved about this film. The cast of characters, the story, and the soundtrack were my favorite parts.
Thank you for reading!
