"I will miss you too, but you are wrong if you think that the joy of life comes principally from the joy of human relationships.

God’s place is all around us, it is in everything and in anything we can experience.

People just need to change the way they look at things."

Hal Holbrook (Ron Franz)

"Yeah. I am going to take stock of that.

You know I am.

They are both looking at the view from the top of the hill including the vista, the blue sky and the billowy cumulous clouds and the sunlight breaking through the clouds.

I want to tell you something.

From bits and pieces of what you have told me about your family, your mother and your dad …

And I know you have problems with the church too …

But there is some kind of bigger thing that we can all appreciate and it sounds to me you don’t mind calling it God.

But when you forgive, you love.

And when you forgive, God’s light shines through you."


It was pretty poignant part of the movie - and well described forgiveness and God and love and how they are all intertwined.

Just thought I would share.

I Loved that part.




*MOVIE SPOILER*




I also loved the fact that he thought he was so mad, and hated his Mom so much....
But in the end when he was dying, he was calling for "His Mom"...

Hmmm

I loved that movie, and Hal Holbrook's part so very much. I remember when the story was first put into a People magazine. So very sad. I loved what Sean Penn did with this story.
